History: Howard is the oldest of two boys to Marcus and Rose Thomas. Nowadays, Howard remembers little of his parents, but just enough to still be hurting about their death. His parents lost their lives in a fire that started in the night at the family home, and Howard had been put in charge of getting his then extremely young brother, Johnathan, out of the house. When reflecting on that night now, Howard says he believes the last thing his parents told him was that they'd "be right behind him." The male is uncertain of just what happened to his parents, but he believes that his father had gone back to get his mother and help her out as Howard took care of Johnathan.

After everything was all said and done, Howard and Johnathan were taken in by Edward and Maria Lucas, who lived in Liverpool. Since both boys were so young, they grew up to identify Liverpool as their hometown, and memories of their life before the fire was vague, at best. Both had been a little too young to remember specific details of their lives before the fire, but they could remember what had happened on that night well enough that they would be haunted by nightmares for a while afterwards. Howard, being the oldest, typically had the worst time with them, as he could remember more of their parents than Johnathan, but often hid it from his younger brother and their adoptive parents, wanting to be there for his younger brother to help him with what he was experiencing.
