Family History
Scott's lineage can be traced back to Ireland where his family were one of its first settlers from England. After several thousand years, his family fled Ireland and moved to Canada in order to escape the potato famine in 1845.

Later, in 1939, his ancestors enlisted in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Regiment of the Canadian Army and fought in World War II. One of his ancestors was also a member of the elite Canadian-American unit, the Devil's Brigade. This became a source of inspiration for wanted to be a member of a Special Operations Unit who greatly served his people when he first enlisted in the UNSC Marine Corps. Even though the unit was eventually disbanded, it started a trend in his family where all of its member enlisted in the military.

Later, in 2162, his ancestors were part of a volunteer force of the Canadian Army to aid in the Rain Forest Wars. During the battle, his ancestor garnered several medals, including the Colonial Cross from the Canadian Government, and a Medal of Honour from the Americans. Scott still keeps these medals in his family home, where they are put on display alongside all those earned by the family in different wars.
