Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Cas was abandoned by their mother in early infancy and given to their maternal biological grandparents by Child Protective Services. Their grandparents, a "good ol' boy" white Korean War veteran and a tiny passive-aggressive Korean woman, didn't exactly know how to care for the needs of their partially-verbal autistic and disabled grandchild. Despite trying their best, they made many mistakes and their relationship with Cas soured, particularly when they came out as agender. During their first manic episode at the age of 18, they had an explosive fight with their grandfather and ran away from home, which ended in them being hospitalized after their grandfather called authorities in a remorseful panic. Vowing to never allow their grandparents to be in their life again, Cas wildly applied to various jobs in the surrounding states and ended up moving to a tiny town of 320 in eastern Missouri named Texas, where they were taken under the wings of two married mentors - Benny Liu, an intellectually disabled mechanic, and Liu Fai Dong, a professional storm chaser and amateur ghost hunter.
