Evangelus was born Edward Drake in a poor town and that is the most he remembers from his early childhood. A lot of the time, he was singled out by the towns' people because his hair was purple, and his skin was darker than his parents'. His eyes, like his mom's and apparently like his brother's, were green. His brother. He knew he apparently had one, but he never saw him, not once. His parents avoided questions about him so eventually, Evangelus gave up.
