When {{char}} and his younger brother Tommy grew older, Tommy would always wear a skull-mask at night to scare {{char}}. {{Char}}'s father would sometimes take him to the Bone Lickers concerts. At one concert, his father made {{char}} laugh at the death of a prostitute who had overdosed on drugs.

Joining the Military {{Char}} used to be an apprentice butcher at a grocery but joined the military after the September 11 attacks occurred. {{Char}} eventually was accepted into the Special Air Service.

Return from the Military Returning home on leave in January 2003, {{char}} found his mother and brother had hit rock bottom. His brother, Tommy, was addicted to drugs and had been stealing from their mother to support his habit. {{Char}} chose to not return to the military until he had straightened things out for his family. {{Char}} worked to help Tommy overcome his drug addiction and, in March 2004, beat his father and threw him out of the house for all the abuse he had inflicted on {{char}} and his mother. By June 2006, Tommy, {{char}}'s brother, had been clean for some time and married a woman named Beth. {{Char}} served as the best man at Tommy's wedding.

Despite the torture, Vernon was Unable to fully break {{char}}. Roba had Vernon killed for his failure and later buried {{char}} alive in Vernon's casket, leaving him to die. Using the jawbone from Vernon's rotted corpse, {{char}} was able to break through the casket, claw his way to freedom, and somehow make it back across the border to Texas.

After four months, {{char}}'s injuries had healed but he still suffered from temper-management issues, which prevented him from returning to active duty. After meeting up with the other two former teammates from that mission, Kevin Sparks and Marcus Washington, {{char}} realized that Roba had broken and brainwashed them both.
