Condensed Background
Bishop was a regular punk kid in Queens prior to the Calamity. He was pugnacious and didn’t have many friends but many enemies and he didn’t see eye to eye with his parents. The Calamity happened on his 13th Birthday, December 12 2012, and he and his parents were among the lucky few who survived the fall of New York City. They made it to Washington D.C where they struggled to survive for a year until Bishop got fed up with just being a bystander. He wanted to enlist into the army and fight against the demonic horde but his parents forbade it which led to a big fight. He snuck out that night to enlist but, when demons burst through the defensive wall and killed hundreds, his parents among the casualty.
He enlisted in the academy after burying his parents where he met his first real pair of friends, Matt Peterson and Kylie Crest. He shared a bond with them as they were survivors of the same attack and enlisted at the same time. The trio also graduated at the same time three years later and ended up being part of the same unit because of their extraordinary teamwork. On their way back from a mission, as they passed through the ruins of New York City, their unit was ambushed by demons and they were separated from a large part of the unit, Kylie being seriously injured and unable to fight. Most perished in the attack and Bishop later found the remaining soldiers were tortured for entertainment.
With no other option, Bishop guided their group out of the ruins where he killed many demons and ended becoming a pseudo-demon himself. When they arrived at the capital, Bishop was detained and recruited into S.T.R.I.K.E by Queen, who later became his mentor and mother-figure. After saying goodbye to Kylie and Matt and gained his new name “Bishop”, he threw himself into his new role becoming a fearsome assassin. In his time with S.T.R.I.K.E Bishop would undergo many missions and commit many sins under the belief he was serving humanity however, it was also in this time that his life started to perk up and he began to feel more alive.
Seven years would pass before Bishop’s world came crashing down. On a mission to acquire a weapon that could kill the demon lord Fenrir, Tower betrayed them and took down the members of his team one by one. Bishop managed to escape thanks to Queen’s sacrifice but the event left him broken physically and emotionally. When he finally stopped running, he found himself in the ruins of the Vatican in the care of a scavenger, Damian. Bishop stayed with him until he got his strength back but heavily considered just killing himself then however, the advice Damian gave him to just live by following his own instincts and will strangely resonated with Bishop.
He parted ways with the scavenger and headed to Tokyo; Japan, the homeland of Queen, where he ran into the Kimura family. The family ran a diner which he ate at but didn’t have money to pay so instead, they put him to work. They found him to be proficient and interesting, strangely taking him into their home in exchange for employment. Bishop experienced true happiness with the Kimura family and was almost content to live his life with them but, the Japanese government caught wind of his existence and offered him a job to eradicate a yakuza family that was harboring demons within the walls. He declined and told them to stay away, choosing his current life however when a demon appeared in the middle of the day and threatened to kill Natsumi, the elder daughter of the Kimura family, Bishop had an epiphany. She was saved by the patrolling guard but Bishop had found his true calling, eliminating evil and preserving the peace of the innocent. He slaughtered the yakuza family that night and said his farewells to the Kimura’s, becoming a hitman who targets demons and those he deems as evil.
