Demetri Lankton is the son of Joanne and the an unfortunette victim of child abuse. From a young age, he has known that his mother hated him. The cruel words she said to him greatly lowered his confidence. He does blame himself for her feelings for him, both for the violent outbursts that his autism caused as a child, and for being born at all. Because of the abuse, he is depressed and many times, suicidal, wishing he was never born. He is very malnourished due to his mothers neglect.

Demetri, though never meeting his biological father, knows what he did and what he looks like. Demetri finds him to be a sick and awful man, but finds the stricking similarities between him and his biological stricking and as a result, hates himself for it. He is constantly in fear of ending up like him. He dyes his hair black because his natural hair color is the same as his father's.
