I apologize in advance if this is a stupid or otherwise already answered question, but ... did we ever find out what Mole's story was? I feel like they had such a build-up about something in Mole's past that Sweet wishes Audrey hadn't told him about, and then they never let the audience in on the secret.
I just feel like I missed something.
You didn't miss it. They never tell us. Guess we should follow Sweet's advice and just believe that we don't want to know.
shareThere are a couple of film related books and media that delved into his background based on the official dossier used by the film/story crew. DVD special features also touched on it.
This wiki pretty much sums it up though:

We found out in Milo's Return.
Mole was raised by Naked Mole Rats.
