Background[]
Not much is known about Starr's childhood except that he was orphaned at the age of 4. At one point, he joined Germany's anti-terrorism unit GSG-9, where he eventually rose up to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
In 2004, Starr was invited to try out for the Grail, an organization tasked with protecting the bloodline of Jesus Christ. Although he was successful in all of his trials, his methods were rather unorthodox.
