Handel Cooper

Handel is the son of Emanuel Cooper and Peter Monahan, he was born as a result of an affair between them, Peter could get pregnant and that always confused Handel's head. When he was born, Handel was soon given over to Emanuel and had no further contact with Peter during that newborn period. Peter didn't want contact with Handel and he already had a new family. Handel would grow up feeling rejected.

## Personal life

### Toddler

Handel was raised in his father Emanuel's home in Oasis Springs, where he lived with his half-brother Alan Santos and stepfather Jacob Cooper. Emanuel was very busy but treated his son well, along with Alan who was not Emanuel's son, only Peter's. Despite not having a bad relationship with his father Emanuel nor with his stepfather and brother, Handel did not have a happy childhood, there are no remarkable and special moments.

Even as a toddler, Peter Monahan still visited Emanuel's house a few rare times, just to talk to Emanuel and tease Jacob, not to see Handel, whom he insisted on ignoring. Handel sometimes talk to Peter or ask him to eat, play or read a book, but Peter always respond with yelling and scolding and telling him to go away, even as he grew up, Handel kept reminding himself of that.

Still very young, Handel witnessed the death of his stepfather Jacob, after he was run over after Peter called him across the street, Handel did not see the scene itself, but he was in the house when it happened. Handel didn't have toys or a bed for him, he didn't get a penny from Peter, his father Emanuel wanted to invest money in scam schemes with the intention of getting rich on his own, which never happened.

### Childhood

During this period, Handel was a scout but gave up after some problems with his colleagues, at this time he became curious about his other father and started asking Emanuel about how he was born and who the other father was. When he accessed the internet, he searched his father's name on social networks, he saw the photos and what Peter's life was like, he realized that he had other brothers, Peter's children, such as Joseph Chies and Jaden Monahan, but Handel never understood why the other brothers lived well and happily with Peter and he didn't.

### Teenhood

As a teenager, he started attending high school where he hated to attend classes, he used to skip class and go do something else, at that time he had a lot of problems at home with his father Emanuel, who always scolded him for being rebellious and not going the school. But at this stage of his life, he stopped complaining about his other father's rejection, but still from time to time he checked Peter's posts on social media. Handel envied the lives of the other brothers and dreamed of living in that house and being loved.

#### Meeting his other father

During school, Handel met Nico Monahan, one of his half-brothers, he knew that Nico lived with Peter and started to get close to him, soon Nico invited him to visit the house, Handel took the opportunity to get a closer look and finally see the other parent up close. Handel believed that when he arrived at the house, Peter would not recognize him, however when he stepped into the house, Peter soon appeared making a mockery of him, showing that he knew who he was, Handel in turn began to insult and argue with Peter that also did the same against him, soon Handel was thrown out of the house. Nico was banned from interacting with Handel, just as the other brothers were told not to go near Handel.

Shortly after, Handel and Peter met at a gym in downtown San Myshuno, they argued a lot but managed to talk, Handel put everything out and listened to Peter, they didn't become friends but things were clarified and Peter said it was for him if you just walk away from him and his family. They are no longer enemies but they will never become friends.
