Ward had a miserable and abusive home life. His mother was abusive and his father didn't stop her. Ward had two brothers, the elder of whom forced him to torment his younger brother. This landed him in a juvenile hall with his parents pressing charges. Agent Garrett rescued Ward from the juvenile hall and took him into the wilderness, leaving him there with nothing but a bag of clothes and a dog, Buddy. Ward raided houses and lived a somewhat stress-free life during Garrett's six-month absence. Upon Garrett's return, Ward was trained for four-and-a-half years in marksmanship. Garrett informed Ward that he worked for HYDRA and invited Ward to join.

Ward accepted, and Garrett instructed him to kill Buddy to prove devotion and a lack of attachment. Ward fired into the air, knowing that Buddy would run away as he had done many times before. The dog is later seen to be shot with a sniper rifle. It is left unclear who shot the dog. It is later revealed that Grant did shoot Buddy. Agent Ward is a gruff, good-looking, anti-social man. He has a lot of experience in the field and takes his job extremely seriously. He is a man of few words but always cool under fire and ready for action. When working with S.H.I.E.L.D., Ward appeared to be fiercely loyal, obedient, and by-the-book. Around his teammates, he appeared to be open and cooperative with them but not very social or attached.
Later in the season, it becomes clear that Ward does not do well with emotion. He possesses a very broken moral foundation, which is a problem that began from his turbulent youth. While others do much better with loyalty, friendship, and emotion, these traits clash terribly within Ward. There is evidence that he actually does care for his S.H.I.E.L.D. teammates, but this is not enough to stop him from working against them when ordered to do so. It's been revealed though, that Ward's personality and behavior are adjustable. Due to his training and questionable morality, Ward often tailors his actions and behavior enough to manipulate others into trusting him. This allowed him to work as a HYDRA agent without nearly anyone on the team being tipped off until it was far too late.
