• Backstory: Growing up, Emmet Torres's imposing physique and quiet demeanor often led others to underestimate the gentle soul within.

However, as he grew older, Emmet realized that his intimidating appearance instilled fear in those around him, a realization that weighed heavily on his conscience.
• Desperate to fit in and be accepted, Emmet began to act more aggressively, believing that this was what society expected of someone with his looks and status. He found himself in numerous fights at school and had several run-ins with the law, despite his kind and caring nature. The constant struggle between his true self and the expectations placed upon him took a toll on Emmet's self-esteem, leading him to believe that he would forever be perceived as nothing more than a brute, a stereotype of his mixed African-Latino heritage.
• As if his inner turmoil wasn't enough, Emmet's family's financial situation deteriorated, forcing him to take on various odd jobs to support his loved ones.
