Huge hole in biography section

This section, ostensibly biographical, contains nothing about its central character's early life, only mentioning "his family". Who were his parents? Where did he grow up? What education? Siblings? These facts are likely known (clearly, some information has been obtained from the family), and should be included. If the family is refusing to provide this information, the article should say so. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:42, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
