He never really made any friends, since they moved away as soon as they got to know him. His parents never payed any attention to Tony, for they were to focused on his sister, Bianca, and her talent in the visual arts. Bianca, however, was more than kind to Tony. During a 5th grade talent show, Tony discovered his passions. Singing, piano, and a boy his age named Chris. Chris was an excellent guitarist, and had an amazing voice. He was kind to Tony, and they hung out a lot. Chris opened up a whole world of music to Tony, and this changed his life. He discovered Elton John, and began to play an old piano that he found in a warehouse. He learned how to control his voice, even in the face of puberty. His life was good, until one day, the following year. Tony and his sister, Bianca, now 17, were heading home from school. They were attacked by a group of thugs, who kidnapped Bianca, and beat up Tony. Tony ran as fast as he could, all the way back home. He never saw his sister alive again, The autopsy came in three weeks later. Bianca had been raped, and then promptly killed. His parents were devastated. They mourned for months, leaving Tony to do all the house work. They eventually started fighting with one another. Two years passed, and Tony's life was in shambles. He constantly tried to keep his family supported, while his parents dropped into a state of drug abuse, and alcoholism. One day, Tony got in the cross fire in one of the fights. His father hit him across the face, and Tony lost it. He packed his belongings, and left in the dead of night. No note, nothing. He spent the next year in hiding, and living on scraps. He couldn't get a job at 14, so he had no money. He was on the edge of death, when a shady dealer came, and asked him if he wanted his life turned around. Tony payed the last of his money to buy a large disc, that wasn't compatible with any mechanism he had seen. He accidentally cut himself with the disc, and awakened his stand, Iron Maiden.
