Some conflicting information is given over the course of the series concerning the circumstances surrounding Buz's origin. In "The Mud Nest" he was said to have been left on the doorstep of an orphanage and to have never known who his real parents were. In that episode, he goes on a quest for his mother on the assumption that she is still alive. However, in an earlier episode, the previous season's "Like a Motherless Child", Buz stated that he knew for a fact that both his parents were dead.
