Andrew Donnelly grew up in a number of orphanages in Aberdeen. There he was abused for a long time, but he began to fight back at 14 years and stabbed a supervisor. For this he received three years in juvenile detention. At 17 he was released, and went to live on the streets of Aberdeen. Two years later he got into an argument with another teen and was stabbed. When he awoke as an immortal, he only vaguely remembered the fight. Andrew thought nothing of it. Several months later he met Warren Cochrane, who told him about his Immortality.
