The Human woman who was married to Nord's father was the parent of Calo Nord. This pair made the decision to sell their young son into a life of slavery. Upon reaching the age of sixteen years, Nord enacted his revenge by killing his slave masters; furthermore, he located and murdered both of his parents. Following the demise of his parents at Nord's hand, a bounty was issued for his capture. Nord, however, eliminated the bounty hunters who pursued him, and ultimately discovered and killed the individuals responsible for posting the bounty. In time, he rose to prominence as the most dreaded bounty hunter of that era.
