}}Cillian's parents met as slaves, married as slaves, became parents as slaves and to slaves. He grew up in a cut throat environment, Terrans betraying each other for favours that wouldn't last. He learned to be distrusting, how to listen and watch for every opportunity, who it was safe to take out and who it wasn't. He learned to be ruthless, and only care about number one. Unless it was his sister, in which case anyone who touched her was liable to find themselves in the shit for something they hadn't actually done, but somehow the evidence ended up pointing that way. His father died in a work accident when he was twelve, and Cillian knew he had to step up and protect his family. He did it in the only way he knew how and became a ruthless asshole.

With his father's charm and Denobulan skill, and his mother's looks as a weapon, Cillian was good at talking his way out of trouble. Until one of the new workers decided that he was going to wade into the family residence, knock out his mother and try and rape his sister. Cillian lost it, and dragged the guy out into the communal area, beating the shit out of him and strangling him in front of the overseer. There was no way he could talk himself out of this one. Luckily, the overseer decided he liked the defiant look in the young man's eyes, so instead of facing death, the overseer bought him. Cillian quickly realised that losing that defiance would see him discarded like a useless piece of trash. So he convinced the Klingon who owned him to teach him how to fight, so that he could make it more fun for him. His owner liked loaning him out, and kept his face pretty to make sure that any dignitaries that visited their facility found him attractive enough to want to play with. He was viewed as part of the fixtures and fittings, and not worth sending away when important conversations happened. It helped that he was good at making them feel good too, playing up to every whim.

He was approached by a member of the Terran Resistance for intelligence, and it so happened that he could give it. Knowing he could use his observation skills to his advantage he decided to do just that. He negotiated to get his mother and sister out of dodge, once that was done he started talking more risks to help the rebels. Then he made a mistake, one that would have cost him his life, had he not managed to convince his Klingon owner to let him learn to fight, he'd be dead. Instead his owner was the one bleeding out all over floor of their quarters, Cillian stood over him, and told him that had he only been willing to repay his loyalty by helping his family things would have been very different for them both. 

He got out of the facility by the skin of his teeth, having bargained an escape route, he finally used it and went to find his mother and sister. They were overjoyed to see him alive, but he wouldn't talk about what had happened to him in the year or so they had been apart. He opened up to a distant cousin though, when she came by to see them. She offered him a way to work out some of that anger, and so he followed her back to her cell in the Defenders of Earth. His mother and sister hadn't wanted him to go, but they were as safe there as they were anywhere else, and this shit needed to end. He was at the point where fighting for his life and his freedom was all he knew, and he wasn't going to stop.
