#Biography

As a child, whenever he watched his favourite shows, Garou always thought it was unfair that the popular would always win, and the hated would lose. Because of these beliefs, he became ostracized by his classmates, bullied relentlessly and only reinforcing the perceived unfairness, eventually spurring him on to deny the standpoints of good and evil, and change this unfair scenario.
