Donald DeLuca

                                                             

Poor Donald DeLuca.  An unloved child that was raised in an orphanage.  A slow learner and with a massive build even as a child he was regarded as an oddity.  And children can be cruel, as Donald had no friends in the orphanage.  He became a loner and kept his distance from everyone else.  The other children noticed this and saw him talking to himself.  The boys in the home began calling him names for talking to himself, for eating more than everyone else, for being slow, and for being different than everyone else.  As they approached him one day when they caught him talking to his imaginary friend they heard him call his imaginary friend Donald.

"Hey retard," the main bully yelled "You're so stupid, you can't even come up with a name for you imaginary friend so you use your own."  When the boy known as Donald turned the bullies saw a new look in his eyes.  Donald spring from his seat with a speed he had never shown before.  As he jumped he reached out for the bully's throat and landed on top of him with his hands locked around the boy's neck.  He started pounding the boy's head into the floor while screaming over and over "LEAVE DONALD ALONE!!  LEAVE DONALD ALONE!!" The other boys started hitting Donald but it was no use, he felt none of it. 

Some of the other boys ran to get help and when the orphanage headmaster returned, Donald was still sitting on top of the bully but now he was covering his own face with his hands.  He looked at the headmaster and tears were streaming down his face.  As soon as the headmaster saw the boy lying on the floor with the blue face and blood streaming from the back of his head he began to raise his voice.  Like a switch was flipped, Donald's tears dried up and a smile slowly formed.  He headed straight for the headmaster and shoved him down the stairs and made a break for the front door of the orphanage.  Pity any boy, girl, woman, or man who stood in Donald's way.  The massive boy pushed them all to the side and ran out into the streets.  He ran until he could run no more.  Now alone on the streets, twelve year old Donald Deluca had no idea how he got to where he was, but by he blood on his hands he knew he could never go back.

 

As a grown man, Donald was now larger than anyone he met.  He had made it to adulthood but there were many times he didn't remember the blood on his clothes came from.  He had met many different people over the years who had sought to take advantage of him only to never see them again while his pocket was full of money.  He had no idea what was happening but he soon ignored it and learned to enjoy the times he did remember.

One day he spotted a woman with pink hair and he instantly became infatuated with her.  He approached her and tried to talk but it only came out as stuttering.  She had almost dismissed him when four men dressed in army fatigues approached her.  When they tried to handcuff her Donald exploded.  Issuing clear threats and curses while he threw the men around the bar, the pink haired woman saw a whole new human being other than the lug who had approached her.  As Donald quickly dispatched the men and anyone who looked at him wrong, he saw the woman looking at him in a way no one had ever looked at him.  As he looked at her he said "We gotta go" at the same time she did.  As they came out of the door of the bar he headed left, but she grabbed him and pulled him right.  She sat on her chopper and commanded him to get on.  They sped away and she took him right to The Dreadnok Compound.

By the time he got off the bike, Donald ahd no idea where he wa sat or what he was doing there.  As he tried to explain to the pink haired woman she saw the same goof who had originally approached her.  She introduced herself as Zarana and demanded to know what happened to that "huge pig of a man".  He stuttered and stammered trying to explain himsaelf but he couldn't form any words.  When Ripper and Torch walked by they started laughing at Zarana for her choice in men and Donald snapped.  If not for Zarana calming Donald down then Ripper and Torch would have been dead. 

As she sat with him calming him she softly cooed inhis ear "Now there's my piggie,"  a phrase that he grew accustomed to.  Zarana realized that Donald was split personality and she was infatuated with the monster that came out of  Donald.  She started calling the monster Pig and after seeing his love of the open road named the monster Road Pig.  Road Pig loves her like a sister an will do anything to protect her.  Donald now can explain all of the black outs due to Zarana explaining Road Pig to him and his stuttering has stopped but Zarana still does not like him.  The first time Donald found himself steering a chopper down the road he nearly had a heart attack but Road Pig kicked in and saved him.  Now Donald has grown comfortable around the 'noks and the only time Road Pig comes out is when Zarana calls for him.
