Slaved since childhood, the Slave was tortured everyday of his meaningless life. Pain was present every waking moment, and eventually he grown accustomed to it. His slave master were surprised by his Indomitable Will, they decided to use him for their nefarious reasons.
They decided to hone his defenses since his Will allowed him to adapt, giving him heightened natural defenses.
