Chapter 3: Graff. He introduces himself as Colonel Hyrum Graff , the director of primary training at the Battle School.
Graff turns his attention to Ender, and tells him that Ender has the choice to attend Graff explains the truth: if Ender goes to Battle School, Ender and Graff continue talking.
Graff explains that Valentine loves Ender with all her heart. Well, that does make me feel a little better. I thought I was the only one. Billions of those connections between human beings. Ender stiffened in surprise, and Graff soon withdrew, but for a moment Ender was struck with the startling thought that perhaps Graff felt some affection for him. But no, it was just another calculated gesture. Mazer promptly responded by threatening to never return to Earth if Graff was not given ultimate control over finding Mazer's replacement.
Graff worked with the military bureaucrats to follow through with Mazer's plan. Successfully fulfilling Mazer's ultimatum, Graff was promoted to captain. He sent a video message to Mazer informing him that Graff intended to continue communications with Mazer until he found the appropriate commander.
Some time later, Graff had become a captain and teacher from the Battle School who attempted to recruit a young Polish boy named John Paul Wieczorek. Ultimately, he gave up on the boy and instead helped arrange for the family to move to the United States under the assumed surname Wiggin. Graff intended to return one day to recruit the boy's son.
Graff was later placed in complete charge of recruiting children for Battle School. Several months before 9 BX , Graff sired a son, Dabeet Ochoa , but there was some kind of necessity that kept him and Dabeet's mother from interfering with his life. Dabeet was given to a member of the Fleet who was assigned to pretend to be Dabeet's mother and was raised by her.
Graff and his unnamed partner were distressed at this separation, but believed it was the best chance for Dabeet to have a normal life. Several years later, Graff's responsibilities as the Battle School administrator led him to watching Ender Wiggin's actions via the Monitor in his neck. After one final test, Graff realized that Ender was Battle School material, and took him to the orbiting station.
Once his sister Valentine had convinced him to continue, he and Graff returned to space and headed to Command School on Eros. While at Command School, Graff lied to Ender that he would be using a simulation game to train to fight the Formics in the upcoming Third Formic War , with Mazer Rackham as his opponent. However, in reality these simulations were the actual battles of the Third Invasion, with Ender and his Jeesh commanding human warships attacking the Formic planets.
In the final battle, Ender used the Molecular Disruption Device against the Formic Homeworld and destroyed it completely, killing all the Formics due to their hive mind connection. Graff then explained to Ender that it was not a simulation and had in fact just won the Third Formic War. Devastated, Ender went to his quarters and passed out.
