Long story short: many years ago, his grandfather of a geologist once stumbled upon a crystal ring that was a portal of sorts, then everything went full Darkest Dungeon and he ended up siding with some entity of evil and all that, dabling into research of outwordly and vicious creatures creatures and 'uplifting humanity' through unholy union with said creatures (which explains Lance's simbiote thing). Yes, it was pretty cult-like: imagine the ruthlessness and experimentation of the Cabal from Blood, combined with the sibtle fanaticism of Unitology from Dead Space. So yeah, Lance was supposed to be inducted but he said 'fuck no' and started kicking eldritch ass (or face). Oh, and he got here after smashing the crystal portal and one particular shard zapped him.
