At a young age, he looks at his surroundings full of tragedies. His bipolar father would confuse him, from a sweet loving father to an abusive father. His paraplegic mother would just stare at the sky with void in her eyes, unresponsive and broken. What he didn't like was his uncontrolled imagination. His sympathy was extreme and he could feel his parents pain, as well others. Aided by his powerful imagination, he dreams about their situation, What if that was me? What do I do if that happened to me? What if I was weak and fell to that level? He would try to endlessly imagine their situation and what to do, in which he tells them his thought and be rebuked, "How will you know!?" Was a common response. Tired of their shits, Ryan choose to use his sympathy and powerful imagination to his advantage. Manipulatate people to do his work, swore loyal to him, give everything to him, and most importantly, cannot live without him.  It just happens for the world to undergo a procedure, while people was sent into a dangerous world, where monsters roam and fly, magic and swords, etc.  While others panicked, Ryan was smiling as he thought of the most perfect situation to use his skills. This was his upbringing and the multiverse would later hear him as The Godfather.
