Following an unknown skirmish, the old Shining Force were able to seal demon Zeon in the abyss and locked the gateway in the Ancient Tower. As time went on, peace prevailed and people forgot about the horrors of Zeon's time. Maximillian, one of the members of that team, set up a family on the island, which included his grandson, Bowie. Many decades after the famous victory, Bowie became a warrior himself, although quite inept. He grew up with his neighbour, Taya, and the pair would occasionally hold battles of strength in the street.
