The Sacking of the D'ambert Homestead
Adrian comes from an unlikely background. Before picking up a weapon, he was a farmhand, managing the D'ambert Homestead alongside his family, a prosperous community which has survived a long history. The D'ambert Homestead was one of the first farming communities ever established by humanity, and has survived the conflict between humanity and Grimm. Ever since, the homestead has supplied a large quantity of goods to various lands.

But in recent times, farming had become quite dangerous: since the Creatures of Grimm had begun to make a resurgence near the area of the homestead, attacks were frequent, due to the large supply of food in the area, forcing settlers to take arms and fight. However, as they were mere farmers and field workers, deaths were common.

One of these attacks claimed the lives of Adrian's sister, torn apart by an Ursa, and his mother, carried away by a Nevermore. Adrian and his father continued to manage the homestead, until the Grimm attempted another attack, with a massive force. The homestead was destroyed, and Adrian was the only survivor. From that day onwards, Adrian swore to avenge his family, by laying waste to every Creature of Grimm that stood in his way.

A New Beginning
A few days later, sleeping in his ravaged home, Adrian planted a seed, in honor of his fallen family. However, it was unlikely to grow, as the soil was ravaged, and would likely not grow anything else. Salvaging what he could from his old home, Adrian decided to train to become a Hunter, so he could defend others from the misfortunes that the Grimm were willing to inflict.

Hitching a ride on a Schnee Dust Company train, Adrian managed to steal a weapon: an assault rifle which functioned as a double-ended battleaxe, labelled Empyrean Defender. After fighting his way off the train, Adrian stowed away in Signal Academy, watching the lessons and analyzing the student's sparring techniques from the rafters.

Deciding that he wanted to become a student, Adrian soon applied for Signal Academy, and was accepted. Over time, Adrian became good friends with Yang Xiao Long, and her sister Ruby Rose. A few years later, he was lucky enough to be selected for a scholarship to Beacon Academy.
