History:
Scott Hensley was left on the doorstep of St. Maria's convent in Ontario Canada at the age of 3 weeks. Most of the sisters stayed away from Scott due to his appearance. They were not cruel to him, making sure he had everything he needed but no one spent time with him. When Scott was 13 years old he left the convent and joined a travelling carnival as one of the sideshow attractions. He was not treated badly at the carnival, where he performed feats of strength under the name Taurus. However it did lead to him becoming something of a recluse, and a feeling of resentment over his physical appearance, which he is still not comfortable with today. He left the carnival when Lord William Marushi came to him and offered him a chance to use his talents to gain power and respect rather than being a sideshow freak. Minotaur has become more confident and outgoing with the Hellions, although it remains to be seen how he will respond after recovering from a near fatal injury at the hands of Mammoth.
