## Biography

### Childhood

Michael was born in Schuylerville, New York State, on September 7, 1980. He was named after his maternal grandfather Michael A. Carson. During his childhood, his mother had always told stories about his grandfather who disappeared 15 years ago. She also warned him never to go to the train tracks.

When he was around ten years old, some of his friends convinced him to go near the train tracks with them to go trainspotting. Despite his mother's warnings, Michael went anyway.

### Adult Years

###### Charlotte Carson

Michael cared dearly about his little sister and would do anything to protect her. He also motivated Charlotte when she had her flight lessons. Despite this, Michael and Charlotte's relationship isn't perfect, and they occasionally argue, though they always make up by the end.

Sadly, this is also how their last interaction played out. Michael was devastated to learn about his sister's death, knowing that he would never have the chance to apologize. Charlotte's death would motivate Michael to become a private investigator and eventually find out the person responsible for her murder.
