Youth
Bait grew up in the underground of Inkopolis Bay, being thrust into the Octarian Army at a young age as an asset after a long discussion between high-ranked Octarians regarding what to do with him due to his crossed species. (They end up gracing him with this postion because they believe he might be of some value, taking into account his large build.) However, since he is seen as significantly more disposable than other soliders, He, along with a small team of equally disregarded octolings, are assigned to the Metro with the task of figuring out why the sanitization of Octolings is occuring. (Which, most of the time ended up being mass extermination of the infected, much to his disapproval) He stays here a good chunk of his life, trying to help solve a problem with no solution.
Early/Mid Teens
Bait, being the strong pacifist he had always been, eventually can't take the constant brutality anymore. Unknown to the higher ups, the normal octarian brainwashing hasn't ever effected him. (Something something frequency for octolings, something something part inkling so it doesn't work how it should)
Having lived in this area his entire life, he knows the metro like the back of his hand, deciding to take the way out. Before he is able to make the entire way through the railline, he meets and teams up with another octoling fugitive; Cuff. The two eventually run into a lost Agent 3 and Capn Cuttlefish; Bait didn't really care to help the two, not even being able to communicate thru more than broken inklish, he eventually cracks, allowing them to catch on the trip to the surface with the help of a radio-communicated Marina and Pearl.
(Some kind of fucked up Agent 8 but not really Agent 8 scenario? No evil telephone.... no Agent 8 v Agent 3?!)

Young Adult/Current
Bait settles into Inkopolis, staying friendly with the inkfish he'd met during his escape. (Though, moreso considering Cuff a good buddy more than the rest. Most if not all contact is cut with Squidbeak)
He picks up work at Grizzco, being the helmsman for the place and generally being worked half to death being the only person working the position, and the hours just make it worse. Most of the time at work is linked up with his co-worker, Charms, who has to stay on site and supervise due to his own position. The two sometimes spend up to 5 day shifts together, the advisor and helmsman both needing to stay on the boat most of the day besides cleanup, taking the freetime they have becoming good friends.
The job was easier with him around, spending day and night with someone he considers himself closest to. Eventually, Cuff and Charms, both being mutual friends of Bait, meet. The two form a rivalism-friendship, usually needing to be mediated by Bait; who, honestly thinks it's a little hilarious.
The other is eventually transferred to another city for work, and though the two stay in contact, Bait becomes more of a hermit, spending majority of his time working. (Which, usually, is loudly disapproved of by those close to him)
