Childhood
Max Mercer was born in the ghettos of Detroit in 1994. His alcoholic father, Butch Mercer beat Max's mother, Helen Mercer to death with a rusty tire iron in an alleyway after hearing the Antichrist's voice in his head. He then proceeded to follow more orders from the Antichrist by violently raping Helens mutilated corpse and forcing Max to watch. With local law enforcement on their way to the scene, Butch poured gasoline stolen from a gas station near by on Helens body in an attempt to erase all evidence. As he poured, the silhouette of a stranger was seen walking into the alleyway. This man came from behind Butch and flicked a lit cigarette at Helens body, incinerating both of them in front of Max. Unknown to Max, this strange individual was the Antichrist

Max remained at a local orphanage for two years before being adopted by a Christian couple and moved home with them.

The Antichrist
The Antichrist played a major role throughout Mercer's life. His goal was to manipulate Mercer into despising the world and all of humanity. Though he was raised by a Christian couple, events caused by the Antichrist influenced him to the point he had lost his faith in God, and humanity. This consequentially resulted in his moral corruption and sociopath tendencies.

Christ Child Orphanage
Christ Child was the orphanage Mercer was sent to following his parents death. There he met Bruce Kilshawt, a notorious bully the same age as Mercer. Unknown to Bruce, the Antichrist is responsible for his parents deaths as part of his plan to bring Bruce and Mercer together. Until Mercers adoption, Bruce targeted Mercer on a daily basis, brutally beating him and abusing him as a way of releasing his anger.

Main article: St. Mario Shooting
Mercer attended high school at St. Mario's Academy. During Mercer's senior year, Bruce Kilshawt along with four other school friends entered the school with semi automatic rifles, gas masks, Bleach and Ammonia. Lead by the voice of the Antichrist, Bruce had stolen the rifles from his adoptive father's gun store the previous night. The group had flooded the buildings ventilation shafts with Chlorine gas by mixing their Bleach and Ammonia. Afterwards they open fire on students one classroom at a time. While trying to escape, Mercer was shot in the chest and nearly in the eye by Butch before the S.W.A.T. team breached the school and took Butch down. Mercer's face and eyes were permanently scared as a result of gases trailing the rifle round.
