He was born in Sofia in 1890 as Sacha Lupei. His father worked as a stableman. He and his older brother were educated at a neighborhood church. His parents were unable to afford schooling for his younger siblings, three sisters and a brother. His older brother had an aptitude for machines and became an engineer with a railroad company. Sacha turned to the military where he keenly picked up on skills that would get him noticed so that he was trained as an assassin.

He was an assassin under the regime ofTsar Ferdinand and the government of Vasil Radoslavov. His skills were of great use during the Balkan Wars. He was often called upon to silence opposition in the Ottoman, Grecian, Serbian and Turkish areas.

After the Balkan Wars, he was loaned to the allied German forces to operate against their foes during the Great War. He worked in Russia six months hunting those the Central Powers deemed worthy targets.

In 1918, the government resigned and the military mutinied. He was out of the country when this happened and avoided the purge of Radoslavov's followers.

He tried to get to his family in Sofia, but was nearly captured by men of Stamboliyski's government. He narrowly escaped capture by rolling between the wheels of a moving train. After that, he wandered without purpose. Once more he was nearly captured in Slovakia, this time by the local officials. A priest named Father Karlov hid him from pursuit and treated the wounds of both his body and spirit. He and the priest formed a strong friendship, and he regained his focus.

With Father Karlov's help, he emigrated to the United States by 1921, lost in the mass of war refugees. He settled in New York in a Bulgarian ghetto where he established himself with the local Catholic Church. While the Father Marek is only Polish; Traicho still finds great solace in participating with the Church as much as he can.

It was through Father Marek that he was able to get work as a bodyguard. Eventually, he became the guard of William Keene. He saved Mr. Keene's life one time during a drive by shooting aimed at a gangster Mr. Keene was meeting with. William Keene is the owner of Keene Shipping. Anyone who wants something into or out of the country without customs looking too closely knows Mr. Keene.

Traicho is trying to save a life for every life he took. He finds breaking the habit of killing quickly a hard one to break.
