Biography
Theo Korba lives with his father, Charlie Korba and brother Silas in an apartment complexundefined. He is 3 years older than Silas and a heavy smokerundefined.

When Theo was 13 years old, he was part of a group who bullied him. When he was alone, he would set fires - it was something he felt he could control, that made him feel brave. He set fire to the Korba family shed, burning it down. Later he hid in other sheds and did the same thing. It went on for some months, but his parents and neighbors had no idea it was him doing it. One day he was at a shed very close to a local church. He was lighting fires, and a chemical stored in the she spread out, seeping to the other side of the church underneath the confession box. Not only did the church burn down, but the priest who was inside the confession box died, and so did Mrs Korba, Theo and Silas's mother. Theo tried to commit suicide two weeks later, and Silas saved his life. After that Theo confessed what happened. Silas called North Taylor, and North arranged for the Academy to intervene, resulting in Theo moving to America with Charlie and Silasundefined.

Mr Blackbourne went to Greece and spent several months arranging for the move, which required a lot of favors. Part of the agreement made was that Theo would attend therapy for his addiction to fire-lighting, and that the Blackbourne team would monitor Theo and keep him under controlundefined.
