History- Doesn't remember anything before Tower prep. All of his memories are from the tower, and no matter how hard he tries he can't remember much. Random flashes of his life before tower come to him in his dreams, but they never make sense. One particular memory stands out above all the other's, he see's himself in a laboratory, confused, and strapped to a bed. Some one in the room is talking but he can't make out what they're saying. Suddenly a sharp noise fills the room and everything goes black.

His history in the school is very big. He tried to escape the first year with a group of friends, but they were all taken to the west campus.
Since then he has avoided confrontation with anyone, in fear that he will be sent there as well. His second year had been the most eventful so far. Sometime in the first semester he was recruited into the rooks, a student organization living in the shadows of the school. They promised to help him control his ability, but he became tired of the constant worry and left. The rooks tried to get him expelled or sent to the west campus, but Cress's quick thinking saved him. Later that year he discovered a secret passageway in his room. Afraid to explore it he simply pushed it into the back of his mind. He was alway's curious about it. This year, he want's to escape. He's afraid of all the secrets the school holds, he wants to learn about his previous life, his life outside of tower prep.
