Depends on how dark you want the game to be, but maybe both his parents died recently so he's sent to live with his uncle on his mother's side, who decided to adopt them?

Being on his mother's side fixes the probelm I thought there was with the last name thing. Cause, you know, if his parents were married and his mother took his father's name that doesn't mean her brother takes the name as well.
