Early Childhood

Chief Mark Grey was not always called Chief Mark Grey. Bachcha Grey was the name given to him by his parents as a baby. Bachcha Grey was the middle child of the divine Chief Sand Grey and the lovely Calla. Bachcha Grey was destined since birth to become the next Chief of the North Sentinel Island. Despite being the second born of Chief Mark Grey, Bachcha Grey has an older sister. In Sentinel government the first born or oldest male of the royal family becomes Chief after the Chief reaches the age of 70 and must abdication this power, is murdered, or dies of natural cause.

Bachcha Grey viewed his older sister, Mahila as his mentor. Young Mahila worked in the fields with her mother, Calla. In Pre-Alien War women's role in the community were to be farmers, merchant, property holders, and raise the children. Being the first born female of the royal family, Mahila also has the privilege of being the high priestess. As the high priestess, Mahila is the living embodiment of the Great Turtle. It is the High priestess role to explain the world through magic and spirit smoke. Bachcha learned from Mahila on how to understand the world but Bachcha wanted to understand the world through science.
