History notes: Grew up in London, mixed with a street gang early teens, considered weird when everyone else in the group liked switch and big elaborate knives and he showed up with a stiletto, this singled him out and he was targeted as a Possibility, and was influenced by a veiled group, effectively preparing him to be prepared for training.
Upon leaving school he was picked up before he could say "Okay now what," and didn't even question the destiny laid out for him by SIS.

Age 22, and he and Milly Jones were married, it was done completely by the book according to the Service, their marriage was happy enough and, to their neighbours, normal. They had one daughter, Abigail.
Age 28, Abigail (age 6) goes missing. Found 3 months later, deceased.
In the following 5 years the Hatherly-Jones marriage deteriorates and then dissolves, Milly transfers to another site, August transfers to another section working abroad.
