Amadeus Cho is a Korean-American born and raised in New York. His parents Helen and Philip Cho emigrated from South Korea before he was born.They showed their passion for historical names by naming their children after the composer Mozart. Amadeus has a twin sister named Madame Curie Cho, Maddy for short and though they are the same age Amadeus was born first and likes to annoy Maddy with this by calling her 'little sister' but Maddy quickly got over it and countered with calling him 'big brother' it soon became their thing. The Cho's lived a normal happy life until both children showed signs that they were different both with an incredibly high I.Q. As they grew their parents realized they were geniuses and supported them every step of the way. At age 10 Amadeus participated in an online quiz show called Brain Fight, unfortunately what he hadn't known was that it was all a trap. The online game was created by Excello, a soap corporation it was claimed to reward young geniuses with a $5,000 reward placing first. But the man who organized it was in fact another genius and former child prodigy Pythagoras Dupree, whose real goal was to rid the world of others whose intellect might rival his own. After Amadeus won, Dupree sent his men to burn down the Cho's house, both fortunately and unfortunately Philip was the only one in the house during that time. But what made things worse was on that day he was decorating the house for his children's birthday...Philip was assumed dead despite not having found a body everyone assumed his body was completely burned in the fire. On that day of their 11th birthday Amadeus lost his dad forever...

Or so he thought...
