Two sophisticated entrepreneurs married in California and shortly moved to Honolulu, due to the natural disasters they could not endure. Because of this, they began an insurance company together to provide protection from natural catastrophes. No Sweat insurance had become a successful institution across the pacific, including the island of Apollo near Hawaii. After a few thriving years, the couple were expecting a child to pursue the business and for their kids to as well in the far future. But after a month of the pleasant news, did both the soon-to-be-parents begin to experience unexplainable, vivid dreams featuring a skeletal figure. It was brushed off as peculiar dreams to not discuss, but soon this spirit arrived as hallucinations as well for both of them. It went by the name of Oro, who informed the couple about a curse their child carries. In the father's bloodline, every century a son is born with the spell Oro had begun when he wished to turn everything he touched into gold, for he was the original King Midas of Phrygia. Sacrificing his right eye, he was then gifted with something that became dangerous as it gradually shaped him into a monster of greed and superiority. Being then a part of the afterlife for eternity, he witnessed the same cruel path be reborn each century until finally concluding that the new carrier should simply be killed in order for it to end for good. This was believed as the only solution to the horrible hex and the couple refused to comply as they were not murdering their son. Therefore, a better solution was developed between them.
Vincent Sideris was born and raised like any child in the beginning. Genuinely loved and cared for, especially by his mother. The most unordinary thing in his early life however, was that Vincent was to be never allowed outside. His parents thought that keeping him pure and secured from the world could keep him from becoming the monster Oro warned them about. He was homeschooled and taught other languages, in which was Italian, then Greek as he grew older. The lack of freely roaming the outside world was putting a mental strain on the child, for he had been living like a prisoner in his home. In addition, he was locked inside his room for hours if he ever misbehaved, further subtracting his mental well-being. Vincent's mother grew concerned for all of it, but her husband believed it was for the best, so conflict would erupt. Their fighting distanced the two, resulting in a divorce when it came to the conclusion they will never come to an agreement on how to raise their son properly. For reasons unclear, the mother had left Vincent at the hands of his father for further torment..
The now single parent was conflicted with what to do with his son, whether to keep him and continue the treatment all for the sake of Vincent pursuing their company, or to give him away. The father projected his frustrations onto the boy and the tortures of being locked in his room increased. His son turned into a hideous reminder of the father's ex-wife and hated him for that, physically hurting him whenever he got the chance. He also despised Vincent for being the seed to all that had happened and that he had not been born a normal child. The young boy lived as a prisoner of pain and apprehension; stripped of living needs and unable to see the light of day. One of the few things that calmed him was drawings that he would create during those hours in his room, obtaining an artistic passion. Finally, his father had decided to commit what he originally avoided; murdering his own son by his thirteenth birthday. When it had been fully decided, it had been overheard by Vincent once the father discussed it among his just as ruthless friends. From there, young Sideris started to invent a detailed plan to make an escape, slowly taking in any crucial information during the next couple months.
On his birthday, he discovered his father had hidden a dagger in one of the drawers and was ready to put his propositions into action. After gathering sufficient supplies and a few hundred dollars, he waited until midnight with patience. When it had approximately struck twelve, he slipped into his father's bedroom and hesitantly removed the dagger from the drawer. The child clutched the weapon and stabbed his parent in the throat eleven times, his father then shortly dying from the damage and blood loss.
