On the evening of March 3rd, 1982, a single mother gave birth to a baby boy who would remain nameless for a short period. The young Nephilim female had bedded a human boy months prier and knowing they had conceived another one of her kind scared her.. She was only 16 at the time, after all, and wasn't capable of caring for a child on her own. So, the decision to put her child up for adoption was decided.

He was known as the "quiet kid" in the adoption home because of his reluctance to speak to any of the other children as well as mumbling replies to the adults. Eventually, however, a couple had decided to adopt the young boy and a name was put to the face: Ivan Locke.

His adoptive father, Charles Locke, happened to be a fellow Nephilim and his wife was human and completely oblivious to the fact that he was of another species. The secret was a hard one to keep from the love of his life but eventually, she'd figure out what he and their new child were.

Ivan grew and matured throughout the years and around his sixteenth birthday, Charles had decided the younger Locke's training needed to begin. He taught him how to fight, how to use his abilities to his advantage and Ivan grew to be very fond of his father and looked up to him more than he did his mother.

The training continued on a daily basis while his mother was away but one day while his father taught him how to use sharp tools that a father shouldn't be teaching his young son, Ivan's mother came home early.

She took in the horrifying sight of her husband holding an axe to their sons neck and a scream escaped her lips, one that forced Charles to pull away from Ivan and drop his weapon. Self defense was something Ivan was good at and the fact that his dad was holding a weapon that could kill him up to his throat didn't affect him. His mom, however, figured she was walking in on an attempted murder. It was then that they noticed a handgun in her hand, one that was pointed at her husband as she reached out to grab Ivan's wrist and pull him behind her. He protested but she didn't listen.

"You monster!" His mother seethed at his father as her finger hovered over the trigger.

He watched in alarm as his father, the man who meant everything to him, backed away instead of try and defend himself. Before anything else could occur, Ivan ran.

He ran and ran until he couldn't possibly run anymore..

Eventually, he found shelter but then missing notices with his name and face started to fill the neighborhood which forced Ivan to continue running and moving from motel to motel with the little amount of cash he had. Before he knew it, years had passed and it seemed his mother had given up on finding him. By this time, he'd figured she was dead but what he wanted to know more than anything was where his adoptive father was. However, he wasn't going to risk anything in finding out. Instead, he traveled until he came across the city of Evermore in the beginning of 2015. To his surprise, the city was full of supernaturals alike.

Finally, somewhere he could fit in and stop running. Some might say he was stupid for not changing his name but it was the name his father had given him and the man had meant everything to him.

Ivan was finally able to settle into his new home and one morning as he went to sit on his balcony, a bolt of light in the sky caught his attention as it probably did every other citizen of the City Centre. The next thing that occurred was quick; a large comet landed in the middle of the city. He looked at it in alarm, wondering if it'd hurt anyone or taken apart an important piece of the city he'd come to love..

However, he wasn't able to let his curiosity build because an excruciating pain came from the thick scars he had on each shoulder blade. Ivan hurried inside and closed the balcony doors before falling to the ground on his knees, his eyes closed and his fists clenched. A swoosh of air was heard and when he opened his eyes, he felt something heavy on his shoulders.. He moved to the bathroom and as he looked in the mirror, what he saw was astonishing. Two white wings rested at either side of him and as he took in their beauty, a smile crossed his features. It'd be a challenge to control them and learn how to hide them but Ivan was the type of person who never gaze up.

In Evermore, he'd met the ambassador of the Nephilim faction, Cornelia and though their first meeting was a rocky one, he'd eventually earned her trust. He respected her like he'd respected his father and soon worked under her in the administration as one of the intelligence officers. To the day, he continues to keep her up to date on the other species just in case their intentions may hurt them. His loyalty remains with his ambassador and he doesn't take too lightly to other species coming after her or his fellow faction members.
