| Plot = One night while driving to visit relatives Thad was playing with an 8-Ball and being mocked by his father and brother. Thad's 8-Ball suddenly began to show him strange symbols, resulting in him being transported to a mysterious fortress known as the Rock of Eternity. Upon venturing further into the lair Thad discovered what looked like a throne room with seven seats, all but one of which were vacant. A man was sitting in the middle throne and stood after seeing Thad. The man introduced himself as the last of the Council of Wizards who were sworn to protect the realms of existence from the Seven Deadly Sins. The Wizard was dying after millennia of life and sought a champion to inherit his magic and replace him as the protector of the realms.[1]

The Wizard demanded that Thad should take a test to prove his worthiness. At that point the Wizard allowed the Seven Sins to enter Thad's mind so he could prove his willpower. Thad fell for their manipulations, attempting to free the Sins from their imprisonment so that the power they possessed could be his. The Wizard stopped the young Thad and, seeing that he was not worthy, sent him back to his car.[1]

Upon arriving back at the car his father and brother believed that Thad had never left the car. Thad caused a commotion, screaming for the Wizard to let him back into the fortress. Thad's distress caused his father to loose focus, causing a collision where Thad's father was paralysed from the legs down. At the same time, Sivana spotted a message in his 8-Ball stating "find us" (presumably sent by the Sins), resulting in him dedicating his life to trying to unlock the secrets of magic and return to the Rock. The accident distanced Thad further from his family, the neglect and torment he faced turned Thad into a remorseless man.[1]
