Maverick was thrown to the ground since his birth and knew the world as cruel and unforgivable. It was almost a sickening joke when he was gifted the amazing ability to control others with his voice, since it had been ignored so profusely in the past. Especially since he was gifted these powers so soon after meeting the one person who sparked what little hope remained within him.
