Origins:

The man known as Damian Tryp was born as Dafydd ap Andras in in a small village south of Wales in the 14th Century. Dafydd's mother died in childbirth, and at birth he began to manifest is mutant powers. Many of the townspeople blamed him for failed crops, plagues and called him a demon. Wanting to end the plague effecting the village, the towns people demand to sacrifice the young child. When Dafydd's father, Andras Tryp, refused to give in to the townspeople's demands, they set fire to their home killing Andras and nearly killing Dafydd. Dafydd was saved by teleporting from the home with help from his older self.

Little is known about Tryp's activities in the intervening centuries, but he did found Singularity Investigations, a company the clashed with X-Factor Investigations.
