Known Background
Nothing is known about his history before he lived in Los Angeles starting in the 80s. He did odd jobs, working in construction or gardening, and kept to himself, though he was known at several bars and would often discuss sports with the patrons. He was paid under the table, had no driver's license and nobody ever had an address for him. In 1996, he went on a drinking bender and hooked up with a waitress named Juliette Harris. She ended up pregnant and when he found out about it, six months later, he tried to kill her in her home. She was badly injured but escaped and a manhunt started which found that he'd been living in the Old Griffith Park Zoo but he'd already disappeared. At this point, C.O.D. noticed oddness about Alan's habitation in the zoo and took over the pursuit. Meanwhile, Juliette Harris and her newborn son were put into witness protection as Kathy and Justin Davis in Portland, Oregon. Sixteen years pass as the trail runs cold. Three months ago (Feb 7), Justin was abducted on his way home from school. C.O.D. believed he was attempting to cross the border into Canada but lost his trail again.
Portland
Alan took Justin to an abandoned building at the Oregon State Hospital and locked the two of them into adjoining cells so that Justin could see him transform without being killed after explaining about the curse and that Justin would inherit it. Unfortunately, he got loose and killed several people in the immediate area before returning, blood-soaked, to take Justin and flee. The boy was nearly catatonic from the trauma and it was slow-going as Alan cared for him. For the March 8th full moon, he locked himself into an abandoned mine, leaving Justin alone in a nearby shelter. Justin ran away and it took Alan three days to find him in the wilderness, by which time Justin was badly weakened from exposure. Alan nursed him back to health again and Justin began to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. They arrived in San Francisco on April 2nd.
San Francisco
Alan and Justin have been hiding out in the old Hunter's Point Naval Shipyards where Justin has been getting progressively sicker from exposure to asbestos and radiation. They were preparing for the May 6th full moon when Justin developed a fever and suffering from diarrhea and vomiting. Alan, alarmed that the boy would die, took him to the hospital and then desperately looked for a place to lock himself up. He stumbled on Daisy's church just as the moon rose, triggering his change. Justin is still at the hospital under the name Justin Smith. His condition and Alan's quick departure have led to the physician on duty contacting the social services.
