When his father died of black lung, he was forced to work and learn how to take care of himself while still being young. He became a miner like his father, but due to conditions of that time, it did not earn him very much. Norton was desperate to change his fate and live a better life, resulting in him learning and working harder than most others, which "intimidated" those around him. Even so, he persevered, and soon he was able to improve his reputation despite the mockery of those in the mines, due to his efforts at work which earned the respect of the superiors and his visits to the elderly. Eventually, Norton met Benny, an old miner who was once a friend of his father. Benny showed him a list of 13 locations, of which there might be gold in the stone of the mine. As Norton had been doing everything he could to find valuable mine locations in order to quickly get out of poverty, he took the list and began searching the locations. In impatience, after 12 of the 13 mines came up empty, Norton set off dynamite in the last location, which caused the entire place to collapse. Right as a search and rescue team were about to give up finding any survivors in the rubble, Norton was discovered a few dozen meters away from the entrance of the mine, having dug his way out of the cave through a mountain creek. He was the only survivor of the mining accident. As he recovered alone in the hospital, he refined the piece of meteorite he had obtained into a magnet, which he used to change professions from a miner into a geological prospector where he obtained his desired stability, but not the immense wealth he dreamed of. His personality significantly changed after the incident, causing him to swap between a gloomy and depressed guy and a hot-tempered and avaricious person. When he received an invitation to the Manor, he jumped at the chance of earning a fortune.
