Being the son of Edward Giskaas II, Cadwalider was destined to becoming the prince of Norway. He was pompered to perfection and was voted sexiest teenager in Norway by adoring female alumni. He enjoyed fine arts, fencing, chess, and equestrian sports. But one day something happened. He was left alone in the palace with nothing but a remote and a television. What he saw when he turned on the television was horrible, yet quite arousing. No, he wasn't watching late night Showtime... he was watching WWF Raw is War. He loved every aspect of wrestling and even wanted to try it out for himself. Unfortunately, his subject nor him was not expecting what was going to happen.
Cadwalider wanted to try out a simple move, the club to the neck. He had one of his butlers fetch a whipping boy so he could try out the move. Cadwalider grabbed ahold of the whipping boy's arm and shoved it into his back. He then punched the whipping boy in the back of the neck several times. The whipping boy died instantly.
With news of what happened, Edward Giskaas II disowned his son and banned him from the palace. Cadwalider had to think quickly. He had no home and no family. He stowed away on a Irish vessel sailing to America. He was taken in by a lower-class family living out of Augusta, Maine. This is where Cadwalider calls home.
Digging out of dumpsters and hanging around downtown was real fun for Cadwalider but something was missing in his life. It wasn't his family and it wasn't the fact that he was far from home (Norway). It was his love for wrestling. He saw a banner on a building downtown advertising wrestling training. He saved up all the money he earned from selling his services to businessmen. He then signed up and became top of his class with another student named Phantom.
