Galen grew up on a farm outside of Boston. His father raised him and he never knew his mother. Galen always sensed something was different about his father, who was physically slim, but had sense of strength about him. Galen learned why around age 18, when his father woke him up in the middle of the night. Galen was given his backpack and was told that he had to go. His father stared at him one last time, smiled, and the world went black for Galen.

Galen awoke inside a furnished bedroom. In the chair next to the bed was his uncle Mika. His uncle explained that Galen was the last of a long line of warlocks. Every male in his family has been a warlock, including Galen's father and Uncle Mika. Then, Uncle Mika revealed that Galen's father had been murdered by an assassin who hunts down sorcerers.  several texts containing spells and incantations were Inside Galen's backpack.

Galen lived with his uncle on the island of Manhattan, where Galen attended ESU, as a cryptology major. When not studying codes, Galen studied magic. However, Galen's training as a scientist prevented him from grasping the more abstract concepts of the arcane. Seeing himself as a failure, Galen almost gave up. But, his uncle Mika explained to him that the magic came to each warlock differently, playing on there strengths. Galen's father mentally pictured the magic to get it to work, while Mika sings his spells. From then on, Galen began to see the magic as a code to be broken. He scribed his spells on vellum and could cast them by speaking the spell's key. Galen has been steadily increasing in mastery and power, but from time to time, still messes up.

Furthermore, Galen has developed the ability to manifest "soul-armor," an ability also passed down through his family line.  The soul-armor is directly linked to a warlock's life-force and will drain strength from the wearer.

Galen has decided to follow in his father's footsteps and use his powers for good. He has joined the ranks of heroes who populate NYC. Still, in the back of his mind, Galen thinks about the assassin who killed his father and he wonders if the assassin will come for him...
