I headcanon that he doesn't really know his family and was sort of "born into" the human experimentation. It might have been pointed out to him at some point and time, but he lacks a normal understanding of family units. He was also a withdrawn and relatively compliant child who kind of made his way towards anger. Uhh for Aather I've headcanoned him actually having gone to Hell (it was his first memory!) and that strongly contributed to him moving towards hating everything.

Uhh. I headcanon him as being strongly delusional and also legitimately having a deep schism with reality :|a I have a lot of headcanon about his headspace and how it relates to being an illusionist and his position in the world, etc.

WILL VAN EVER SHAVE THE FACIAL HAIR!!
