He often wondered about his father and was excited about potentially meeting him someday. When Rock was seven, his mother contracted a mysterious disease and he tried his best to nurse her to health. As her illness worsened, Rock went to Geese Tower and met his father for the first time in his life. Though the boy pleaded for medical aid and told him that Marie desperately wanted to see him, Geese wanted nothing to do with the matter and sent him away. Marie died that same night, and Rock formed a deep grudge against his father ever since.

Rock grew up learning to follow in Geese's footsteps and was taught a number of his own personal attacks from Reppuken to Raging Storm, Rock was assured to be the next great SNK Boss Syndrome boss in the Fatal Fury universe had Terry Bogard not come and knocked Geese off of his own corporate building.

- Rock was born to the sister of Kain R. Heinlein, Marie, and after having the child who Geese himself deemed to be a pansy was killed by a Raging Storm. Rock grew up learning to follow in Geese's footsteps and was taught a number of his own personal attacks from Reppuken to Raging Storm, Rock was assured to be the next great SNK Boss Syndrome boss in the Fatal Fury universe had Terry Bogard not come and knocked Geese off of his own corporate building. After this, Terry screamed out "OKAY!" and threw his trademark hat off the building. Seeing the young Howard nearby, he threw him off the building in an effort to retrieve his hat. It was a life threatening experience for Rock, but something that he would grow to be used to as Terry would be an abusive father-figure to the boy. Rock would have died from the fall, but Superman swooped down and saved him, hurling him through a window and flying off to save someone that mattered...or play fetch with Krypto. Rock was alone now and as he would do so many more times in the future, he cried. After setting his hat on his head and humming his theme song to himself, Terry discovered the boy. He told him to come with him, and that he would be his protection from now on.
