After graduating from a military boarding school, Canfield moved to Los Angeles, where his sister was now an administrator in the Los Angeles County school system. Canfield began dating his future wife, Elizabeth. Their relationship was rocky due to Canfield's sensitivity and temper, but when Elizabeth became pregnant, they married. Canfield found work at a used car dealership and stabilized in his new life. The couple had two additional children.
However, Canfield's defensiveness at work led to friction with his co-workers and community. After losing his temper with a customer, Canfield was fired. Unable to find new work, Canfield's frustration grew, turning occasionally on his family. Their growing distance intensified his emotional distress. One day, Canfield was confronted by his neighbor about a broken lawnmower. During the course of the argument, Canfield manifested his ability to create a gravitational vacuum. His neighbor was never seen again. The resulting police investigation alerted the Company, and Agent Noah Bennet was tasked with extracting Canfield from police custody.
Despite two years of aggressive testing, the nature of Canfield's vortices remains a mystery. A recent shift in experimentation strategy has determined to focus more on Canfield's control bio-mechanisms.
The subject's separation from his emotional anchors initially led to a severe decline in psychological health, but a counseling regime encouraging hope of an eventual reunion with his family was successful in achieving re-stabilization.
