Taylor was once a normal,
friendly boy who got caught up with a bad crowd of bullies. He
never did fit in with these thugs, but he hung around them to make
himself feel strong. These bullies picked on
Anthony, who later became a vampire and
dispatched of them, only sparing Taylor who was to be tormented. Anthony
mutated Taylor with a gator, making him into the creature he currently
is.
After meeting (and nearly
killing) Datton, he befriend the young paladin.

Rest for the Righteous"
Taylor has a
flashback of when he was mutated into a gator monster.
