Biography
One day when Oscar was visiting Moorin's orphanage in the Kingdom of Velka's capital Velnika, where Dylan and the other children he grew up with were living, he detected an unfamiliar person inside. As Oscar saw that it was a beautiful girl named Miledi, he was about to attack her due to her childish antics, but Dylan and the other kids suddenly arrived to stop him and claimed that she was a guest. During dinner, the kids were bragging to Miledi about how great Oscar was, but it quickly changed when another of the orphans named Ruth claimed that Oscar was weak. Dylan tried to stop Ruth from insulting Oscar, but he refused to listen. Miledi refuted Ruth's accusations by claiming that she could tell how great a person Oscar was, and that she had found someone very special to be with. Everyone else was shocked by Miledi's declaration, to which she responded by jokingly accusing Oscar of already having found himself two young wives in Katy and Corrin. Hearing this caused Dylan to admit that he lost some respect for Oscar if it was true. The conversation ended when Oscar threw Miledi out and told her to stay away.

The next day, Dylan and the other orphans were abducted by the Holy Church and taken to the Kingdom's mines. Oscar managed to track them thanks to the special pendants he gave each of them that acted like homing signals. When he confronted Bishop Forneus Abyssion, who was the mastermind of the kidnappings, he was suddenly attacked by several of the abducted children, including Dylan and Katy. They had all been brainwashed through a mysterious Artifact and were now soulless warriors that were loyal to the church. Oscar tried to hold them off, but eventually surrendered after seeing that they would strain themselves to death from all the fighting. Forneus made Oscar submit to him in exchange for Dylan and Katy's safety, to which Oscar reluctantly agreed to. As he was about the swear his oath of loyalty, however, they were suddenly approached by Miledi, who was carrying the Artifact the church was using on the children with her Gravity Magic and revealed that Forneus actually had no idea on how to reverse the process that transformed the children. Forneus attempted to have Oscar fight for him by threatening to have Dylan and Katy kill themselves, but the two kids were subdued by Miledi as she used her magic to knock them out.

After Oscar and Miledi rescued the kids, Dylan and her family were taken in by Miledi's group, the Liberators, for their protection. Unfortunately, both he and Katy remained unconscious and could not be healed through normal means. They eventually reached the Liberators' hidden village at the bottom of Reisen Gorge, where he was constantly tended to by Corrin. Months later, when the Liberators were attacked by mutated demons from the Igdol Empire, they were forced to evacuate, with Dylan having to be carried out by Ruth. They were eventually met up with members from the Schnee Clan and found refuge with them in their hidden village in the Obsidian Tundra. Soon afterwards, they were met with Meiru Melusine, as she could use her own Ancient Magic to heal Dylan and Katy. While she had been successful at awakening them, the damage they received to their souls was beyond even her ability to restore. As such, the two of them were only capable of executing the simplest of movements, and could not communicate properly.

Overtime, Dylan began to display more of his independence, as well as his innermost desires that he would otherwise have not show in public.
