Several decades ago.
During the first decade of the fifty-year Orc War, there were many small towns near the border of the empire, and in one shabby house lived a poor kid with his drunkard father.
"Idiot!! I told you to steal more money! What is this!? Just some pocket change!? How will I buy anything from this you God d*mn piece of sh*t!"
The drunk father shouted at his useless son and kicked him heavily in the stomach as he gobbled down more wine from the bottle!
"Don't you know how great I am! I was a soldier before! I had fought in the army! If not for those d*mned Orcs! I wouldn't have lost my job!!"
Neo's father was a terrible man; he was an abusive father, a drunkard to boot, and a deserter from the army.
Although he seemed to show himself as a glorious person, he was nothing but utter garbage as a parent.
