After his parents died when he was a teenager, Midgar learned to fend for himself, which led to him getting wrapped up in the seedier elements of society. Getting in numerous back alley brawls led to him developing a penchant for brawling from an early age. Developing those skills through mastery of Voln Fu, he has always relied on his fists in combat. Though he has knowledge of martial arts, his fighting style relies more on natural boxing skills, as well as stealth and deception. Because of this he tends to use knuckle-dusters.

Once highly active in the Rogue Guild, he spent many years assisting in its operations. At a point where the guild saw a sharp decline, he founded the Black Hand with the help of several other guild members.
