From a distance one could say Aidan had an average life growing up. A mother and a father, whom loved him very much. He lived in a small town in Ireland and live a very average life. He went to an average school and had average friends. From a distance one could say his life was perfect...
In reality his life had been far from average at birth. His father had a wandering snake of sorts, it got him into all kinds of trouble, and into one loveless marriage. No sooner had this man married his first wife, he went out looking for his next good lay. Yeah, when his mother met his father, it was a long complicated train wreck of a relationship. They had a son, then he up and split. Oddly enough he went back to his wife and other son. When he had a particularly painful itch that needed scratching, Kyle Evans returned to his busy but still beautiful mistress. A couple of weeks later she discovered Kyle had blessed or damned her with another son. This didn't slow down her drinking or her drug use.
Which scared the hell out of good old Mr. Evans. Scared him straight into taking his son away from his drunk and drugged whore. Or so he put it so kindly... He took his third and youngest son, to a place he felt his child would be safe. A place his biological mother could never touch him... He left his son with another mistress, whom raised the boy as her own and gave him a new name, Aidan. She had been pregnant with Kyle's fourth child but lost the baby right around the time Aidan was born.
No one ever questioned Aidan's mother, she looked so much like him after all. That may have had to do with the fact the women Kyle slept with looked so similar. Which worked out well for Kyle in the short run. But when Aidan's adoptive mother demanded to be more than a mistress and started hearing wedding bells...things got ugly. She threatened to tell Aidan just what his father had done...
...that was the end of her. Aidan was ten when he came home from school one day and found his mother dead. The police said she had been the victim of a robbery gone wrong. The boy had no idea his father had paid for the hit. He also had no idea why he was shipped away to a boarding school in Dublin. To add insult to injury his father severed any real bond they had. He only called or showed up to yell at him, when the school gave him a ring for Aidan's behavior.
He spent the next two years spiraling out of control and down a rather dark rabbit hole. In spite of being so young; he knocked up a classmate, maintained a constant state of intoxication, and developed an unhealthy love of pain. These things landed him in a mental institution in New York. The irony? Aidan met his half brother Rhys, through some startling information about their father. He discovered Rikki, the boy he hated, and whom his brother loved to no end, was also a half brother. The funny thing there was, the doctor who ordered the DNA test, left out the part about them sharing the same mother.
Aidan had been there for almost a year, his condition worsened by the day and he became rather suicidal. So his brother Rhys broke them out of the institution and whisked him off to Seattle. His other brother followed him to the rainy city and his half brother followed him. Rikki had no luck in finding Rhys or Aidan, but Nikki had no trouble. In fact he approached the teen on a street corner and attempted to drag him away from his lifestyle choice.
The fiery boy naturally rebelled and bolted, but was caught by Rhys. Things began to spiral out of control from there. Rhys disowned Aidan and Nikki told the boy to get his act together. Of course it wasn't his fault Rhys disowned him, it was Nikki's fault. So being the sober and bright boy he was, Aidan dropped by Nikki's house.... He brought several cans of spray paint, a crow bar, a sledge hammer, and a bug bomb. Aidan destroyed a fair portion of the man's house and was caught.
Nikki dragged the boy back to his brother, whom put him under house arrest. Aidan sported a anklet for a couple of hours before sobering up. He resumed his angry tune towards Nikki and snuck out. This time he went to Nikki's warehouse, where he broke in and set fire. Unfortunately for the boy the sprinklers went on and the doors locked. He was trapped inside like some waterlogged rat. So he climbed a stack of boxes and waited for a way out to present itself. Too bad that way out never came, instead Nikki showed up.
The angered man tore down the stack of boxes Aidan was perched on. He was ready to beat the boy into a bloody pulp. When a box broke open and spilled a few files he hadn't seen before. They had belonged to Nikki and Rikki's mother... There were four birth certificates, one for Nikki, one for Rikki, one for a Luca, and another for a boy named Romeo. What caught Nikki's eye was the birth date on Romeo's certificate, it corresponded with Aidan's birth date... The man was able to couple that information, with the knowledge of what a bastard Aidan's father was. Aidan not only received a right and fine proper beating from Nikki but another half brother. Aaaand some not so wonderful news about Rikki being his full blooded brother.
