## Biography

### Early life

Hallow was born on the 13th of June. While he was treated well by his mother and older brother, he had never gotten along well with other children his age, and his father was not known for being the kindest to him. His vampirism had been kept a secret from him, in an attempt to keep him safe.

His first pokemon, a Dratini named Zi, was a gift from his older brother.

When he was around 13, he was involved in a serious car crash which left himself and his mother in hospital for quite some time, although unlike his mother who eventually succumbed to her injuries, he had survived.

Sometime after his discharge from hospital, he faked his own kidnapping and murder, and ran away from home. This was due to his distaste towards his father, and not wanting to continue living with him. He had brought few things with him, most notably Zi and an old photo of him with his family.

### Life away from home

After abandoning his previous life, Hallow spent life hiding from humanity, receiving all his food from stealing, whether it be from shops and cafes or people's own homes. Looking to change his appearance, he had cut his own hair using a broken piece of glass and dyed it with juice from crushed berries.

During this time, he had met Claw, a Sneasel who had once been a star in Pokémon contests. However, after the disappearance of his previous trainer, Claw had now ran away from his home as well, and now had a strong hatred towards humans. While at first he disliked Hallow, after some time he decided to give him a chance, as the more time he spent around him, the more he found it hard to believe he was human.

Some time after, Hallow had come across a weakened Shuppet, which he had later discovered to be an escapee from a breeding farm. Immediately harboring resentment for the cruel people running this farm, he began to plot their destruction.

Once he had completed the plan he had made, Hallow got to work. Every few days he would steal any flammable object he could find from nearby houses, and would slowly free Shuppets from their cramped sheds while replacing them with stolen clothes. Once all the Shuppets were freed, he completed the last stage of his plan- burning the entire farm down. He also discarded the old photo during it. After the event, three of the shuppets joined him on his journey, a shiny, albino and melan, which he later named Cyanide, Antivenom and Strychnine.

### Time in Team Prism

Hallow joined the team some time after the farm incident. He had started off as a grunt, and worked for Admin Minty, although he was little-remembered among mints other grunts due to his number, 13, not having the number 7 in it. Despite this, he remained loyal.

During his time as a grunt, in hopes that it would make him valuable to the team, Hallow began to practice trap making, and befriended a group of Joltik to help in it. However, this hobby proved to rarely be of help.

During his time as a member, he quickly ascended to a higher rank of Grunt, and, eventually, Admin.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Hallow's mother

Hallow loved his mother, but now has difficulty even remembering simple details about her. Hallow had never told her about the mistreatment he had received at the hands of his father.

#### Hallow's father

Hallow's father had very little love for him. At best Hallow would be ignored, and at worst his father would be cruel to him, doing things such as locking him out of the house in the burning sunlight for simple mistakes. It was due to this that after the loss of his mother, Hallow ran away from home instead of staying and continuing to suffer from this torment.

#### Vladimir Eremis

During his childhood, Hallow was very close to Vladimir. Occasionally Hallow would spend a lot of time with him, although sometimes Vladimir would consider him a pest. Vladimir was the one to give Hallow his first pokemon, and he still sometimes keeps in touch with him now.

#### Theodore Eremis

Hallow was very young when his grandfather passed, and therefore has few feelings towards him.

#### Prism Grunt 6

While Hallow was unaware of this due to 6's penchant for disguising themselves, 6 is Hallow's grandfather's adopted child, and has known him since he was a baby. Hallow doesn't quite understand 6, but trusts them enough to have assigned them as one of his second-in-commands. He is unsure of what 6 is doing now, but wishes them well.

#### Prism Grunt 717

As 717 is 6's partner, that means he is Hallow's uncle. 717 was the person to teach Hallow to ride a bicycle, although it was out of spite since he didn't want Hallow's father to teach him for unexplained reasons. After 6 vanished, Hallow gave 717 their role.

#### Luna Eremis

Hallow likes Luna, and has visited her home in Galar a few times.

#### Lenore Eremis

Hallow dislikes his great grandmother, although he's impressed by her ability to perform necromancy.

### Romance

#### Edward

While their first impressions of each other weren't particularly good, over time Hallow had eventually become friends with Edward, and since had begun a romantic relationship with him. However, he has doubts that Edward will ever want to marry him, and thinks they will just remain boyfriends, although he isn't too bothered by it. He cares deeply for Edward, and is often hesitant to leave his side.

#### Jeremy Teika

Jeremy Teika, then known as Prism Grunt 18, worked under Admin Hallow before eventually the two started a romantic relationship. After a few months, the relationship fell through. Soon thereafter, Admin Hallow met Edward, while Jeremy left to travel as a solitary Trainer.

### Friends

#### Prism Grunt 3

3 was previously a very close friend of Hallow's, and while they have somewhat drifted apart, they do remain friends. 3 is also one of Hallow's second-in-commands.

#### Prism Grunt 19

19 was also one of Hallow's second-in-commands. The two had a falling out upon the team's discovery that 19 was the son of Lawrence III, but now they are on good terms. Hallow occasionally borrows money from 19, although he rarely gives it back.

#### Prism Grunt 8

Hallow is close with Mia, and sees it as his responsibility to look after her. He is very protective of her, and most likely sees her as a younger sister.

#### Admin Minty

During Hallow's time as a grunt, Minty was the admin he worked for. While he considers mint a friend, and has respect for mint, he doesn't see their relationship as being a particularly close one.

#### Admin Neffy

Hallow is good friends with Neffy, and Neffy had helped him learn Unovan. Hallow often targets Neffy for pranks, such as hiding printed off photos of manaphy around the Alola base for Neffy to find, but he means him no harm. Neffy often fights back against the photos by hiding photos of necrozma for Hallow to find.

#### Admin Merci

Hallow is also good friends with Merci, and the two have helped each other repeatedly. Hallow also thinks absols, the species that Merci is, are very cool, and thinks Merci is cool as well as a result, but wouldn't train one, as he thinks it would be awkward because of his relationship with Merci. During the fake Merci incident, Hallow felt betrayed, but couldn't help but feel he was responsible in part for it.

## Pokémon

### On team

#### Claw (Weavile)

Claw is Hallow's partner Pokémon. He is able to read and write, and uses those to communicate with things which aren't other Pokémon. He loves rap music, and has a dislike towards humans.

#### Zi (Dragonair)

Zi was a prize Pokemon from the Goldenrod City Casino, and Hallow's first Pokémon. She is somewhat of a mother figure to the rest of Hallow's team, acting as a voice of reason. She was originally nicknamed Lilith.

#### Cyanide (Banette)

Cyanide is a shiny Pokémon who Hallow stole from the Shuppet breeding farm he burnt down. Like his siblings, Cyanide is mischievous, and enjoys causing chaos. He's also talented at beatboxing.

#### Twist (Spiritomb)

Twist is a mysterious Pokémon who is able to do things others of his species are incapable of, such as teleportation and mimicking human speech. Strangely enough, it appears to be incomplete, missing souls from the 500 usually present in other Spiritomb.

#### Duchess (Salazzle)

A Pokémon which is known to be highly commanding towards Hallow's other Pokémon, even if they don't recognize any authority in her. She is often milked for extra venom, which is kept in bottles in a cupboard in the base laundry. She is named after Vladimir's Salandit, Duke.

#### Grendel (Galarian Yamask)

A Pokémon Hallow caught in Galar, and has since been training. He speaks old Galarian, but will change to speak in Shakespearean Unovan if asked to, even though he doesn't enjoy it. He often tells stories to those who will listen, although whether these stories are true are unknown. He is named after the monster Grendel from the stories of Beowulf.

### Other

#### Peter (Galvantula)

Peter is the leader of Hallow's trap-making Joltiks, and was formerly part of his team. He is named after the Marvel Comics character Peter Parker.

Joltiks used for making traps. Some are occasionally kept hidden under Hallow's hat. Known names: Miles, Gwen, Cindy, Ben and Penny.

#### Sneasy (Sneasel)

A shiny Pokémon Claw befriended in Galar, and insisted to be brought with them. They have no known gender, as their ear is shorter than a male Sneasel's, but longer than a female's.

#### Muffin (Cinccino)

A Pokémon Hallow came into possession of after her original trainer's death. She acts as a maid to the base.

#### Antivenom and Strychnine (Banettes)

Cyanide's siblings, an albino (Antivenom) and a melan (Strychnine). They often hide from others, but can be called through a code Hallow had taught them. They are very similar to Cyanide in terms of personality.

## Trivia

* "Hallow" is a shortened version of "Halloween", and "Bâtârd" is "Bastard" in French, meaning a child born out of wedlock. While Hallow was born from married parents, it could also show his rocky relationship with his father, as in ancient Wales, being a bastard child simply meant that the child was unrecognized by their father.
* Hallow's favourite foods are steak, strawberry-flavoured chocolate and meat-lovers pizza.
* As he ran away from school at 13, he has far below average intelligence for his age. He is unbothered by this.
* His favourite TV show is Hellsing.
* Despite owning a riding crop, and it being shown in reference art for him, he has never been shown using it in canon since he has had no reason to.
* He is afraid of several bug pokemon, most notably Skorupi and Drapion.
* His hair is meant to resemble horns.
* Hallow's associated item is his riding crop.
