Recent numerical relativistic simulations have found that recoil from gravitational wave emission of merging black holes can produce kicks up to 1000 km/s. Because intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are thought to form in dense stellar clusters, their ejection from the cluster becomes a real possibility. In this talk we present results on the retention probability of IMBHs as they interact with the host cluster's stellar-mass black hole population. We consider the ramifications of gravitational wave recoil and potential for further growth as the IMBHs merge with stellar mass black holes. We consider IMBHs that are the evolution of Population III stars, core-collapse runaway merger remnants (including multiples), and those built up from mergers of stellar-mass black holes.
