Akuma is a nomadic changeling that used to be in the changeling empire. His location of birth and parents are unknown and wants to have no relation to Chrysalis or anyone in the empire due to being disgusted with Chrysalis ruthlessness. Sometimes whenever he's stops to stay in places the other ponies would questions him for being a nomad for one so young. Despite this he ignores it, currently Canterlot is where he would stop by the most as if it was a home to him.
