EARLY LIFE
Owen G. Shaw was born in 1976 and raised in London, the second of four Shaw siblings—Deckard (30), Owen (28), Hattie (25), and Cole (20).
Raised under the sharp, calculating eye of their mother Magdalene "Queenie" Shaw ████████████████████(REDACTED — FORMER MI6 OPERATIONS COVER) and their unnamed father (deceased), the Shaw siblings grew up on strict discipline, sharper expectations, and a private family code they lived by long before any of them entered government service.
From childhood, Owen was restless, reckless, and ferociously competitive. He picked fights with older kids in school, chased danger the way others chased adrenaline, and constantly tested the limits of rules he never had patience for.
Deckard—already disciplined and already dangerous—spent his youth dragging Owen out of fights, taking beatings in his place, and even taking the blame for Owen's early crimes like shoplifting.
The pattern was always the same:
• Owen pushed boundaries.
• Deckard cleaned the blood off the floor.
• Hattie studied every lesson.
• Cole watched them all.
Owen never forgot the code Deckard drilled into him: "Every man has a line he will not cross—but he must know where it lies."
It shaped him more than he ever admitted.

MILITARY CAREER
Owen entered military service young and ascended fast due to his raw intelligence, adaptability, and unbreakable resolve.
He served as:
• Major, British Armed Forces
• Special Operations – Mobility Division
• S.A.S Mobility Lead (Kabul & Basra)
Owen's specialty was a unique form of vehicular warfare, blending:
• Military driving
• Mechanical expertise
• On-the-fly vehicle modification
• Rapid assault manoeuvre logistics
• Extreme-condition combat (desert / urban / high-speed pursuit)
He built a reputation as a precision tactician — cold, brilliant, decisive. But his tendency toward unconventional methods, unorthodox command, and "creative disobedience" eventually got him dishonourably discharged.
Owen never forgave the betrayal.
And he never forgot who taught him to keep fighting anyway: Deckard.

MERCENARY ASCENT
After discharge, Owen weaponized his military skillset for a different market.
He orchestrated a series of elite, high-level heists across Europe that caught the attention—and fear—of:
• CIA
• DSS
• DEA
• Interpol
• UK Intelligence
Every time they closed in, he adapted. Every time they shifted tactics, he stayed one move ahead.
Owen learned systems the same way he learned people: Break them down. Rebuild them stronger. Always stay moving.
His operations became notorious for:
• Clean execution
• Surgical precision
• No wasted moves
• No unnecessary bodies
• Maximum psychological leverage
He wasn't just a criminal. He was a strategist without a flag.

RELATIONSHIP WITH RILEY HICKS
During this period, Owen entered a covert relationship with Riley Hicks, a DSS operative with top marks in every category.
Shaw saw potential — she saw opportunity.
Whether it was loyalty, manipulation, or both, Riley fed him intelligence from inside the agency. Together they bypassed international systems like they were civilian firewalls.
Their relationship was complex:
• Part partnership
• Part romance
• Part weapon
• Part escape
It ended the way most things in his life do: violently.

FAST & FURIOUS CANON (MOVIE EVENTS — NOT STORY EVENTS)
(My continuity retains past events but does not follow the film's future timeline.)
Owen worked with Arturo Braga in Mexico, helping identify informants and elevating Braga's ambitions from local to global operations.
He uncovered Letty Ortiz as an undercover agent. Braga ordered her execution.
Letty survived. Owen found her in the hospital. He was sent to finish the job.
He didn't.
Her amnesia made her useful—blank slate, clean skillset, no ties.
Owen recruited her into his precision-driver heist crew. A relationship based on necessity—not trust.
