History[]
Calypso, real name William Sparks, was born between the years of 1956-1957. He had a younger sister whom, when he was 12 years old, after stealing his parent's car to run over a copperhead, accidentally ran over his sister's head. When his parents discovered this, they made him clean up the driveway of his sister's blood. Due to this tragedy, Calypso began to associate his sisters doll with her actual self. Two years after they buried her, they were still grieved and argued every time they went to put flowers on her grave. Ridden with guilt, William decided to try and join his sister, by blinding his father while he was driving, causing an accident killing his mother and father. William was disappointed that he was not among the body count, vowing to his sister that next time he would do it right. He then decided to hitchhike until one truck stopped and offered Calypso a ride. The trucker, named Al, gave William a job fixing cars in a demolition derby. One day, Al was drunk and shot William in the arm ranting about him listening to music. The next day, Al would apologize to William, giving him his old vehicle and helmet, giving him the nickname of 'Calypso'.
For 20 years, Calypso participated in the Demolition Derby, hoping he would die. However, he only managed to keep killing everyone in the derby except for himself. Eventually, Calypso went to Vegas and got married to a woman named Joanie, and together they had a daughter named Krista. Eventually, Calypso would grow tired of his wife and often cheated on her. One day,, his wife was in the audience and a tire flew off of one the cars, smashing into her and killing her. Calypso and Krista were forced to live their lives out of suitcases and motel rooms. One night, Calypso went to a bar and left Krista in the back seat to sleep. When he left the bar, he saw his wife and she told him that she was in Hell and that he should be too. Calypso agreed, and she told him all he had to do was close his eyes and let go of the wheel.
Calypso went to Hell after dying, but he was chased by a demon named Minion, who he eventually escaped. Satan, who watched Calypso run from his underling, was impressed, and gave Calypso a drink, and asked Calypso to host a demolition derby that could rake in more souls for Hell. The winner, however, would get one wish, no matter the price, size or even reality. Calypso ran the tournament for 10 years, during which much suspicion was raised about him and his tournament, mainly because the wishes always seemed to backfire at the winners, usually killing them. Because of this, many agencies such as Interpol and the CIA started to investigate the tournament and attempting to arrest Calypso, but to no avail. The only way anyone could ever get near Calypso was by winning the Twisted Metal tournament.
Calypso would grant any wish the winner desired, no matter what it is, even distorting reality to grant it. However, he would usually make so that the wish would backfire at the winner, causing harm to as many people as possible, usually killing them. Typically, Calypso is bound by a rule that permits him from breaking wishes, but he has often evaded it.
