Calypso, whose real name may have been William Sparks used to be an ordinary man with a wife and a daughter, Krista Sparks. As an adult, he had suicidal thoughts and has always wanted to end his misery. He took a job as a stuntman, hoping he would die, but never did. In 1993, he took his daughter driving and he fell asleep and drove directly into a brick wall, killing both of them. His face was severely burned in the accident, and he was apparently dead.
He spent two solid years trapped in hell, until he escaped by outrunning a demon named Minion, and meeting Satan himself. The king of Hell offered Calypso the power to grant wishes on the condition that he'd host the Twisted Metal in order to collect the souls of the drivers
