Early Life
Horatio was born to two business oriented parents, who took him on business trips with them to different countries. One day, his parents disappeared while on a trip in China, leaving him on his own. He made his way to a nearby Shaolin monastery and asked for help. At first, the monks there wanted to call social services in France to return him there, but Horatio said he had no family there. In fact, he didn't know of any family he had. He was five years old.

The monks let him live at the monastery, and took to teaching him wushu with others his age. He also started learning Chinese, and got to the point where he could speak smoothly.

Years passed, and Horatio became very proficient in wushu. He surpassed his peers after a few years of arduous training.

When he was sixteen, Harris visited the monastery and saw Horatio's determination and resolve. A little touched, he put in an application to adopt Horatio. After a little bit of legal work and probably some finagling, the application was put through, and Harris adopted Horatio.

Harris also noted Horatio's prowess in wushu, and decided to teach him jujitsu and Kyokushin karate as well.
