Biography[]
He was born Allen Alvarez but went by his mother's maiden name, Powell, after his parents divorced. Allen was born in 1948 to Lenny Alvarez and Ms. Powell. Lenny was accused of starting the Great Attaway Fire in the Rubber Factory he worked (in reality it was Jane Hovac, who wanted revenge against Frances Chambers for having an affair with Jane’s Fiancé) in 1950, people started blaming him and his family going as far as to verbally abuse them, vandalize their house and even tried to set it on fire. Lenny was imprisoned for 10 years. Allen’s mother Ms. Powell divorced his father, took Allen with her and he and his mother moved away from Attaway. Allen later moved back after his mother became unable to look after him, moving in with his father, Lenny Alvarez, after he was released from prison. He later went back to being Allen Alvarez after his father shot himself and had to go to Hospital. Allen began living on his own, and didn’t tell his mother about her ex-husband, as he wouldn’t be able to stay in Attaway otherwise.
He eventually married Cathy Fitzroy and they had at least one daughter and granddaughter.
