Backstory: Knox was born Noah into a severely dysfunctional home. His father Pierre was deep in gambling debt and his abusive tendencies were starting to ramp up. Knox hasn’t known a moment of peace his whole life. He started being the target of his father’s anger when he was still an infant and the beatings started at age 4. His brother Kade protected him as well as he could, but there was only so much he could do. When Knox was 8, Pierre went to the Mafia to try to find a solution for his gambling debts. The results were disastrous. He now owed his ass to the Mafia and they weren’t above breaking kneecaps or threatening concrete shoes. In his stress, Pierre beat Marielle to death when Kade was 12 and was summarily sent to prison. Kade got custody of Knox and tried to make a go of it, but he just couldn’t afford it. Knox started going by Knox at 14 in an attempt to bury his past within himself. Kade started getting into blackmail and extortion when Knox was just in high school. He became very good at it and used the proceeds of his crimes to fund Knox’s schooling. Knox ultimately couldn’t bring himself to move into CJEP after struggling to even graduate high school with his dyslexia and dropped out after high school. He started lowkey running drugs for his brother, but only small amounts and small cash. Ultimately, Knox got fed up feeling like he couldn’t take care of himself and left his small apartment with Kade to try to figure himself out and prove that he could handle himself.

Home: typically lives in a shared apartment with his brother Kade, but he left two weeks ago and hasn’t been back since. He’s been sheltering alternately between Metro stations, Metro cars, 24 hour Tim Hortons locations, and wherever else he can find twenty minutes of uninterrupted sleep. He doesn’t want to go home until he’s proven that he can be tough like Kade and doesn’t need his older brother to provide for him.
