Ages 0 - 41 Life before the outbreak
Of the bits and pieces he could remember of his distant past, the most prominent is that of a constant state of hunger. He remembers he used to be a street urchin talented with his hands and quick on his feet. Daemon knew he had survived from picking pockets and fighting tooth and nail against the other kids on the street.
The next puzzle piece he has of his past was knowing how it felt like to be in a constant state of anxiety. He recalls having answered to different names. From “Arthur”, to “Gallahan”, to “Francis” and “Arnault”. The feeling of being beaten near to death was ingrained in his bones. And deep in his memory a voice always tells him it was “for him to know how to keep himself alive”.
The biggest chunk of his memories of the past was the face of love but not love’s name. He could recall the softness of a golden afternoon with love but not when it had happened. Daemon knew the touch of love, memorized its shape and feel against his hands and lips, but he couldn’t recall what had happened to love after their world shattered.
Ages 41 - 116 Contraction of the Virus
He recalls having gone through a harsh military training and having led people in the war against the infected. Daemon remembers having been bitten and then nothing after that.
What he couldn't remember though, was the slaughter and bloodbath that he had participated in. Starting with hunting humans with the rest of the mindless infected and ending with him seeking and murdering humans with a "familiar face".
Ages 116 - to present Life after the Virus to Present
Daemon had recalled his humanity fifteen years ago after seemingly having slaughtered a small unit of uniformed men. Conveniently for him, he soaked up all the information the military unit had on them and then began to plan infiltrating the Stronghold.
After he had successfully entered the Stronghold, he enlisted into the military and doggedly worked his way up. And with his mutation, it wasn’t too much of a challenge to be rid of those who had tried to block his path. Taking up residence in the most affluent district of the Stronghold, Daemon "played house" with an heiress and after she had "died of illness", inherited her properties. Now a decorated major and with the wealth, power and authority he wanted, Daemon turns his focus to find Love.
