History: His family was born in a small suburban area south of London. He has two brothers and a father. His mother died when he was born. Their father was distraught when she died, but he kept his duty first in order to hide his emotions. Jon was the youngest, so he was always messed around with his brothers doing pranks on him. Harmless pranks. They soon grew out of it when he joined the military at the age of eighteen.

Jonathan was always a pacifist. He never liked fighting. He was more into exploring his backyard venturing into the wilderness and learning about the animals. Between his father being a general in the army and his brothers learning everything there is to fight a small army, Jon was the only one running away. He wanted to be a pilot because he believed that if he was inflight, then he wouldn’t have to fight. However, his objectives or viewpoint changed quickly when his father perished in the line of duty.He does not like violence, but he does not want to disappoint his father especially when he made a promise. Before his father's death, he fought against the very thought that he would have to take a life. His family history were military. Even his great grandfather fought in a world war.

His brothers had no problem with joining the military, but Jonathan kept running away. No matter how much his grandfather wanted him to listen, he just kept running away. He wanted to be independent, to be his own person. When the day came that Jon would face his own grandfather's death, he knew it would be inevitable that he had to stop running. Even his second brother had to talk to him to make him understand.

When he and his brothers were called to his ceremony, his grandfather made him a promise in his deathbed that he couldn’t refuse. So, reluctantly, he followed in his brothers and father’s footsteps into military life. More specifically, he joined the British air force where he learned everything to be a pilot. He became one of the youngest recruits to join the military at the age of eighteen. He had little medical knowledge, but his main preference was to be a pilot first. He knew, however, that one of these days will come that he will defend himself. And when that day comes, he will be prepared to fight for his life.

While he was born and raised in London, at the age of eighteen in 1993, he was stationed in the RAF Shawbury where he attended flight training. He attended the Defence Helicopter Flying School where he learned to operate helicopters. While he was growing up, he had a childhood friend named Akela Valerii. Her parents emigrated from Hawaii. He met her while growing up when he was six. They grew close that they attended the same classes and went to the same school. They had the same interests and basically had the same hangouts. They got so close that their friendship grew into a new level where they started dating when they turned sixteen.

Throughout her teenage years and from her interest in helicopters, Jon took to calling her Boomer once in a while. When they graduated from school together, they wanted to pursue the same interest in flight, so they moved to Shewsbury, United Kingdom and attended the same school, the Defence Helicopter Flying School. They were still dating at that time and they had moved closer to Shewsbury living in their own apartment.

After two years of flight training, both Jon and Akela were promoted to lieutenant and transferred to another base where they attended flight missions and duties surrounding aircraft and helicopters.

When he was born, it was in London, England. His mother was British but his father was an American. He lost his mother when he was born due to difficulties at birth. His father was distraught and left Jon under the care of his grandfather as his father returned to America. He was raised under his grandfather's care. Through his grandfather's guidance and eventually his death, Jon decided to join the military with his brothers.

To continue his military education, Jon moved to America to live with his father in Annapolis, Maryland. He went to the Naval academy there. The 'boot camp' there fleshed out his doubts and made him stronger as a marine overall. Eventually, upon graduating after three years, he went on to an officer graduate school before flight training.
