Steven Cross
Steven Cross was young and foolish when he first met a girl named Eileen. They were still in high school when they fell in love and he got her pregnant with their first child, Andrew. He was there for her and the baby and ran away with her when she was kicked out of her home.
The two never married for some reason. Perhaps that reason was fear. Together, they had another child, Jared. Shortly after the birth of their second son, Steven left Eileen for another woman.
He was happy with his new wife, Cynthia. He still played an active role in his children's lives, but after he got a new job and was doing well for himself, he suddenly had little time for his sons.
He had one son with his wife, Mitchell. As he spent more time at work and with his new family, he hardly even noticed when there was something wrong with his other children. He never noticed the bruises that they hid.
He was very dissapointed in his son, Andrew, when he heard of the incident in which he attacked his step-father. He had always gotten along with Marcus and trusted him with his boys. He didn't even know half of the story. After hearing of his son's powers, he agreed Valora Academy was the best course of action.
Cynthia Cross
Cynthia was born and raised in the country. She married at a young age and regretted it as the man became and abusive drunk. One day she ran away and filed for divorce, getting a court order to keep her ex-husband away.
She got a job in the city. That's where she met Steven Cross as she worked as his secretary. The two had an affair and when Steven left his family, the two got married and Steven got a new job.
The two lived happily and she truly did enjoy the company of her step-children. They decided to hold off on having children as Cynthia went live out her dreams of becoming famous. She is an amazing singer and actress and even owns her own line of clothing and perfumes.
She still keeps her business strong even after she gave birth to her son, Mitchell. Though she has slowed down a bit with her acting and singing. Despite the fact that Steven never noticed what was going om with his sons, she always did, having noticed the signs of abuse. She tried to confront Marcus, but was threatened. There was only so much she could do after that.
Eileen Jeffrey
Eileen was very young when she met Steven Cross. After getting pregnant with Andrew, she told her parents and was kicked out of the house by her father, against her mother's wishes. On their own and with a baby on the way, the couple ran away and started a new life in the city.
After the birth of their second son, Steven left Eileen for another woman. Several years later she married a man named Marcus Jeffrey who, after their marriage, began showing abusive behavior to her and her children. She tried to do something and always defended her childen, but it was never enough. She couldn't leave him and things became complicated.
She was scared to death when she got pregnant with her third child, Kathleen. Things went smoothly for a little while. After the baby was born, her sons wouldn't let Marcus near the baby.
After they discovered Andrew's powers, she was more then happy to get at least one of her children away from her abusive husband, even though it meant she and the other two would be hurt more. After all, Andrew had always received the brunt of his attacks.
Marcus Jeffrey
Marcus Jeffrey was raised by his father... at least when he was home. His mother died in child birth and his father blamed him. He served in the U.S. army and they lived on one of the army bases. His father was abusive at times and when he wasn't there, Marcus stayed with his elderly grandmother who lived with them.
After graduating from school, Mark enlisted in the army like his father and his father before him. It wasn't really his choice though. It was what his father wanted him to do.
A few years later, his father was killed in action and Marcus left the service. He traveled for a little while before he settled down in the city and got a job as a police officer.
After meeting the most amazing woman ever in his eyes, he married her, accepting her and the two sons she brought into their marriage. However, he became abusive. When he wasn't hitting her or the kids, he was showering his wife with gifts and every so often the boys as well. He felt guilty at times.
He was pissed off and drunk one night and attacked his younger step-son. That was the night they discovered Andrew's powers. Marcus was glad to be rid of his eldest step-son when he was sent to Valora. The boy was too much of a hassle anyway and always got in the way.
Andrew Cross
Andrew felt as though he never fit in. He felt abandoned by his father and betrayed by his mother. He liked his step-mother and loved his younger siblings, but his parents... they just didn't get him. His father was never there and his mother...
He was mad at her for not leaving Marcus. He was pissed at her for marrying him in the first place. But she was his mother and he defended her as best as he could just as he defended his brother and sister. He always stood up to Marcus. He was like a protector to his family.
Then, one night things went too far. His powers were discovered and he was sent away to Valora Academy. There, he became friends with a very interesting group of people, Louis and Vivienne Shaymen, Etan Rune and Scott Moquin. For once, he belonged somewhere.
Jared Cross
Jared is the younger son of Eileen and Steven. He always felt weak and left out. His older brother was always defending him, his father never paid attention to him and his mother never exactly did what was best for him.
When his brother was shipped off to Valora, things took a turn for the worse. The beatings got worse and their younger sister even started to get hit. Jared even discovered his own powers, but kept them a secret. Someone had to be there to defend the family.
Kathleen Jeffrey
Kathleen Jeffrey is the only daughter of Eileen and Marcus Jeffrey. She loves her family, even her father. She was always closest to her brothers though and never understood why they tried to keep her away from her daddy until she actually witnessed the beatings. Then, after Andy left, she began experiencing those beatings herself.
