Even before the outbreak Dallon had a turbulent upbringing. His parents were high school sweethearts (his mother had him and his twin Holten at 16) but it was clear by the time they were college age that they should no longer be together but for some reason the two kept procreating
By the time they were 26 his parents had 5 kids with another of the way
the Morrow kids were as follows: Dallon, Holten, Trovian, Aiden, Brayden, and Evelyn.
Even though he was the oldest, Dallon somehow always found himself in the shadow of his twin brother Holten. No matter what Holten was smarter, better, faster, and all the above. He was the apple of his parents’ eye, especially his mother’s.
Not long before the outbreak their younger brother Trovian died from childhood leukemia.
When the outbreak hit Dallon’s father packed everyone up and took them to a QZ near Chicago which wasn’t far from their home town of Niles, but things were turbulent from the start. Raiders attacked, FEDRA had a hard time fighting back the infected, and it lasted less then a year before it fell.
With a baby on the way Dallons parents hopped around from place to place trying to find a stable place for the boys and the baby but found nothing and poor Evelyn was born on the road. Finally they decided to make their way east.
It wasn’t an easy trek, especially with 5 little boys and a baby girl. The journey took years and as they traveled they lost one of the younger boys, Aiden, to an illness. Still they kept moving, knowing there was nothing left for them.
After years of providing for so many, Dallon’s father must have gotten tired of it because one day they woke up to find both him and his pack gone. They waited hoping that he was simply on a run, however as months passed it was clear he wasn’t coming back. Whether he was on a run or simply left, it forced Dallon and Holten to step up and become the head(s) of the family at only 13 years old.
Knowing something had to be out there, a safe haven of some sorts. Finally they ended up finding the Pittsburg QZ, and the twins enrolled in the FEDRA academy.
A usual, Holten shined brightly, leaving Dallon in his shadow. Eventually the two became officers but Holten ranked much higher then his older brother.
It killed him to be in Holten’s shadow but there was one thing Dallon seemed to do better then his brother and that was have his way with the ladies. To flaunt it in Holten’s face Dally made it his personal mission to sleep with as many girls as possible. Especially if Holten liked them.
Things were going smoothly until the twins were assigned to take out some infected that were starting to get too close to the QZ. On that mission the twins were the only ones that made it back. But though he’d “made it” back, Holten had gotten infected.
Their mother blamed Dallon, saying it should have been him that was bitten. It was the last time he talked to his mother, she killed herself out of grief the night Holten died.
Present day, Dallon still looks after the little bit of family he had left even if they are grown. He often times provides for Evelyn seeing as she recently had a baby girl. As for Brayden, he tries to connect with him but the two have been that close.
To deal with the emotional damage thats been done to him by both the world and his mother Dallon drinks more then he eats, and rarely has an empty bed.
