Backstory
Wyn's story starts off with the Ochoa family, a simple and small family, but a happy one nonetheless. Consisting of him and his parents, Evelyn and Octavius, things were fine. Until Octavius one day revealed a secret he had been keeping from his wife for a long time. The secret being that he has some sort of monstrous curse and it may have passed onto Wyn. Evelyn was one to believe in magic and curses, so she believes him, but gets upset that he didn't tell her sooner, and files for divorce. Before leaving, she badmouths Octavius and Wyn, calling them freaks. Wyn was very young when this all happened, and obviously this damaged his self-confidence for years to come.

Octavius has since moved on from the divorce, and then remarried to one of his colleagues, being Decima, and both had a child named Holiday. Wyn initially struggled in taking care of her as he was very unfamiliar with having a sibling, but over time he got used to it, and also cared for her a lot. He also saw Decima more like his own mother than Evelyn.

Over the years, he finds comfort in the presence of his best friends, who will later become his boyfriends, being Sal Sherburn and Nat Niles. But also because of his emotional vulnerability he has been the victim of high school bullies who want to seem tough and "power over the weak," and one of those bullies was a kid named Nicholas.

One day, Sal goes missing, and Wyn and Nat are understandably distraught by it. Nicholas sees this as another opportunity to bully Wyn, but Nat steps in and tells him to stop. The two get into a fight, with Nat suddenly getting beaten a little too hard over the head as Nat's head is forcefully bashed over a nearby rock by Nicholas. As Nat is laying unconscious and bleeding, something brews up inside Wyn. Four pairs of weird tendrils sprout out of his back, and they attempt to beat some sense into Nicholas. Nicholas is then cut in some places, and proceeds to run away before things get bloodier, as if things aren't already. Wyn then rushes to Nat's unconscious body, cradles him, and fears hy may have died or something. Everything goes black, and he is greeted by two adult men. He knows them, somewhat. They're Augustin and Sepeteus, and all he knows about them is that they're his father's colleagues. They look worried about something, and they kept whispering to each other about fates and chosen ones and whatnot. They then turn to Wyn, still hugging Nat, and said they were going to offer them a safe haven for the both of them, were the two will not be harmed ever again. He remembers accepting it, and next was a blur.

He doesn't know why everything is so bright and colourful.

He doesn't know why he's all pink now, not that he minds. It's one of his favorite colours after all.

He... Also doesn't know why he's being called "Eight."

But he does know that Sal and Nat are fine.

Trivia

 * As with the other members of the "Countdown Gang," he is based on a number, specifically the number eight. The "clips" he has on his hair are shaped like a diamond and a heart, which are Perce and Dai's symbols, who resemble the numbers 4 and 2, the number 8's divisors.
 * Initially, his surname was going to be Achthoven, but was changed as Al didn't want any confusion with the already existing Achthovens of Pages.
