Background

Maverick grew up in a poor neighborhood to his mother and father. He was the youngest of three kids. Neither of his parents were fit to care for him so the responsibility fell on his older sister and brother Max and Matteo. Although both of them were involved in illegal activities and gang violence they did the best they could to take care of and protect their younger brother from the violence around them. He was often outcast by his parents and peers for many reasons; his looks, his sensitivity, his interests. He usually felt as if he didn't belong and his sister was one of the only people to tell him otherwise. When he was eleven Maxine passed, leaving the full weight of caring for Maverick on a 16 year old, much more emotionally stunted Matteo, who often tried to ‘fix’ him rather than help him. Despite his rough upbringing, Maverick was able to go on to be the first in his family to attend college, deciding to help and teach young kids in similar situations..
