===Relationship to Luis Acevedo===
While Halifax has declined to comment on any relationship to the deceased Luis Acevedo, historical records show that Halifax may have been tracking Acevedo for some time, and given Acevedo's age, history, and status as a vampire turned hard light projection, it is assumed that Halifax's previous occupation is that of a [Redacted]. As such the two of them have shared a long history of chase, pursuit, and hunting. While this was a heated exchange at first, eventually Halifax was won over by the charm and playfulness of Acevedo, and upon catching up to them in Baltimore and witnessing Acevedo's death, Halifax felt compelled to take up their old station as a pitcher regardless of other responsibilities.

===Pitching Style===
Halifax's pitching style has been described as "like going through the motions of throwing a ball, with the action itself unconnected and lagging, seemingly unrelated to the actual action of throwing the ball". This style has also been described by the umps as "clearly outside the strike zone".
