He was born into a small colony of cats inside twolegplace. His father had several mates and over fifty kits. Being part of the youngest litter, on top of being a runt, put him at the bottom of the food chain. No matter how hard he tried, he was always outdone and outsmarted. He grew a strange resentment towards groups and families, hating anyone who had a happy home to go to at night. He killed for the first time when he was seven moons, fighting with his littermate over a dead rat. That was accidental, and he mourned his sister deeply, but his older siblings suddenly seemed to respect him more. However, as time went on, the usual fights between his siblings continued and his kill was forgotten. Sayine realized that if he wanted to be respected, then he needed to keep killing. By ten moons, he had killed a total of seven cats, six being his siblings and the other being one of his father's many mates. One

leaf-bare, when food was scarce, a huge fight broke out between his siblings and parents over a dog carcass. It was bloody, but he somehow survived. He doesn't know how many cats he killed himself in that fight, but he does know that for the first time, as the blood of his hate-filled siblings covered his fur, he felt happy. Exhilarated, even. The only other cats that survived were two of his 'mothers', his father, and three older siblings that he never talked to that much. His father became extremely abusive toward his remaining mates and kits, blaming them for his fall in power. His father ended up killing both of his remaining mates and two of his daughters before turning to his remaining sons and ordering them to duel. Sayine's sibling tried to convince him that their father was evil and they needed to just leave, but he refused to listen. He killed his brother at the age of fifteen moons before turning to his father, expecting praise. However, he was soon disappointed as the older tom laughed and lunged for him. Sayine finally escaped, but the innocence and care he was never given the chance of cannot be replaced.
