Theo is a former MI6 agent. His father had been an MI6 agent before him and he attempted to follow in his father's footsteps. MI6 discharged him when he showed a lack of impulse control and sense of reality. This led to him working for anyone willing to pay him. He was paid a quarter of a billion dollars to create an electromagnetic pulse large enough to take the entire US electrical grid offline permanently. He then planned to place it at the Beaumont Lake plant, which was carrying the load for the Eastern Grid, which would start a domino effect.

His mother died when he was seven.
