History
Alexander Griffin was a fairly well known English chef from the suburbs of West London. Being a son of Demeter he was skilled in the art of cooking. The small family cafe that he worked at, slowly gained more and more fame. When he was roughly 25, Alexander moved to Bermuda in hopes of becoming an entrepreneur. He managed to successfully start up his own restaurant and soon it became very popular. One night a beautiful woman walked in and caught his eye. The woman herself was Limos and the two had a spark. Limos led Alexander on and the two had a one night stand, before Limos departing from the island.

Feeling saddened, Alexander stored his money for a while before moving back to England. Initially he moved back to his parents' home in the west of London, before finding love with Layla, a daughter of Mnemosyne and moving to Dover. There, he and his girlfriend lived a very happy life. He never hid the fact he slept with Limos and before long, on the 23rd of August 1996, two bouncing twin boys showed up. The two took them in and named them Aaron and Aidan.

Aaron and Aidan grew up loving life and having two parents that adored them. It'd seem that they were out of their house more than they were in it, due to the days out they were always treated with. The two boys were always seen together, never apart. When they were around 9, their father fell into a depression, and one night, he took Layla and the boys to Layla's father's house, and left them there, never coming back. Layla was hit the most with Alexander's departure, but soon went back on her feet, and remained strong for Aaron and Aidan. The little family seemed to be stronger than before, however, Aaron blamed his father leaving on Layla and began to hate her more and more since, but hid it. Whilst Alexander was with them, he forbid Layla to tell them about the Greek world. Now he had left them, Layla told them small pieces at a time until, by the age of 13, they knew a considerable amount, yet she never told them that they were demigods.

When the twins were 13, they were walking down a dusty forested trail after school, when they were attacked by a harpy. The twins called for Layla who was walking in front of the two. Being a demigod who attended camp, she attacked the monster. As the harpy lunged towards Aaron, Layla pushed him out of the way, taking the blow herself. As she fell to the floor bleeding out, she killed the beast. Turning to the boys, she yelled at them to run to their grandfather's and stay there. Also as she was dying, she shouted that she, and them, were demigods. As she died, Aidan took her death as the worst thing ever to happen, whereas Aaron couldn't care less; in his eyes, an annoying person had just gone.

The boys' attacked was overlooked by Mnemosyne who was bitter that her daughter had died. After her death, Aaron pieced together that Mnemosyne was Layla's mother after her death as she was often talked about the Titaness with a fond voice, and remarked how weak she was and how Mnemosyne obviously gave birth to weak children and that she was useless. Due to the disrespect, Mnemosyne cursed him to lose his memory in order to teach him that memory wasn't useless. Lance, having it been many years since he mated with Demeter, had forgot all about the Greek world, and as such forgot the possibility that Aaron had been curse, and as a result, was rendered useless when it came to helping him recover. The only person Aaron vaguely remembered was Aidan, who desperately tried to get him to remember anything. For the next two years, the boys rarely left their grandfather's house, becoming home-schooled. Throughout this time, Aidan still did everything he could to get Aaron to remember certain things from their past. As their 16th birthday rolled through, Aaron barely remembered anything from what'd happen prior to their first monster attack, only believing things Aidan had told him. Practising some sports in their back garden, the two were attacked by three hellhounds. Being unarmed and clueless, the two began to run to the wooded area that was behind the garden. They both ran to the treehouse that they pestered their grandfather to make when they were 15 and stayed there. It wasn't until their demigod uncle came through with a celestial bronze bow and arrow, did the hellhounds retreat. Taking them from their grandfather's custody, he gave them a home until he decided himself that they were ready for camp. When they were 17, he decided it was the right time, and escorted them to camp, where they were claimed as children of Limos.
