Hesse was born in Wolfenburg, Germany. At a young age he suffered from bipolar disorder. This would soon develop into an unfortunate form of multiple personality disorder, in which his alter-ego would go on a search for fresh hamburgers on moonlit nights. Though he often had to settle for the occasional Big Mac when the dairy farm was well-guarded, often leading to bloody confrontations with animal control. It was on one such fated night when he was seen by a man who would soon found a rock band and name it after the unfortunate soul.
