## Biography

### Early life

Colin was born alongside his brother Hunter in a blended Scottish-American family living in Miami, Florida. Colin grew up enjoying the nightlife and loved hanging out at the beach, calling it his happy place, unlike his brother Hunter, who was more focused on studying and getting homework done. Colin was street smart and as such, frequently settled disputes with his fists, which ends up getting him in trouble on numerous occasions, most notably in school, getting suspended multiple times. At the age of 12, his parents didn't come home one day, and they were revealed to be killed by thugs. Upon learning of this, Colin became extremely depressed and developed anxiety and other mental issues.

### Vigilante work

Vowing to avenge his parents' loss, Colin turned to the world of vigilantes to get revenge on those who killed his parents. At some point, he was told by a member of the Serpentine vigilante group that the thugs that killed Colin's parents were affiliated with the Dark Sons gang and that the thugs were named Tarek and Darren, respectively. Once he found out where the Dark Sons usually hang out, Colin stormed the area alongside his vigilante allies and opened fire on them, killing off multiple members of the gang, including Darren, and wounding Tarek.

Tarek was captured and held captive by the vigilante group and was personally tortured by Colin, scolding him for killing his parents and taunting him for thinking he'd just let him get away with it. Tarek then insulted Colin, calling him a rat and that the Dark Sons are going to kill Hunter next. Enraged by this, Colin kills Tarek and with the help of the vigilante group, burned his body. Colin was only 13 when all of this occurred.

### Aftermath

When Hunter found out about what Colin was up to in the past few days, Hunter scorned his brother for being such a "violent meathead". However, Colin told him that he had to get revenge and that it had to be done sooner or later. Hunter then called him a psycho and was going to tell the police what Colin did. Colin pleaded with Hunter not to tell them getting in trouble with the law was the last thing Colin wanted and the last thing his parents would want. Hunter reluctantly kept quiet about what happened, but only if Colin changed his ways.

At the age of 15, both Colin and Hunter were put under the care of a woman named Kathy after their aunt and uncle lost a custody battle. Kathy took great care of Colin and Hunter, and trained them both how to use firearms and melee weapons, despite Hunter finding them "useless". On Colin's 16th birthday, Colin received his first genuine firearm, which he used to kill off the remainder of the Dark Sons with the assistance of Kathy, including their leader, Ryan. However, Colin and Kathy almost got caught when a man stepped out of his residence, agitated by the noise outside. Kathy knocked him unconscious and put him back inside, prompting Colin to vacate the area.

### Kathy's arrest and Broken Arrow

Unfortunately, Kathy did not manage to get away with the killings and ended up being incarcerated. However, Colin gained popularity in his neighborhood for just his involvement alone, calling him a hero, marking the first time that Colin ever felt welcomed by his community. This caught the attention of local authorities, who decided not to detain Colin.

At the age of 18, Colin received a letter from a government official, telling him to meet with him at a US Air Force base. Initially believing this was a hoax, Colin burned the letter and went to sleep that night. However, it wasn't until soldiers arrived to his doorstep that he actually believed it. They escorted both Colin and Hunter inside of their vehicle and drove them to the airbase, where the official, Lucas Vaughn, was waiting. He briefed Colin and Hunter about a trip to Broken Arrow, which the brothers were chosen to travel there. Lucas stated that every year, two random recently turned 18 year olds are chosen to travel to Broken Arrow. Confused, Hunter questioned Lucas and asked him if it was legitimate, which Lucas confirmed.

Colin and Hunter entered a plane and were en route to Broken Arrow immediately. However, they ended up being caught in between the war between the US and Leviathan forces. The Leviathan forces misinterpreted Colin and Hunter's plane as a military plane and shot it down. Luckily, Colin and Hunter parachuted out of the plane before it crashed.
