Basically
He's been a resident of Rural Acre since before the area was Rural Acre
He's a Scottish farmer
Basically, before settlement, he has hated and shoved around because he wasn't like them, he didn't like to harm anyone (is also vegetarian), and looks ugly
basically he was relentlessly harassed by everyone
by the time Acre took hold of that area he was seen as an evil scary old man on a house on the hill
he lives a lonely, sad life.
