Connor was born in The City as the eldest of 5 siblings. During his early years, his mother was absent much of the time and Connor and his siblings were neglected and left to fend for themselves.

In 2001, Connor and his Siblings were removed from their mother's care and separated. Connor was moved through various foster placements before being placed in North Meadows Children's Home due to his challenging behaviour.

At North Meadows, Connor met and made friends with Mia Stower. He would periodically get involved in criminal activity with older boys and spent time in a juvenile detention centre.

At age 18, Connor left North Meadows and moved onto the sofa of an acquaintance.

Connor struggles to manage his anxiety and OCD and often self medicates with alcohol.
