Kahlen was born to very conservative Protestant parents. Over the years of trying to repress his mischievous behavior, Kahlen began to rebel out in his early adolescence; everything his parents told him not to do he did for the sake of pushing their buttons. He began to sleep around with other classmates quite often and would openly express his homosexuality to the dismay of his parents, who frowned on it and tried to make him repent these 'sinful' feelings, to the point where they sent him away to straight camp. After that, Kahlen's relationship with his parents greatly deteriorated, and at age 18 he dropped out of his senior year in college. Along with that, he began to bring boys home and getting involved with heavy drugs. His parents had finally had enough of their uncontrollable son and kicked him out of their house. From there, Kahlen depended on his boyfriends to find a place to live until he could become financially stable. Eventually he applied for a job at The Wild Side, a homoerotic strip club.
While working there he met another employee named Gerard. The two had hit off very well and became very close friends, and soon to the point where they developed a romantic relationship. The two had dated for 3 years, which was the longest relationship either had. They had moved in together in an apartment several months in their relationship and it was the first time Kahlen had ever had a serious relationship. Nothing seemed to be going wrong, however one day Kahlen had walked in to catch Gerard sleeping with another male. Kahlen was completely devastated, Gerard had admitted to cheating on him as early as four months into their relationship. He further claimed it wasn't a big deal, and that many people have open relationships, though Kahlen had thought they had a relationship that was more than about sex. The two broke up and shortly after, Gerard was offered a modeling career and moved out of state. Kahlen had lost all faith in relationships and developed an even larger sexual prowess to fill the lonely void.
After Gerard moved away Kahlen was finding it difficult to pay the rent by himself; a few months after the incident he posted an advertisement for a roommate, and a few weeks later Damien moved in. Although his parents have tried to make amends with their son and have him back into their life, Kahlen avoids any communication with them at all costs.
