Danny Cimoli was born in 1969, and raised by an Italian mother in Paris. He was an amateur magician and wanted to be in the big time. His mother, Lina Cimoli, who considered Danny's equipment toys, tried to help him get a job. After he blew off a job interview, she became frustrated with him and threw his props out the window into the street. When he went out to get his things, a truck hit him and killed him. A few minutes later, he revived as an Immortal.
