Born and raised in south Miami on the border of the Everglades, Mark Elliot grew up playing in the swamps around his house, and getting the shit kicked out of him for his mouthy attitude, usually by the teenage drug dealers that infested the part of town he lived in. As he grew older, he began stealing from the people who used to pick on him, as well as anyone associated with them. When he was twelve, his tormentors turned victims had had enough and broke into his house and killed his mother. Two weeks afterwards, Mark found "his family" in a reptile collection owned by a neglectful methhead and rescued them.
