His dad, Otto, was a inventor who made flying contraptions and his mom, Sheila, was a geologist helping the mining operation. Pyralis was raised in a semi-religious household, teaching about doing the right and having faith and all that. His father was building mechanical wings that can retract into a portable backpack and it allows the user flying around with ease, like an angel. Pyralis had enjoy test-running every prototype and his father had successfully perfected the design a few days before the attack. He intended to patent the design to help the military, police and hospitals to help the people. Unfortunately when Pyralis was 11 years old, during a mining operation, a massive group, larger than any group the village had fought, of Grimm laying dormant underground attack in full swarm. Sheila was killed at the first Grimm encounter, very few made back, just to pull the alarm but they don't the means to fight the group of Grimm of that magnitude nor have time for any available huntsmen for help. His father gave Pyralis the mechanical wings and told to fly back Vale as fast as he can. As he tearfully left his father to escape, he took shelter in a shallow cave and stay there over night.
