Huo Ling was named as Howee Jackson when he was born. His father raised him abroad and he used the name until his death. However, he is half-Chinese thus his father also told him of his Chinese name – Huo Ling. His mother's surname is Huo, and she gave him the name 'ling' for feathers, since he is white and soft like a feather when he was born.
However, his mother died for some cause. His father didn't remarry, so he didn't have a stepmother or stepsiblings. However, he didn't know if his mother and father has siblings. Thus, when his father also died, he was just fourteen. His father left him to his friend and he never came back. His father's friend told him his father was missing. From the moment he saw his father's back, Huo Ling knew that was the last image he'll have of his father. Thus, he wasn't surprised after his father was declared missing, and later dead.
