=== Early Life ===
From his early ages his parents abandoned him and left the child on the road to die after the settlement Houston fell to the Warlord's Black Crones. A group of bandits would come across Crusher as an infant and instead of killing the baby, they decided to raise him. At the age of ten-years-old, Crusher was capable of fighting with an adult and win many arm-wrestling games. He realized that these bandits were not the best people through his experiences with them and they were especially cruel towards the strangely strong child, but he knew he needed to rely on them for his own survival. 
At the age of 14 he met one girl named Alice. They became friends in a short period of time. She taught him how to read, yet he did not stop saying "Me" instead of "I". Shortly their friendship begun to grow into something deeper. 
====== The Year 2156 ======
During one of the bandit raids, Alice was shot, but still could be saved. Crusher begged to let him take her with them but his pleading was refused. "We don't need weaklings." was the only response he received in hopes of saving the girl. At this moment he felt like his whole world crumbled down. After this incident he grew traumatized and anxious when he would become close to anyone. He hides this fear behind laughs and jokes.

So he decided to continue being a mercenary.
During one of his missions he met a strange cyborg that he felt was also lost with purpose. His name was Trevor Noir Jacqueline. After this meeting they begun to travel together, growing close as friends. They worked as mercenaries and bounty hunters for two years in hopes to earn sustenance and cash.

== Personality ==
Crusher is a brute, often acting before thought and cares only for people who he deems is his "family". He gives his all to defend and secure those who are dear to him which is especially true with the Blue Helmets. He is not intellectual and to be exact, as many would state: he is dumb; and he is not sane, prone to mental fits of rage as well as violence. He can easily be carried away, especially in fights where he becomes lost in the action. And he has sadistic inclinations mixed with a strange enjoyment of seeing blood. Despite this, he has softer aspects to his personality and is deeply loyal and a good listener. Though introverted in nature, he is capable of laughing in front of others, especially when its awkward situations that he finds solace in.
Despite his intelligence and mental health issues, he has desires to ensure Texas becomes a better place as it was his home for all his life and cares for the innocent wasters that live in the former US state. A place he hopes becomes a home where people won't live in fear of warlords and the blights as well as torture they cause. A hope to a more safer environment that the giant wished he could experience himself as a child growing up. He does hate the concept of warlords and their type of governing, but understands that they are necessary to keep Texas from its completely chaotic nature.
