Alcatraz was left to the Hushland's foster care system when he was very young by his [[Attica Smedry|father]], and spent most of his life being passed from home to home, unaware of his lineage or homeland in the Free Kingdoms. Because he has the [[Smedry Talent|Talent of Breaking]], it was difficult for any family to deal with him for long, and he was often kicked out after accidentally breaking something important to his foster parents. Eventually, he develops a fear of being hurt, and subconsciously breaks things so that he is kicked out before he can form strong emotional bonds.
=== Meeting Grandpa Smedry ===

On his thirteenth birthday, Alcatraz received a [[Sands of Rashid|bag of sand]], with a note saying it was from his parents. After burning down his foster parents’ kitchen, his caseworker, [[Shasta Smedry|ms. Fletcher]] arrived and secretly stole the sand. He learned he’d be moving to a new family.{{book ref|a1|1}}

The next day, [[Leavenworth Smedry]] arrived at his house and introduced himself as Alcatraz’s grandfather. He tried to get Alcatraz to leave with him after seeing that the sands had been stolen, but Alcatraz didn’t go, thinking the man to be crazy. A librarian agent tried to kill Alcatraz with a gun{{book ref|a1|2}}, and Grandpa Smedry saved Alcatraz by crashing his car through the wall. Alcatraz joined his grandfather, who drove him to his base and explained about the Sands of Rashid to Alcatraz. Alcatraz learned more about talents and Oculatory lenses. At Grandpa Smedry’s base, he met [[Sing Sing Smedry]] and received a pair of Oculator’s Lenses.{{book ref|a1|3}} Alcatraz met other members of Grandpa Smedry’s team, including [[Bastille]].{{book ref|a1|4}} After receiving a few more Oculatory lenses, Alcatraz joined the others in an infiltration of the local library, where the Sands of Rashid were being held.{{book ref|a1|6}}

They got thrown in a dungeon, and Alcatraz came to realizations about himself personally, about how he destroyed stuff on purpose so that his foster parents would get rid of him quickly, allowing him to move on before he felt any affection for them.{{book ref|a1|11}} Grandpa Smedry arrived, and was captured and subsequently put under Blackburn’s torture.{{book ref|a1|12}} Alcatraz made his prison guard angry, and Bastille grabbed him from inside the bars and knocked him out, then freed them.{{book ref|a1|13}} They followed Grandpa Smedry’s footprints, having to face an [[Alivened]] on the way.{{book ref|a1|15}} They found both Grandpa Smedry and [[Quentin Smedry]] evading torture using their talents, and freed them.{{book ref|a1|17}} They fled to a room holding Blackburn’s lense collection, and Blackburn arrived.
