Born into a small family with his twin brother Chris, Cian was raised with little regard to morals. From petty thievery to straight out murder, the pair's lives were amongst the lowest of the low. Living a life of relative solitude, rumours had always spread to the nearby villages of the family having strange and ungodly practices such as cannibalism. Despite these claims, nothing was ever proven or even looked in to as townsfolk did as much as they could to avoid contact with the abnormal family.
After a violent storm flooded the surrounding areas and the nearby river broke it's banks, pouring into a graveyard and unearthing the graves of villagefolk, myth became reality as it was discovered most of the coffins were in fact empty, the family having had stolen bodies from newly dug graves. In the uproar, the family was driven from their home and sent into hiding within the wilderness of the dense forests. Exposure soon caught up and Cian's parents perished, leaving him alone with his twin brother in search of a new home.
