Backstory[]
Fester was born to two unnamed parents and years later, he had a younger brother named Gomez. At some point in his childhood, Fester's parents sent him to a mental institution, and he never lost contact with his family.
For unknown reasons, Fester didn't attend Nevermore Academy, but he did visit the place when Gomez was a student, once sneaking into his room at Caliban Hall just to see him. As a prank, Gomez locked Fester in the Nightshade Society's lair, where he spent the entire night reading the books, discovering Nathaniel Faulkner's diary among them.
When Ophelia Frump was brought to Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital due to a mental breakdown, Morticia Addams called Fester to check on her, but by the time he managed to infiltrate the asylum, Ophelia has already escaped.
