Having a racist, easily-tempered father, a mother who hates his own son and an uncle who's simply mad with grief of the death of his own sons, Lake had a troubled childhood. Lake rarely spent time at his own house, afraid of being beaten up by his father or mother, he spent time out with his friends doing simple things that would turn Lake's life around. Anything from stealing vegetables to burning crops to beating people up, that was what they normally did. When Lake was a few years older, entering into being a teenager, his crimes gotten a bit more serious. He stole more valuable things such as gold, he even tried to burn his own town alive, which was Trestlebridge. But it wasn't his fault, really. As time grew on, when he became sixteen, things became more serious. His father now grew poorer and poorer, his mother well ended up moving away from the home to live with her sister and his uncle? Well still mad with grief. In the act of anger and sadness of all this, he murdered many many people, stealing their money to help his family and himself. Being sentenced to death, Lake ran and ran, abandoning everything and everyone. The five years between this gap lead to him being a thief and murderer and explorer but that was hardly known.
