Early Life
Tracey Wayne Lin-Lothario was born to parents Roxie Lin and Don Lothario. The couple was thrown off-guard because they were expecting a girl; the name Tracey stuck. They were doing well-enough. Roxie and Don had their house to themselves after her sister, Shirley, had moved out to go live with her boyfriend (and later on husband). Don had a handsomely paying job as a doctor, and Roxie liked her job as a local musician.

Parent's Divorce
However, the two had a very unstable marriage. Both had commitment issues and often cheated on each other by flirting with other people. Their divorced was finalized when Tracey was 6 years old. Don would later on get remarried to Hal Breckenridge after a few flings with other women. Tracey spent most of his child and teenage years without a father figure around.

Teenage Years
Despite growing up with a single mother, Tracey excelled in school. He was well-liked by his friends, but didn't let his social life affect his studies. He had aspirations to go somewhere in life; he didn't know where. He hoped he would marry his high-school sweetheart of 4 months, La Shawn Parsons, climb the corporate ladder, eventually live in a mansion. That image was shattered, however. Towards the end of high school, La Shawn and Tracey broke up, just weeks away from graduation.

Around the same time, his mother remarried to Harold, finally giving Tracey some more stability in his life.

Young Adulthood
After graduation, Tracey started working in the political career, and moved into the spare apartment in his mother's house. Then he met his coworker, Nadine. It was love at first sight. The two went on a few dates before becoming official.

The couple passed the one-year mark, and they moved in together, now sharing the spare apartment Tracey was living in. There was a huge surprise after Nadine moved in; Tracey's mother discovered she was pregnant. 9 Months later, he proposed to Nadine, and she said yes. Coincidentally, his new brother and sister were born on the same day, since his mother was pregnant with twins. Opal and Gary Lin-Lansing were welcomed into the world. The couple had a simple wedding at a small church.

Adulthood
Tracey received a distressing phone call one morning. The doctors at County Care General Hospital swiftly informed him that his mother and step-father had been involved in a serious car accident, and had passed away from their injuries. As per their will, Opal and Gary were to be placed in the care of their closest living relative. Since Roxie's sister, Shirley, had already passed, the courts granted Tracey and Nadine joint guardianship of the twins, as well as appointing him their power of attorney. Although a bit apprehensive about having to act in loco parentis (acting in the role of a parent), they had no choice but to take them in.

The couple moved into the apartment once inhabited by Tracey's parents. However, they hit yet another snag in their life; Nadine had fallen pregnant. Being under the scrutiny of the public eye, they made the decision to keep the baby. Chad was born 9 months later, although Tracey showed some apprehension. Consequently, Nadine always had a closer bond with their son. While he wasn't very outgoing, he was very bright.

When Chad was 4, Tracey left politics to pursue a career in music; he was quite good as well. With this gift, he soon became a noted lyricist.
