Kidnapped in the past by someone he thought loved him, tortured for many days, and literally scarred beyond belief; Damon has learned many hurtful things about the human nature. People had never looked at him the same, for scars had wrapped around his entire body. No one exactly knew that though, they only knew of the one carved into his face.

His parents were always abusive towards him, before the kidnapping, that is. They didn't even comfort him when he was found.
