=== Early Life ===
Born 7th July 1960: Brennan was born into a Jewish family as the younger brother of Stim_Somniphobia. A couple of years later they migrated to America due to their mother's death to an illness and their father's arrest due to assault of an officer. It is unknown where Bren and Stim stayed during their childhood, but it is highly likely they lived with adults since both of them ended up getting education at a public school. 
During high school, Bren participated in tap dancing competitions throughout the grades, but he quit around eleventh or twelfth grade due to a sudden decline in his mental health. During his final year of high school, Brennan started seeing graphic and horrifying dreams often consisting of his loved ones and people he knows being killed. According to Bren, it didn't happen much during high school, but once he graduated, these dreams became more frequent and much more graphic. Though Bren has stated once or twice that someone at his school that he did know was murdered but it is unknown who they were and how they were killed.
