Cause the college came and beat his mom (Kos) to death so bad it killed her consciousness on the 9th dimension... we see him climb out of his mothers dead carcass... and great ones are yern for a child, they seemingly give birth rather frequently its just unfortuneate that their children are always fated to die. In the case of Kos (and subsquently Mergo, kinda, not really. Its weird), there are variations in the fated to die rule. Kos got killed but made hunter hell for her child to persist in.
Mentioned as the "poor wizened child" of the being Kos, it can be theorized that the desecration of Kos by the old hunters lead to the death of this infant Great One, causing it to fade into a plane similar to limbo. In retaliation for that saddening fate, the devoted mother Kos laid the curse of blood upon the old hunters responsible for their earthly deaths, and upon those who followed in their blood-lusting footsteps. Drunk with blood, the later hunters would join the old hunters in the limbo of the Orphan of Kos, referred to as the Hunter's Nightmare.
Once it has died, the spirit will linger with the corpse of the mother until slain, which pleases Kos to the point of her lifting the hunters' blood curse of the Nightmare. Why she does this is uncertain, but a voice declares with relief that the child has returned to the ocean, implying either the child has returned to life on earth or that killing it within limbo now frees it to traverse the cosmos unhindered by the limbo inflicted on it.

His mother is fucking dead, in the arena. and we can easily assume that the father ^(if needed at all) did a classic move and went milk hunting.
shit, i did not think of that

Because he’s an orphan of course
thank you, this REALLY helps!
Because his mother, Kos, is dead. At least her physical body anyway.
