"What? If you're wondering who I'm working for to get in this kind of situation - I'm not gonna tell you anything unless you want a bullet through your head. "
- Agent Hamlet
Years after Hyde had left Emery's side to take care of his child, his life proved to be much harder each year passed by. It wasn't long for his relationship with his child's mother to slowly dwindle, often leaving Hyde to care for his child alone while he worked his two jobs (up most to four if things are hectic) to pay for house and food. His child was the only meaning in staying alive; after leaving Emery to Hope, he had no choice but to cut off any other ties with his friends that were connected to them as well - which was practically everyone. However, his old partner Johannes had managed to track him, thus wanting Hyde to rely on him for any financial needs. Yet Hamlet refused to do so and had not contacted him for years.
While he was away from home due to work circumstances, he left his daughter to his mother. On his way home, he discovers that the mother of his child had ties with a drug cartel, thus he dashed home to find his apartment surrounded by armed members. Hyde, out of instinct, took the offensive route, but was heavily outnumbered. His only concern was his child, Ellabelle, whom it it was unknown if she had met the same fate as her mother. Yet, he couldn't tell as he fell from a gunshot through the shoulder, and then knocked out form a blunt weapon. He somehow survives the very next day, wakes up at a completely different home, with Bella was resting in a different bedroom. And the gang that he had no choice but to involve himself in, were completely wiped out before he had regained consciousness. He discovers that he'd been knocked unconscious for a few days, and his daughter was being well taken care of by someone he had never expected to see at all since her announced death.
Hyde was under care of his former love, Emery. To his surprised, he found out that the Prodigal was practically in her hands. Now Hamlet, whom she asks about his future, was given two choices:
To start over again, with just him and his beloved daughter. The house that they're in right now would belong to them, including a small fortune that they will be given to as a start and a well-paying job, but Emery will disappear from him forever. The second choice was to become the member of the Prodigal, as Hyde was a good candidate for his physique and physical skills. Hyde would leave his previous life as a man struggling to keep his family stable, will now guarantee safety to both his daughter and Johannes as he worked for them.
Hyde, who had crossed paths with the Prodigal before after watching Emery long ago, eagerly chooses the latter. As for Ellabelle, Hamlet had no choice but to send his daughter to his close friend Hans, who gladly will care for her until Hamlet is finished with the Prodigal business.
Hamlet eventually is accepted as a new member, and given himself the new name Herald. Although, even to Emery and Grandfather, they were surprised to take such an absurd name such as his own father's. He merely thinks of it as redemption, or just the fact that he's finally over the amount of hatred and forgives him before starting new. Although, it doesn't stop him from remembering his past and punching through obstacles to solve his problems. Like the old Hyde, he keeps him temper and is still more aggressive unless he's around Emery. He calls it "Percussive Maintenance."
Herald works with Grandfather, and secretly acts as an Envoy between the organization and Emery to help her gain some direct information to benefit her. On several occasions, Hamlet is the Grandmaster's escort.
Hope was the last to know that Hamlet was now a Prodigal Agent. While Hamlet knows about Emery being alive and Hope has no idea that she wasn't dead this whole time, he struggles from trying to tell the truth to him. There are many days where he desires to see the two of them together once again.
