Background on Aiden Shaw, 1/4 of the Umi Squad! (Patreon)

Aiden Shaw

Born beyond the Barrier, Aiden grew up in a small town ravaged by war after being taken siege by the oppressive Captain Mogma, a Disciple turned Devil in search of The Ninth.

Formerly of a family of 5, Aiden was the the oldest of 3 children born to neglectful parents. Often unsupervised and undisciplined, Shaw was quick to find himself getting into trouble, stealing other's property, getting into fights around town, and eventually joining the ranks of one of the most notorious gangs in the galaxy.

It was only until his twin siblings were born that he seemed to acrew a sense of responsibility. Wanting to present himself as a better example to his younger brother and sister, he lied to them and said that he had become a member of the Insignia, a collective of those who haven't lost hope for the Universe after The Divine War and seek to take it back from the Devils. Often coming back home to see them before being kicked out by his parents.

Until eventually wanting out of his gang to focus on a better future for his siblings, Shaw would find that something of the sort wasn't so simple, for in his gang, you live or die by it. There is no out.

One day, Aiden came to his old home to find that it had been ransacked, and his parents taken custody, discovering that he had been outed to Captain Mogma's soldiers for crimes against her leadership.

Alone in an empty home, Aiden's brother and sister were left to fend for themselves before becoming victims of a hit attempt put out on Aiden's head by his former gang members for betraying their way of life. Despite his best efforts to defend them, his siblings were lost in the crossfire.

Discovering that his mother and father were relocated, and his mother growing severely ill, Aiden decided to run away from his hometown, and the only family he had left.

Years later, Aiden had made a name for himself in the back streets of the cosmos as one of the most notorious criminals in the galaxy, with a bounty on his head in many sectors of the Universe. A thief, a smuggler, an assassin, Shaw would take on any job for the right price. For now, his only desire left in his life is to make enough money to pay for his mother's medication, and to move his parents inside the Barrier, a planet created by Orion with a defensive shield surrounding it created by Juniper, making this the only safe haven in the Universe.

Once finished with his final declared mission, Aiden Shaw had plans to exit his life on his own terms, though his plans were cut short after finally being captured and turned over to The Insignia and being put into a max security prison where he was to live the rest of his days in a hole.

All before suddenly being confronted and broken out of prison by a little boy and his fox who would soon change his life forever.
