Inheritence
Chet’s father was mercilessly slain by the evil usurper. Chet himself was spared, spirited away to a remote hideaway where he was raised with only one aspiration: revenge.
Chet never knew his father. Not his face, not his voice, not even the tenor of his character. He was just the postulation of a father, present in his life simply as the motivation for retribution.
Nor did Chet know anything about the evil usurper. There was no map to lead Chet to his kingdom. No instructions on how to defeat the evil scourge. There was simply the name: Congenital Heart Disease.
