Griffin Holloway was born in September of an unspecified year (1995-2005) in the U.S. South as the eldest of three to Robert Holloway and Linda Holloway, two humans of a working-class or lower-middle-class background.

He grew up in the town of Mill Creek, located in the Piedmont Atlantic region of the U.S. South. In elementary and middle school, Griffin was noted as quiet but naturally intelligent. After going through his primary school's gifted program, Griffin was funneled to the county's magnet school, Northern Regional High School, intended for gifted students from families unable to afford private academies. He was noted as skilled at the cello and in music in general, later receiving several music-related scholarships, though he is said to have viewed it as more of a natural hobby than a passion. In sophomore year, Griffin went through an unspecified personal crisis that led to his decision to drop out of school, suggested to have resulted in depressive nihilism and general loss of motivation.

Griffin later re-enrolled instead in the dual adult high school diploma/associates program, where he met Ruby Cedar, a dual-enrolled doe from neighboring Cedar Grove, who he'd quickly befriend.

At some point after graduation, he possibly attended a university and/or enlisted or commissioned into the military, suggested to be the Marines. Little else is known.
