## Backstory

***\*This section is for only confirmed lore. Anything unconfirmed must go into the Theories section.\****

### Residence origin:

According to various quotes in-game from the cast, Gregor and the rest of the bunch came to the cabin from Ukraine. "*Bread and jam isn't much of a meal, but it's more than we had when we left Ukraine.*"

### Meeting Anatoly:

When they were kids, Gregor was chopping firewood outside the house, when Anatoly showed up with a butterfly net, filled with them. He introduced himself to Gregor and asked him if he wanted to hold one of the butterflies. Gregor had never held one before. Anatoly told him not to crush it between his 'large paws'. Gregor observed that Anatoly did have a miniature hands himself so he understood where that warning came from.

### Marmot story:

When Gregor was nine, he and his friend were playing in the woods. They were far from home, about an hour away. His friend found some baby marmots, probably only a few weeks old. He was so busy playing with them he didn't notice a boar mother and piglet behind him. The boar thought he was too close to it's child so it ended up goring him in the lung with one of her tusks. He was gasping for air as his lungs filled with blood and there was nothing Gregor could do to stop the bleeding. It took him an entire day to carry the body back to his friends house. He was so weak, he had to take breaks every few minutes. When he arrived at his friends house, it was completely pitch black out. His hands shook as he laid his friends body at the door, He was almost as cold as his friend. When his friends mother finally opened the door... Gregor will never forget that scream as long as he lives. Gregor never wanted to let anyone down with his weakness ever again. So he pushed himself to the breaking point as a teenager, getting stronger every week.

### Escaping Ukraine:

Gregor, Karin, Mariah, and Anatoly's village went mad from starvation after the rationing got extreme. Parents were sending their children to orphanages instead of starving at home. It was terrible. Eventually they decided that they needed to escape. So they stole supplies until they had enough for the journey. To keep their spirits up, Gregor described it as a 'vacation'. "*You don't normally face **death** during a vacation though...*"
