He and his brother fell out after Grim did not attend their mothers funeral, leaving him and their sister, Morag, to deal with their grief alone. After Grim died, he went to take care of Grim's boat and cats. On a whim he decided, to try his hand at sailing, to have an adventure of his own. He was picked up by Las Serpentes Que Caminan. After raiding the boat they found Grim's papers, and believed Cuddy to be his brother. They took him hostage, believing that they could get a ransom from Lara Croft.
