BIO.
born in istanbul, turkey.
only child of emre and defne demirci.
his earliest memories of birth parents are clouded with fear, a combination of transference from his mother and genuine terror at his father's temper.
the increasingly tense situation at home was what caused his mother to flee her home country and seek to start a new life with her son far away from him.
bo was five when they eventually landed in aurora bay, where defne became fast friends with ella and adrien winters.
his already shaky world was flipped on it's axis once again at the age of 6 when his mother passed away suddenly in the night. bo was the one to find her in her bed and to this day he can still recall how cold her hands were.
the details of her death aren't known to him even as an adult, which was a choice he made to protect himself from something he's not sure he'll ever be ready to know.
with his life in upheaval and the possibility of his father being sought out as his remaining parent, he was lucky that adrien and ella stepped in to take him in and look after him in the immediate weeks following his mother's death.
he was 7 when they officially adopted him.
when he turned 18 he took on winters as a last name to honour the man who raised him rather than carry the name of the man who wasn't and never would be a part of his life again.
wasn't a troubled teen by any means but he did like to party and that carried on through his early twenties and into adulthood.
included in that was a stupid drunken marriage in vegas when he was 21, which he intended to get annulled and didn't because avoiding a problem is far simpler than dealing with it.
took five years to complete a degree in finance but eventually got it at 23.
moved to new york at 25 to put it to use and eventually began working as a stockbroker.
found he had a talent for it and built a client base fast.
crossed paths with juliet harkness at 28. the pair of them fell for each other hard and fast and ended up "married" by the time he was 30.
unbeknownst to juliet their marriage isn't valid because bo never had his first marriage annulled. messy.
the pair of them tried for children for over a year before their relationship broke down incomparably. any hope for reconciliation were dashed for hi after she left and he found birth control that she was secretly taking while they were trying.
moved back to aurora bay full time at 31 and has been there ever since.
worked remotely for a couple of years before deciding his life and his occupation needed a soft reboot and decided to invest his savings.
he bought a place in seabrook quarter that he rents out and oasis nightclub where he's a very present boss.
can often be found there making sure things are running smoothly.
may indulge in a shot or two in the right company.
