Brian Babbage was the eldest of three children, all of them potential heirs to their late father's very substantial fortune. Their father, either out of senility or just pure spite, changed his will constantly before his death, laying the ground for a very nasty legal battle between the three siblings, each of whom had enough to hire a battalion of lawyers. While Brian's younger brother Ricky and his sister Amanda eventually agreed to a settlement, Brian refused, believing that he was entitled to a much larger share. Eventually, he decided to kill his siblings so he could keep it all.
