## Biography

### Before The Curse

#### Pitch Black Night

North spent most of his younger years before becoming the guardian of wonder as a bandit. When he became a guardian North took on operations creating Christmas to bring wonder to the children. He also kept a globe in his workshop showing how many children still believed.

When Pitch attacked, and The Man in the Moon chose Jack Frost as a new guardian, they had to try and keep the children’s belief in them alive despite Pitch’s attempts to destroy it. Even with most of the world losing their belief in the guardians, Jamie still believed in Jack Frost who managed to save all of them.

The curse took place 3 years after their encounter with Pitch. North had received an invited from Snow and her Prince but couldn’t attend due to an attack on his workshop but sent a special handmade toy for their future child. As his workshop resided in the Enchanted Forest when the curse hit, North was brought along with it and given a cursed life like everyone else in Storybrooke.

### Storybrooke Life

#### Cursed Life

When the curse hit North had been working in his workshop as it resided in a part of the Enchanted Kingdom and he too was brought to Storybrooke. Although he hadn’t attended the wedding of Snow and Charming, he heard about the Evil Queen’s curse through Tooth who had been in attendance.

The curse still affected him even though he was an immortal being and had thousands of years worth of memories, so it took longer for the curse to remove them leaving him in a coma for the first couple months of the curse. After he woke up Sergei went back to his cursed life that Regina’s curse had created for him.

In this new world he ran the year round Christmas store, making most of the directions and toys by hand just like he used to before.
