Favored excessively by his father
Hated by his 10 older brothers, who had a history of violence and treachery.
Thrown into a pit in the wilderness
Sold into slavery and never returned home again.
His parents were given proof he was dead and no search was instigated

Stalked by someone powerful and vengeful
Falsely accused and imprisoned
Abandoned in jail without friends or defenders
Forgotten by people who owed him a favor.
