Backstory
When Kiyoshi was 6 years old he, and 60 other Japanese school children, were kidnapped and chimerized by the international criminal organization The Syndicate. Less than half of the children survived, successfully chimerized. Like all of the Syndicates chimeras they were sent to one of three places. The ugly ones were sent to fighting rings to be gambled on. Some were kept to be direct servants of the Syndicate. The pretty ones, like Kiyoshi, were sold or rented out as ‘exotic pets’ and sex slaves. Eventually Kiyoshi and Nana found themselves in the United States.
One day, their current handler was beating Nana, brutally and sadistically attempting to cause a miscarriage. Kiyoshi, desperate to protect her but at the same time desperate to run and hide, awakened to mutant powers. He managed to kill the handler and teleport away with Nana. It wasn’t long before the two boys, Aaron and Reese, from the small thief group ‘The Phantoms’ came across the two chimeras and convinced their leader ‘The Phantom Mother’ to take them in.
With his powers and desire to not be thrown away, Kiyoshi became an invaluable addition to the team of thieves, generating enough money to allow Nana and her newborn daughter to ‘live for free’ in the Phantom household.
Until he was caught and offered a place at Ravenhold Academy by the famous Raven himself.
