## History

### Early Life

Gerald Toretto was born around 1822 in the Bay Colony of New England, Massachusetts. At the age of eighteen, he enlisted in the army and eventually rose to the role to rank of General of the army. At twenty, he inadvertently unlocked his dormant meta-gene, when in battle, granting him superhuman physical attributes, flight, a powerful healing factor giving him slowed aging and the ability to psychically and physically influence the weather.

At the age of twenty-three, he fathered his firstborn child, Selena, who inherited the meta-gene, granting her superhuman powers, just like her father. Two years after, he and his wife had their twin boys, Cyrus and Kaden Toretto, both of whom inherited the meta-gene and developed powers as they got older.

Six years after he discovered his powers, Gerald discovered he possessed the unique rare ability of Invention Intuition, which allowed him to be able to invent scientific technological objects capable of performing extraordinary otherworldly feats, which he primarily used to create advanced technology, known as meta-tech.
