"Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which and be pointed out by your finger."
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)

Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Magnammar and his family had your everyday normal life. The father and mother worked hard while the children went to school and excelled in every area. Magnammar was the oldest child of the family, and while he was expected to be the most mature, there were times where he was not. After getting caught stealing expensive electronic equipment to sell and during the robbery, he beat a man severely, Magnammar was sent to a juvenile detention camp where he was taught discipline and respect, along with daily beatings from the other juvenile inmates. While in the Detention Camp, Magnammar began to slowly draw back into himself, not allowing anyone to get too close to know him. He then discovered that he had a fondness for self-mutilation. He enjoyed cutting himself and seeing his own blood flow from his wounds. He enjoyed it so much, that the pain became almost as pleasurable as a sexual experience. He truly became demented and was never rehabilitated. He was deemed anti-social, bi-polar and suicidal by a psychologist who spent many hours with the young man.
Magnammar was eventually released from the detention camp at the legal age of 21. Once he was released, he quickly went to a Mixed Martial Arts competition, but failed miserably. Then he was recruited to take a trip to Hong Kong, where underground fighting was a very popular sport. Magnammar excelled in this violent art and he quickly became one of the most sought after fighters. He spent many months in Hong Kong, travelling to one remote location to another to participate in these fights, sometimes losing and sometimes winning. The months stretched into years and before long, the 33 year old Magnammar was a master at his craft. He was quickly the biggest underground fighting star of the industry and when he finally left, he had more fans than he had realized. With some money in his pocket, Magnammar got a work visa and hopped a plane to back America, where he began to work with various independent wrestling companies by setting up the ring, and routine maintenance before getting his break by filling in for a wrestler. His chance was here and he jumped at it and soon became known as the "Emperor of Extreme". He now travels around to other independent and national federations in hopes of finding a good permanent wrestling fixture to affiliate himself with. |
