Owen Winsor is one of the sons of Tiamat Amaranthe and Griffin Winsor, brother to Landon Winsor and Rosemary Winsor. The intrepid trio were born just outside Portland in relative peace and prosperity, enjoying visits from various family friends, aunts, and uncles. Their world was small, and comfortable. And, for the first few months, it could not have been better.

But good things rarely last – in the winter of 2020, Tiamat stole away at some time into the night with hardly a word. In the wake of the upheaval, Griffin took to the bottle, and, as their various aunties and uncles dwindled to chase down what best made sense, the trio were left to pick up the pieces and responsibilities better left to the unreliable adults around them. Desperately clinging to what sense of childish naivety Owen could to salvage his upbringing, he fell in line with Landon’s leadership as they explored their newfound (and oft misguided) independence. Stubborn and scrappy, they set out to make a name for themselves and take on opportunities otherwise best left untouched, and before long, were swept up beneath Portland’s underbelly and beneath the wing of a man named Cipher.

After several mishaps drawn out by the foolish notions of teenage hubris, conflict culminated in a fire and the death of the friendly neighbor, Simo. With precious little else to cling onto, the Winsor kids and a few companions fled their childhood home to the great unknown.
