The animated short Taste of Home revealed Warly's past. Before entering the Constant, Warly lived with his Maman Angeline. Maman Angeline had a form of dementia, which prevented her from recognizing Warly. She sat in a rocking chair with a blank look on her face. Warly entered the house and played her music from the gramophone, which she tapped her finger to. He cooked her Mussel Bouillabaise, one of her old recipes from his childhood. Once she took a bite of his food, Maman Angeline's memory came back and she smiled at Warly, finally able to recognize him. After enjoying the meal and seeing Warly, her memory faded again. Warly took the empty dish to the kitchen, but suddenly the gramophone began to play distorted music, and Warly disappeared. Maman was then left alone in the house.
His biography presented in DST's Compendium adds more details to his backstory:
Warly left a promising career as a sous chef in Paris to return home and care for his aging mother Angeline, whose memory had begun to deteriorate. His world soon revolved around telling her stories about her life, playing her favorite music, cooking the recipes she had taught him when he was young... all in the hopes of catching that spark of recognition in her eyes. As time went on and Angeline's moments of clarity became fewer and farther in-between, Warly became more desperate, willing to try anything to bring back his beloved Maman... That was when he first started hearing the voice on the radio.

* Warly's voice is played by a steel drum.

=== Lore ===
* Warly is shown to be able to speak French. For example, whenever eating something made in a Crock Pot he says "Magnifique".
* Warly seems to be superstitious, as suggested from inspecting the Umbrella item: "I will try to remember not to open indoors." This is also evidenced by him saying, "I hope it does not rain after I kill you!" when attacking a spider.
* Warly's region of origin could be implied by his voice instrument. The steel drum was created in Trinidad and Tobago of the West Indies in the Caribbean (An area well known for its history of piracy). Additionally, he could have roots in Louisiana due to his quote for Seafood Gumbo: "Incredible! Just like Nana used to make!"
* In his quote for the Boomerang, Warly states that he has separation anxiety. An individual affected by this experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from home and/or from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment (e.g., a parent, caregiver, significant other, or siblings).
**This follows a theme established in his animated short Taste of Home where it is revealed he has been separated from his mother.
* His examination quote for Volt Goats reveals that he once owned a goat.
* Some of his quotes imply that he worked as a chef. For example, his quote for examining hot Lava Spit, "A chef-cuisinier never burns his fingers.". A chef-cuisinier is the French term for chef. Other quotes mention his sous chefs and saucier.
* His quote for the Ukulele reveals that he either plays or enjoys lute music.
* Warly seems to have once worked on a ship, given his quote for the Glass Castle ("Reminds me of the ice sculptures in the ship's dining hall.").
* Warly's birthday is listed as July 25 in the Compendium. July 25, 2019 was the day Warly was added to DST.
