"Just keep reading, Hamlet. Your father will be proud of you soon, I promise... He won't be mad at your any longer..."
- Mother
Hyde was born under the name of Hamlet, after one of Shakespearean works, along with seven other brothers who were named in a similar fashion. Since they were small children, they all knew of their father being a playwright and his obsession.
Though their father was present, their mother (along with the help of her sibling) raised them as properly as she could without the constant abuse from her own husband and their father. Whenever Hyde's mother was absent, it was likely that his father forced him and his brothers to the stage and practice perform for his own amusement. Especially as the age of 12, he already memorized several scripts and knew them word for word to satisfy his father - likely afraid of his father's wrath. And at that same age, the abuse ended soon after brothers discovered their mother committed suicide. The following day, his father had disappeared to run away from the public that discovered his cruelty.
"What do you think is wrong with you? Nothing! You don't need a mother, or a father. You're perfectly fine the way you are: Strong, reliable, and you're super fun. What do you mean 'what's wrong with me?' I think you're so amazing, Hyde."
- Emery
No one except their mother's eldest brother was able to care for the eight children. Only able to take in four of the eight children, Hyde was one of the fortunate children to stay with their uncle. The other four had no choice but to be in foster homes until they were old enough to live on their own. His uncle was a busy man, though unsure of his occupation or lifestyle - he and his brother spent most of their time living in their uncle's house alone to care for themselves. Despite his uncle was willing to pay for food and other expenses, Hyde demanded that he'd find himself a job to pay for himself. At 16, Hyde decided that he'll go back to school to finish his education. Because of his situation and school was left on a pause during his time living with his uncle, he was held back for a whole year when he entered highschool.
He played around during his highschool years, especially with Regret. Only until he was introduced to Grettel's childhood friend that he began to completely shift his lifestyle around. He began to take his artistic interests seriously - he pursued painting, acting and even music as both his hobby and his career choice.
During high school, he believed his whole life revolved around his girlfriend, Emery. However, when they reached to their senior year, they drifted apart. Soon enough, Hyde had took a risky turn and slept with another individual and the partner from his one-night stand was pregnant with his child. Guilt and pain made him suffer and he needed to tell Emery and thankfully in the end, Emery was rather understandable and broke up soon after. Despite heartbroken, he watched Emery fall in love with another [man] after her 18th birthday. While Hyde, ended up focusing on graduating.
"No one is walking this path by themselves, Hyde. I didn't get to where I was entirely because of my parents. I earned it myself in the end, but with that stubborn, bratty attitude of yours, Hyde... you're not going anywhere. And I'm here to help."
- Hans
When Hyde distanced himself from Emery - Hyde found out about her joining some secretive organization and Hyde didn't expect partaking in such things would put her in danger. But because of Hyde's newborn baby, Bella, he couldn't do anything but pray she was going to come home safe.
When Espada finally came home days after, she was guided by a large and reserved figure by the name of Hans. He was thankful for Johannes' help but it caught Hans's attention. He assumed that the lawyer was going to fly back to Germany, but instead he remained to stay in the same town to get to know Hyde more. His whole ordeal made Esmer feel somewhat uncomfortable, if not irritated, but he never pushed Hans away.
There were several instances where he hated Hans offering his help (whether it be physical support, his care, and his money) and almost every time he shut him down with them. Yet after all these years, Hans still continues to offer his help to Esmer and confessed that he had feelings for him. With the lawyer still on his back, he potentially opens himself up a bit more around him. And there are even days where Hans would be taking great care of Bella with Hyde by him, questioning whether he should commit to him.
- Hyde was born under the name Hamlet and his parents were obsessed with classical plays and playwriting. His father, however was abusive to him and his seven other brothers.
