## Biography

Anderson/Abyss was born in London, England on February 4th, 1989 to Kathy and Thomas Anderson. Growing up, Abyss had an extremely rough childhood, not because of poverty or financial difficulties, but because of childhood trauma, both physically and verbally. This abuse mainly came from his father, who would regularly yell at him, berate him and even physically assault him to vent out his own frustrations and anger. At a very young age, Abyss became a very cold, dark and a mostly unemotional individual who saw the world as in his own words “a shitty place with shitty people.” As a child, he also had an interest in wearing and crafting his own personal masks, most of which he used to hide his face from the world. Despite his rough childhood at the hands of his father, young Abyss did manage to find some form of happiness and therapy in the form of two things; his loving mother, and in pro wrestling (WWE; then called WWF/World Wrestling Federation). Despite being a dark and cold individual as a little boy, Abyss’s mother, Kathy picked up on his secret love for professional wrestling and would frequently take him to multiple shows and events throughout The Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era as a child and teenager. Abyss fondly recalls going to plenty of WWF/WWE PPVs growing up such as Armageddon 2000, the Royal Rumble 2000 & 2001, WrestleMania 17, WrestleMania 18, WrestleMania 19, Survivor Series 2002, SummerSlam 2000, etc. At age 17, In 2008 despite the concerned expression from his mother and extremely negative reaction from his father, Abyss impregnated his high school sweetheart, Scarlett and eventually had a child together, Ben. Despite having a child at such a young age, Abyss worked hard and made sure his child would grow up in a safe environment and not have an abusive parent like he did growing up. In 2009, Anderson/Abyss eventually enlisted in the British Special Forces where he would meet **Captain Oliver Barrett**. Captain Barrett was strict and tough with Anderson/Abyss because he saw the hidden talent and potential he could have on the field.

## Service in the Special Forces

Because of his tough and cold demeanor towards the world and most people in general, he earned the nickname of “Abyss” due to most people seeing him as an endless, empty and emotionless soul. He also began wearing a personally crafted mask to hide his identity from others, regardless if they were an enemy or an ally. In 2012, at age 21, Abyss garnered enough service and experience to the point where he would eventually become a lieutenant commander in the British Special Forces, mainly serving and only taking orders from Captain Barrett and United States General Joseph Adams, after eventually meeting with him as well.

## Later years of Service; Encountering the CONDRA

After eventually serving as a lieutenant for quite some time, Abyss would later encounter the serpent/snake themed terrorist-cult paramilitary organization, CONDRA. Abyss formed a burning hatred towards the CONDRA due to their lack of morals and downright evil actions towards the world, particularly innocent people who did not have the skills and abilities to fight against them. For years, frequently alongside Captain Barrett, Abyss killed and assaulted numerous CONDRA soldiers and their operations against the rest of the world, mainly the United Kingdom and United States. Unknown to him and the Captain, Abyss was secretly being watched and studied by CONDRA General and Lieutenants Ivan and Markov Anton.

## Raising his son Ben, marrying Scarlett and Ben and Scarlett’s deaths at the hands of the CONDRA

In 2014, Abyss after being together with Scarlett for six years, eventually proposed to her, deciding that in spite of his own demeanor as a cold and dark individual, he could have a little more light in his life. Scarlett happily said yes and the two eventually became married, further bettering their relationship to each other. Before and after Abyss married Scarlett, whenever he wasn’t serving with the Special Forces, he would almost always spend time together with his family. Like his mother did with him and his love of professional wrestling, Abyss eventually picked up on his son’s love and fandom of Marvel Comics, mainly the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His son’s favorite superhero was Captain America, and almost all of his son’s clothes, much to Abyss’s slight annoyance, were usually themed around the Superhero, Captain America.

### Death of the Family

In 2018, with his ongoing career with the Special Forces going well, his relationship with his family was even better as well. Having personally requesting some time off to be with his family, Abyss secretly was planing a surprise trip/vacation to New York City so his son Ben could see the very much anticipated Avengers: Infinity War, and so Ben could feel the atmosphere of “being in the same location as the Avengers.” Ben loved it so much that he called Abyss and his wife the “greatest parents in the universe”, words which would stick with Abyss forever. After seeing Infinity War, Abyss had to return to his work with the special forces, so that meant, Scarlett and Ben would have to be flown back home. Arriving at LaGuardia Airport, Abyss bid farewell to his beloved wife and son, with Ben playfully punching him in the stomach and hugging him, saying “Dad, you might be the 2nd coolest old man along with Steve Rogers.” To which Abyss responded jokingly, that Ben loved Steve Rogers more than his own “old man” to which Ben replied “No, that’s not true Dad, the only person to surpass Steve Rogers is my awesome old man dad!” After hugging and kissing the two farewell, Abyss watched them board their plane. Unfortunately, this would be the last time Abyss saw his wife and son as the LaGuardia Airport would be under attack by the CONDRA, who were posing as American citizens. Due to Abyss being qualified for the job, he single handedly began fighting off the CONDRA, killing multiple enemies of the psychotic terrorist-cult. While fighting against the CONDRA inside of the airport, Abyss, much to his horror eventually heard and saw multiple airplanes being destroyed and blown out of the sky. He eventually locked eyes on the plane that contained Ben and Scarlett, helplessly watching as his wife, son and countless other innocents were killed in front of his very own eyes and there wasn’t anything he could do about it. Abyss eventually saw the the evil smile of Lieutenant Barkov Anton who was responsible for the deaths of his family and countless others. Unfortunately, Anton escaped from Abyss’s grasp. After his family’s death and funeral, Abyss swore vengeance upon General Ivan, Anton and the CONDRA and promised he would personally make sure that the CONDRA ceased to exist forever. Following these events, Abyss would become much more dark, colder, reclusive and distant from the rest of the world for the years that followed.
