I like Hazel's character, but I find his backstory...meh. I think this could be a better one if you don't like his canon one;

Hazel and Gretchen both attended Beacon Academy in the hopes of becoming Huntsmen. They were both very idealistic at the time, but Hazel was more awre of the risks while Gretchen was more innocent and somewhat blind to the true dangers of the world.

On a mission, their team was tasked with tracking down a pack of Grimm that was terrorizing a town outside of Vale. Their trail led to the mountains, where they found their den. While they succeeded in killing the Grimm, one of them incidentally caused a cave-in. Hazel stayed behind to help his sister and yelled for his teammates to help; sadly, they cowardly ran away, leaving the two behind. Hazel managed to survive, but Gretchen's body was too badly injured and she died in his arms.

Returning to Vale by foot, Hazel went to confront his teammates, but he was strangely arrested by the Vale Police on charges of attempted murder. He discovered that his teammates had lied to save themselves by claiming that he and his sister left them to die. Filled with anger and bitterness, Hazel broke out of jail and killed his two teammates in revenge. Convinced that the Huntsmen were nothing but cowards and hypocrites, he ran away from Vale before he could be arrested again. He was then approached by Salem, who offered him the chance to rid the world of the Huntsmen in revenge for his sister's death.

Maybe better, maybe worse. What do you think?
