Grian was kidnapped at five years old. When Sam took him he kept Grian on a chain leash and pushed the peg into the ground to keep him in one place, at least he did until he had to move him. Since he knew of Grian's powers he forced him to stay in a lion cub form for easy transport. Whenever he was moved, Grian slept in the carrier. It was the only sleep he was allowed to have. He was barely fed anything.

Xisuma was examining Grian's missing person's file when one of his cop friends walked up to him, "Xisuma, what're you doing?"
"Looking through my baby brother's case file. It's been three years. I refuse to think that he's dead. Watcher's don't just die of natural causes or starvation, or thirst. Most tend to die of broken hearts, those being the really young ones. I just know he's still out there."
"Xisuma, let up on the case. There's no evidence in there that we haven't gone over thirty times."
"There just has to be something we missed. I'm not letting my baby brother down."
"So this baby brother of yours, what's so special ab-"
Xisuma put his gun out on the desk as a warning.
"Okay, warning taken."
"Good. Now, let me get back to this."
As Xisuma continued looking through Grian's case, he noticed that there were tiny pieces of fur on one of the chains in the box and he immediately got an idea and took it to the boys in the lab to have it retested for DNA.
"Xisuma! We need you in interrogation room three." Xisuma's captain said, "Now."
He immediately walked over and saw Sam in the window then walked in, "Well. Isn't it Sam Gladiator. The dick who kidnapped my brother. Let's cut to the chase, where's my brother?"
"You must be 'Big Bro Sum Sum'." Sam chuckled in a mocking tone, "I won't say where he is, but I will say that he's still alive and you will not find him in the last place you searched."
"Tell me where he is and you'll only be charged with one life sentence."
Sam chuckled, "You think your bribery can help. It's cute. Now, you'll find him at the highest sun, in the lowest building on the lowest floor. Look for a wood box and you'll find him."
"He's in the south warehouse." Xisuma groaned, "Arrest him. I'm taking Ren and we're going to get my baby brother."
The moment Xisuma was about to leave, Sam spoke up once more, "Oh, he may not be your Grian anymore. So be aware that he's frail."
"Get him out of here before I shoot him."
"Enjoy your little cub."
At that comment Xisuma left, he grabbed Ren and the two traveled across town to the warehouse.
When they broke down the door, they both searched through every box and every crevasse to find Grian.
"Xisuma, I don't think he's here."
"Ren, there's one last box, and it has no nails keeping it shut."
