Morrigan:Poor kid. Now he's all grown up and trying to amass phenomenal cosmic power to avoid ever feeling weak or vulnerable again.

Mac's father was a prominent cleric of Bane and member of the Zhentarim. Needless to say, he grew up in an extremely autocratic household. Mac turned to thievery as a way of rebelling while in his teens. Unfortunately, he eventually stole from the wrong people and got caught. His father didn't lift a finger to help when Mac was sentenced to be executed and he had to escape on his own. Alone and outcast, he survived using the only skill-set he had, eventually becoming the skilled thief/assassin he is today.
Teagan was one of many daughters. Her mother, who happened to be the Matron Mother her house, saw her as just one of a series, lacking the talent to set her apart from her sisters. She staged her failed takeover primarily as a way of showing her mother that she really was special.
Remus was pretty much born a psychopath, a trait his parents encouraged.
