i really like the idea of them having grown up around that lifestyle especially because i wanted to make my guy lean towards being a villain. he has illusion manipulation, hypnosis, and telepathy as his abilities and i was originally going to go the bank robber route but his contributions to the organization could be pretty endless. he has never been the type to be afraid of getting his hands dirty, that's for sure, so having to have done more of the serious things for survival would have helped him really develop his abilities to their almost full potential at a younger age.
