Background: Unlike most kids that grew up in the East, Taehyun excelled in his life here. He learnt at a young age to keep his head down, stay out of the gang and he'd be fine. If he witnessed something, he walked away. Heard something he put his fingers in his ears. He made sure that everyone knew they didn't need to worry about him. He was perfectly fine to just drift through his life. Only, drifting wasn't something that Taehyun was very good at. From a young age he showed incredible understanding in rather complex topics, and from there taught himself what he could. His parents couldn't understand where he was learning these things from, or how he was picking them up so fast but he continued to do so. 

His parents couldn't afford to send him to school, and no one with enough intelligence to teach him adequately within the east was in their budget. The west was of course out of the question, at first. His parents found out about a lovely lady in the west who taught kids from the east once a week. Taehyun of course fell into these lessons head first. Before long she was offering to teach him more, for longer. She offered for him to attend a school in the west, but his parents were a little worried about that. So they saved up to get him a computer so that he could connect to the classroom and learn that way. The teacher had helped as much as possible so that this could happen. Once again, class held his attention as long as it could before he had exceeded its learning. So he just started on his own. He researched his own topics and taught himself.

Taehyun was only 12 when he pulled off his first successful Hack. Something simple that just about anyone could do. Then he tried more, and more, slowly doing more dangerous things to test his luck. It was around this time he found his love for learning anything. Languages, instruments, sports, literally anything he could get his hands on. Taehyun learnt early to stay out of the gang , but Spectre could act for him. He made sure he was safe, and protected, and he started working for some low-level people, slowly getting into higher things, and bigger gangs. Nothing was too hard for him. Each person he came across that was hard to beat, he practised and bested until he was the best. The best apart from one other. Shadow. 

Taehyun managed to avoid interactions with Shadow for some time, but eventually, they were bound to crash and crash they did. Taehyun had never come so close to his identity being found out. He'd severed the connection, and found a new home. Then he worked to make sure it would never happen again. And it never has. Now he actively searches for Shadow to play around with him. They both know they can't beat one another, not yet, so its just a way for Taehyun to play around and torment Shadow while he's working. He'd never tell a soul but he almost worships Shadow, his skill and technique are the very way Taehyun was able to hold him off for so long, using that to learn and adapt. Since studying Shadow's hacks, Taehyun has been able to get better himself once more.

Now he works for 'someone' though as far as the world knows he is completely unattached from any of the gangs. He rarely seems to take tasks from the bigger gangs unless there is a valid reason, in his book, as to why he should help them. Money rarely buys his services if he doesn't trust you, or doesn't trust in the mission.

Past
First memory: Sitting on the floor of his parent's apartment as they watched him solving complex maths problems they'd never been able to understand themselves. Followed by hearing them talking later that night about what to do with him and his obvious abilities.
Most important childhood memory: The first time his parents had managed to save up to get him a computer. It was old, second-hand, but it worked for Taehyun. It got him in online classes, which he quickly excelled in, gave him his first job, tutoring, and eventually became his livelihood.

Other relationships with other characters:
Soobin: One of the only people he completely trusts to not him over or abuse the information he gets, hence why Soobin is the only person who knows just who he is. While Taehyun doesn't walk around swearing loyalty to Soobin under either of his names, he has told Soobin privately before that his priority is what Soobin needs and keeping those Soobin wants safe, safe.
Shadow: His Rival, and sadly probably the closest thing to a best friend that Taehyun has. Because of the whole secret identity thing, it's hard to let people in, but with Shadow, they are both at that point already. Both are good enough to hold one another off but not good enough to best the other. Personal data doesn't matter, not to Taehyun anyway. Shadow is a game, a challenge, and the only person that could probably understand half the things Taehyun goes through, or talks about. While he wants to one day beat Shadow, he really doesn't want that either, because then he has no one again.
Yeosang: Another person that Taehyun trusts pretty well. He'd never admit to who he is, but he does use his skills as Spectre to make sure Yeosang is ok quite often, and has reached out to him as a hacker before. On the outside, they are just skater boys who one conveniently is a piercer/tattoo artist and the other loves those things. Their friendship is a little strange but it works
