Andrew Stone

History

• Biography

  Andrew Stone had, to put it simply, a rough childhood. He grew up with his mother, father, and sister, Larissa, who was a year older than him. Because of his extreme synaesthesia, his stern father considered him an invalid and a disgrace, and would often treat him as such, favoring Larissa much more than Andrew. His mother was kinder, but was a meek woman and would not ever go against her husband's will.
  Andrew and Larissa were very close, despite their rocky relationship with their parents. Larissa was a sweet, optimistic girl, and was Andrew's only friend. She would often help him with schoolwork, and taught him how to read since he couldn't understand the teacher. She taught him to use his flawless mnemonist's memory to his advantage, and helped him learn to overcome many of the setbacks his disability gave him.
  Despite his close relationship with his sister, Andrew still harbored a lot of anger towards his father for the way he treated him. He grew up with one goal for his life- prove to the world that he was a smart, talented individual, despite his synaesthesia and excessive memory. He hated his disability, and spent much of his time trying to learn to overcome it. Some of his attempts were successful, and he developed the skill to forcefully forget and also to listen to multiple people and still comprehend the speaking.
  He went into a career in computer science, where he quickly climbed the corporate ladder. He was incredibly talented with computers, and very successful, especially when he started keeping his synaesthesia a closely guarded secret. Soon, he was working at the Pentagon.
  He stopped working for the government at one point in his career, preferring to branch off into darker computer science. He founded Jaguar Industries, an illegal group dedicated to experimenting with powerful artificial intelligence.
