History: Gifted from a young age, Heskan studied abroad. Heskan was a troubled youth. He spent his days as a hard laborer instead of attending school, and spent his evenings with numerous mobsters and gang members.

During his early adolescence, he took a sudden opportunity while working the docks and commandeered a vessel that was left unmanned.
