Ethan was born in North Central to Robert Stower and Nancy Stower and was the youngest of five brothers.
His home life was very dysfunctional and he was mostly ignored and neglected by his parents and tormented by his older brothers.
Ethan loved primary school and his teacher, having seen great potential in him, put him forward for a Southbridge School scholarship in maths and science.

Ethan started attending Southbridge School on a full scholarship in 1991 at the age of 11. For most of his time at Southbridge, Ethan did not have any friends and was bullied by his peers. However, he excelled in his classes (other than English) and enjoyed school most of the time.
Ethan's parents were not happy or supportive of his attending secondary education and wanted him to get a job to make money for the family instead. In 1994, at the age of 14, Ethan left his family home to get away from them. Ethan slept rough for a little while before realising he could sleep in the Southbridge School boiler room as long as nobody noticed. Eventually, he was caught by his form tutor, Clive Reichemick.
