Short version: my species doesn't have mirror neurons and was incapable of having empathy for humans. We're actually a collective consciousness that doesn't really understand the concept of individuals being important at all, and to us, humans just looked like food. It was impossible for the two species to communicate. In an effort to fix that, Alex Yu took some DNA from his brother, Morgan Yu, and spliced it in with mine, then gave me a collection of Morgan's memories. The idea was to make me a bridge between typhons and humans, so typhons would stop killing humans and destroying Earth as they knew it.
