He was sent to a Catholic orphanage, where he was taken in by one of the priests there, Father Bruce. Bruce then introduced him to the secret organization Divinus Faustus. He was trained vigorously by Father Bruce. The leaders of Divinus Faustus, only known as The Trio, noticed his potential and decided to train him for him to become part of their ’Sinkiller’ program. He was trained along side childhood friend Mark Goldblum. He was given the nickname ‘Apathy’ and Mark was given the name ’Sanctus’. They were vigorously trained and then tortured by ‘Ravencroft’, which drove Mark insane. Hal survived the training and was granted a ‘Blessing’ by Divinus Faustus, who later gave him a new assignment.
Time on The Island
Meeting Brock Rumlow
After being dropped on an Island owned by Divinus Faustus via plane. He quickly came to realize that he wasn’t alone on the island as their were SHIELD agents on the island who were working on WMD’s. He is attacked by one of them He also figured out that the island didn’t even belong to Divinus Faustus, but to a group only known to him as ‘AIM’. He later ended up finding an old camp site, whereas he was attacked by a man in a skull mask. Hal turned out to be a skilled match for the man, as he nearly defeated him. The man defeated, but he didn’t kill, Hal. He instead introduced himself as Brock Rumlow, an agent of SHIELD who had been trapped on the island after his SHIELD team betrayed him and have been hunting him since then. He says that he needed help and he feels that God has sent him one. Hal says that he was sent by a group of people for training. Brock then exclaims that he saw a plane drop someone on the island. Brock then explains that the island belongs to a group called AIM and that SHIELD sent his STRIKE team to eliminate the AIM agents but his boss Georges Batroc betrayed him. He began to camp out on the island and, now that he had Hal, he could get his revenge on Batroc for his betrayal. Brock gives him tips on how to improve his fighting skills. Hal and Brock later infiltrate the base where Batroc has set his base of operations. They end up dismantling the operation and Brock, with assistance from Hal, kills Batroc and the two then flee.
Falling Out With Rumlow
Several months after being dropped on the island and killing Batroc. Brock and Hal grew to become good friends. They survived together and also trained together. Their friendship ended when Hal figured out Brock was on a payroll from Divinus Faustus to kill ‘bad people’ by bombing cities with the WMD’s that Batroc possessed. Enraged and feeling betrayed by this, he holds Brock at gunpoint with his own gun. Hal then forced him to get his things and then leave and to never try and find him. Brock tried to justify his actions as the two walked in the jungle. Hal wants to hear none of it. The two then see a plane crash, which they decide to check out. On the way there, however, Brock noticed armed men in the bushes and then tackled Hal to save him. Hal still pointed a gun at him and although Brock begged for forgiveness and his trust. Hal shoots him in the shoulder and left him for the armed men. Now enraged at his friend’s betrayal, he donned his skull mask and after dispatching some of the armed men, went in pursuit of Hal. Hal, meanwhile, fought his way to the plane crash site. When he got there however, Brock ambushed and managed to nearly beat him to the point of death. But Hal managed to distract him long enough to manage to use Brock’s gun to get fuel on him and then shooting the fuel, which burned him alive. Hal then managed to kick him off the damaged plane into the ocean. The plane then split in two and then fell in the ocean, which Hal managed to jump off in time. Thinking that his old friend was dead, he reeled and showed a hint of remorse before regaining his composure and leaving the area.
Later on, Brock wakes up in a hospital room and is greeted by a SHIELD official Alexander Pierce, who was impressed with his skills and techniques, asked if he could join his organization HYDRA. Brock at first refused but when Pierce offered to help him kill his old friend, he agreed. Pierce then told him after he recovered he can kill his first target. Steve Rogers
Meeting Frank Castle/Sinkiller Fight
Months after the fight with Brock, Hal continued to survive alone until he was walking in the forest and was then attacked by a man wearing a skull vest. At first believing he knows Brock, he attacks and, after a lengthy fight, managed to defeat the man. The man introduces himself as Frank Castle and, when asked if he knows Brock, denies it and states that he is after an international trafficking ring. He also goes by the name The Punisher. Hal at first, struggled to trust Castle after his previous encounter with Brock. But Castle proves that he is not a threat to him when he shows him an old factory where the gangsters are trafficking people.

But Hal escapes. He regrouped with Castle and the two escaped. Hal then explained to Castle about Divinus Faustus and Sinkiller and his old rival Patrick. Hal and Castle were later captured by Patrick as Sinkiller and brought to the factory, where they are held hostage by Solomon Graves, a rouge Divinus Faustus agent and his rouge group. He forced him to shoot Castle and then explained to him that he left Divinus Faustus due to the fact that he knows that even Sinkiller can be corrupted. Solomon tells Hal that The Trio, the leaders of Divinus Faustus, are fools to believe that they can have a ’Sinkiller’. Right before Solomon can kill him. Hal breaks free and knocked Solomon out. Hal then frees Castle and they fight all of the men. They end up fighting Patrick together, Hal mocks him by telling him he always used to beat him. Patrick gets angry and tires himself which then Hal uses to beat him and then, after an exchange of words, kills him. Castle and Hal manage to escape.
