## Biography

### Early Life

Logan, Blake, and Nathan Anderson were born to Ace and Rose Anderson. The fraternal triplets were abused by their mother throughout their childhood.

As the de facto leader of the triplets, Logan often stood up to protect his brothers from their mother's ire.

In high school, Logan got in trouble for vandalism, smoking pot, and trespassing. According to him, he did those things because they were "expected of [him]."

Grace and Logan meet in 10th grade, when she became his history tutor. They grew friendly and were close.  Grace's mother didn't like that Grace spent time with someone of "Logan's ilk," and threatened to ruin his Army plans if Grace didn't stop tutoring him. Grace put an end to their sessions as a way of protecting Logan.

At a football game, someone spilled their drink on Grace. Logan, who was watching from a few rows away, noticed, yelled at the clumsy boy, and led Grace to his car. He gave her napkins and an extra t-shirt, which she changed into. It was then Logan realized he had feelings for her. That was the last time they touched before he left.

### Career

At age 18, Logan joined the Army to escape his family home. When Logan left for the Army, he promised to write to Grace as soon as he arrived at basic training. She promised to write back. They briefly discussed starting a relationship and shared a kiss.  Logan wrote for months, but his letters were all returned to him. He eventually got the message that Grace wasn't interested, and he began to feel anger toward her.

He worked in the Army for ten years, and had done two tours in the Middle East. While in the Army, he learned close-quarters combat.

Before his father's death, Logan spoke with him once every few months.
