## Pre-Mesa

Clancy Aerefu is a well intentioned, kindly mannered man. But why is he so kind? Well if you ask him he'll just say its common decency. Clancy Grew up mostly in the outskirts of Minneapolis in a two story Maisonette apartment, with his fathers "workshop and repair" store on ground floor and living quarters above. Clancy's father Mason Holland wasn't around for the first 6 years of his life, being incarcerated for illegal arms trafficking.

But Holland was out on parole, now nobody knew what kind of father he would be to young Clancy. The answer was a neglectful and abrasive one, But that was only through ages 6-11; When Clancy was old enough to understand how to use tools (basic or not) Holland put him hard to work. Clancy only minded a little not having a say in the matter.

Clancy liked fixing and making things, especially machines. Which made his father upset, wanting nothing more then to brake this boys spirits. Clancy befriended many of the usual clients and rarely that smile faded, at 13 Clancy's mother put a gun in Clancy's hands and taught him how to use it (for hunting), Clancy's grandfather who was more of a father figure to Clancy was appose to the idea.

At 16 Clancy had his bar mitzvah ceremony thrown together by his mothers side of the family. But the celebration was cut shortly after the ceremony by Mason, who drunkenly stumbled in yelling about how this Judaism stuff was all bullshit and kicked everyone but Clancy. and proceeded to force Clancy to drink more alcohol then a grown man should, Clancy hated the taste of alcohol. And when Clancy threw up, Mason called him a "pussy" and a "disappointment". His mother and grandfather rushed him to the E.R. soon after and he had to get his stomach pumped.

At 17 Clancy met his now wife, Louise Marigold

At 18 Clancy witnessed his father throw his grandfather down their stairs whilst in a savage argument about family values. Clancy being bigger and stronger than Mason, instinctively grabbed his father by his shoulder and hit him once, so hard you could hear the sound of ribs cracking. Both Clancy's father and grandfather fully recovered.

At 19 Clancy asked Louise to marry him, she accepted.

At 20 Clancy's wedding was trashed by his father who was upset at the fact that he wasn't invited and that it was a "Jewish" wedding, despite only featuring two Hebrew traditions.

At 22 Clancy's daughter was born.

At 32 Clancy was diagnosed with brain cancer, and started seeking better employment.
