it started with a woman named margret janssen and a man named john stelfox, a dutch and english couple married in antigua. John's business took him to south africa, where him, marthe and his first child, leo, settled in cape town for three years. then along came damon while they vacationed in iceland, deciding to move back to holland before they had anymore children. 

damon's childhood was loving, fun, just empty in terms of parental guidance. they had money, could buy anything they wanted, but his father and mother were never there. they had a swiss nanny, and she was their parent when their real ones were too busy on business trips. two more siblings came, noah and julia-lotte. 

leo and damon didn't get along, not at all. damon was crowned the favourite of his father, and julia-lotte was the favourite of their mother. leo was a violent control freak, and took it out on the only person he could get away with hurting. damon. he would bite his arm until he bled, pull on his hair until it came out in chunks and slam his head against walls until he almost passed out.

he started stealing from his parents too, especially when he was in high school. leo and damon went to the same school, and the abuse continued there too. it was affecting damon's schooling and personality, as he went from a very kind, caring person to being extremely quiet and withdrawn from the world. finally, the straw came and broke the camel's back. 

having been punched in the head for the last time, damon caught his brother by the throat with his hands, pinning him on the ground with every inch of him shaking with anger as he was essentially strangling him. "You are not going to ruin my life, my life is mine to ruin. not yours. if you touch me again, i will ing kill you." 

leo never even thought about hitting him again. Damon graduated with honours and moved back to the netherlands, getting a job as a magazine editor before moving again to join sweet tooth. 

as far as risky behaviour goes, he has it down like a native language. unregulated drugs? he'll take it. drowning potential? he'll give it a shot. alcohol poisoning? sounds like a saturday night. 

life means very little to him, and when it comes to it, he doesn't care about his own enough to care about someone else's.
