No one really knows who the Mother is only that she was in the buisness and got with some trailer trash then left the city quickly after her week of vacation . Being unable to provide for himself and his child the father gave travis away to the local street gang known as the " Demon Dogs". Growing up in the gang he learned the fine arts of the criminal underworld particularly taking a liking to theft of any kind. He quickly rose the ranks of his local street gang and gained respect in his local bourogh.
At about the age of six he earned the nickname " DirtyHands" as it was rumored he would take any job no matter the risk or moral ambiguity . He quickly honed his theft skills becoming a master at lockpicking hotwiring, pickpocketing, really if it had to do with theft he learned it. He also quickly learned parkour to navigate the rooftops of his city .
