Biff Howard Tannen was born on March 26, 1937 to Irving Thomas “Kid” Tannen and Myra Benson in Hill Valley, California. Kid and Myra married in December of 1936, only to make it look as though Biff were not born out of wedlock; they divorced soon after, and Tannen was raised by his grandmother, Gertrude Tannen. Though not bright, Tannen was strong, and got through school by bullying younger classmate George McFly.
On November 12, 1955, a time-traveling older version of Tannen presented him with Gray’s Sports Almanac, providing him with a list of all sports scores for the next fifty years. Though the younger Tannen was initially reluctant to believe his geriatric counterpart, over time, he discovered its true value. Tannen made his first million betting on a horse race on his 21st birthday, March 26, 1958. From there, he raked in impossible amounts of money, and reshaped the town of Hill Valley and, potentially, the world in his own image.
