Background
Michael was born and raised in the suburbs of Knight City, in an otherwise unremarkable family: two parents, and a younger sister. He spent much of his time with his lifelong friend, Raphael D'Angelo, with whom he intended to join the Army after high school. However, in his sophomore year, Rafe's eyes began to mutate, resulting in vision problems that ultimately disqualified him from military service—Rafe insisted Michael go on without him. Michael spent four years in the Army, including a combat tour in West-Asia. He craved the (occasional) thrill of field operations, but the drudgery and bureaucracy that went with it wore him down, enough that he did not re-enlist when his term-of-service ended. Instead, knowing of the rising crime rates back home, he returned to Knight City to become a policeman—chasing down bad-guys might calm his craving for action, while helping make his old neighborhood safer.
