* MommasBoy: Raised solely by his single mother, and it shows in, among other things, his complete lack of knowledge about baseball. However, he's not the typical whipped baby, but a well rounded man who loves his mother... and happens to still live with her because her last partner stole all her money and left her destitute and Castle gave her a place to live.

He was run off the road, dragged from his flaming car, and then hours later paid for the SUV that abducted him to be crushed. Then he disappears entirely, only to resurface two months later in a dinghy off the coast of Delaware. During those two months, he contracted dengue fever (which is only found in the tropics), got shot and recovered from it, and spent some time in Montreal for God alone knows what reason. Then, at his request, his abductors erase all his memories for those two months, and he gives them a TrustPassword so they can prove to him that he asked to forget.

He loves his mother and tolerates her quirks, giving her a place to live after her last partner robbed her blind, and is an extremely devoted father and clearly did something right there in order for Alexis to be such a remarkable young woman.

It took her to a dark place and she had to claw her way out. She became a fairly joyless, if incredibly competent, detective, until Castle broke her out of it.
