Since he was young, Atis Gray's (Tristan Hunter) stepfather (Drew Sebastian) Pierce Warner has been protective of him. He had to be. After all, Atis's mother suffered a traumatic fate. Pierce wanted to make sure that nothing happened to Atis. In order to protect him, Pierce enrolled Atis in a program where a small tracking chip was inserted behind Atis's ear. Pierce has continued to track Atis, and has learned a lot about his stepson, including intimate details that have piqued his interest in a very unfatherly way.
