Early Life

Sam was born to young parents, who eventually separated. His father remarried, while his mother had a series of long term boyfriends. He has a younger brother and younger step-sister (on his father's side). His youth was spent running with the "wrong crowd" and getting into trouble, which contributed to family tension—he was no stranger to the inside of a police car or station.

Criminal Life

After high-school, Sam continued to run with the criminal element.

They argued with Sam over the phone, but when [Fiancée] tried to throw them out, a struggle broke out that resulted in her being shot, while Sam could do nothing but listen to her cries. Neither she nor the baby survived. The police made a mess of the investigation, even pointing to Sam as a suspect for a time. He slipped into depression, drugs, alcohol, bad stuff…hit rock bottom. Grief-stricken and furious, and high on some new street drug, Sam went to the gang's hideout in a murderous rage, and manifesting his powers, slaughtered them all, to the man.
