### Backstory

Terry grew up in the suburbs with his family. His family was extremely poor, with his mom being stay-at-home to take care of Terry's 5 other siblings and his father being a delivery man for a nearby bakery. Being the eldest son, Terry often got the short-end of the stick when it came to food/other necessities. Terry grew up with little friends at school, because all of the kids would bully him for not having the newest clothes. That's why Terry was overjoyed when the neighborhood boys invited him to play a game of baseball. Terry accepted the invitation, launching his baseball career.

Terry spent every hour outside of school with his friends playing baseball. When everyone else was busy, he'd practice by himself. When Terry was in his teenage years, he caught the eye of a local baseball team's couch. The couch invited Terry to play with the team. Terry was a bit intimidated, since this was the first official team he'd ever played for. Terry accepted and quickly became the team's star.

When Terry reached adulthood, his father passed away. This sent Terry into a deep depression. He began to become more aggressive and less cooperative with his teammates. This caused him to get kicked off of his team. This sent him into a spiral. He became a regular at the town's local bars and quickly became an alcoholic. One day, during a specifically bad drunken meltdown, Terry found his way to his old coach's house. Terry and the coach got into an argument, leading to Terry strangling, and ultimately killing, the coach.

Terry had managed to slip away from the crime scene undetected. He was never caught, and the murder was thought to be a break-in gone bad. Terry ended up joining another baseball team in a different state. He quickly turned back into his normal self, quitting alcohol and leaving his depression in the dust. This didn't change his attitude and aggressive behavior though; he still managed to get into arguments with his teammates and coach on the daily.

One night, after a travel game, Terry had managed to get into a harsh fight with one of his teammates. This fight brought them to the alley next to their hotel. The altercation quickly became physical, with Terry beating the shit out of his teammate. After the fight, the teammate retreated back inside the hotel, leaving Terry alone in the alleyway. While standing alone, Terry's killer, Raymond Gabriel, snuck up behind Terry, wielding his baseball bat. Terry had only managed to turn around and ask what Raymond was doing when Terry was struck down by Raymond, head smashed into pieces. He was left there to bleed out, later found the next morning by his coach.

When he arrived in Hell, Terry spent a few years in the Pride ring. An flyer looking for a new P.E. teacher at Blackwell caught his attention, leading him to apply and get the job. When he first encountered Raymond in Blackwell, he refused to speak to him and even tried to leave, but was stopped by the principal. Terry still feels anxious around Raymond, but has learned to mask it in order for the students to not get concerned.
