On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 16 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began.
Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.
He got Seven of them.
Number One: Marcus
Number Two: Ben
Number Three: Fei
Number Four: Alphonso
Number Five: Solane
Number Six: Jayme
Number Seven: Christopher

"'Home'? This isn't your home," Reginald replied.
"What are you talking about? This is the Umbrella Academy."
"Wrong again. This is the Sparrow Academy."
Sparrow what?
Riley and the others were equally confused when footsteps approached.
A group of people appeared on the balcony, and Ben stopped in front of them.
"Dad, who the hell are these assholes?"
"Shit."
"Ben," Luther murmured.
"Is that really you?", Klaus asked.
"And who are the weirdos on the balcony?", Diego wanted to know.
"They're the Sparrows. My children," Reginald explained.
The small shelf next to Rhea shook itself, like there was an earthquake, but there wasn't.
The girl looked at the others and realized she was the only one who noticed.
"I'm sorry. What do you mean, your children?", Five asked Reginald. "That's not possible, old man."
"Of course it is! I think I'd know, wouldn't I?"
"Everybody else can see Ben, right?" Klaus asked.
"I see him, too," Rhea said, giving Ben a suspicious look.
"They call themselves the Umbrella Academy, a group of scheming, perfidious malcontents who accosted me in the fall of 1963 when I was away on business in Dallas. Be warned, they claim to be my spawn," Reginald continued.
"Claim?", Allison repeated. "Look, Five, Riley, what the hell is going on?"
"I don't know yet, but it's concerning," said Five and Riley just shook his head.
"Is he telling the truth?", asked Marcus.
"Not the part about us being perfidious–", Vanya replied.
"No, we're amateur-fidious, at best."
"But we are his children. This is our house."
"Yeah, yeah. We, uh– We grew up here."
"Yeah, we grew up here," Alphonso mocked Luther.
"Really? We're mocking each other now. How old are you?", Rhea said, rolling her eyes.
"And how old are you, huh? Two?"
"I'm ten, you moron."
"I kind of think we would have noticed you," Sloane said to Luther.
She ignored her brother, who was arguing with a ten-year-old.
Luther, in turn, only just noticed Sloane and smiled at her: "Hi. I'm Luther."
"Okay. None of you belong here," Allison chimed in, standing next to Vanya.
"Allison," Riley said. "I don't think it's that simple."
