"That's what a leader's about: sacrifice. The times he's gotta sacrifice because he's gotta lead, by example; not by fear and not by self-pity."
– Tony D'Amato "Any Given Sunday"

Overview
Before he was taken Jon came from a shitty rundown house with his mom, his dad, and his kid brother Matty. They tried to keep their old man happy but, you know how that can go. Typical story of an abusive asshole whooping on the kids as it goes. Jon did what he could to protect his little brother. Sometimes that was not possible. He started fights with his step-dad just to make him forget Matty was there. In the end Jon had a plan: Get smart and get the fuck out.
Well he did. Just not like he planned on.
Jon grew up hard and tough. The need to protect his brother and enduring his childhood had him grow up to be one stalwart sunnova bitch. He graduated from Highschool and had the grades to attend the University on a partial athletic scholarship. Which would be great if some goddamned Gentry didn't have other plans.
He still works the docks and the family warehouses. Contention these days comes from his loyalties to the family, and being told he's turning his back on them by trying to be 'too good for them'. Still, the skillz that pay the bills are what gets him through a lot of things. He's made a lot of compromises for taking care of his family. How many more he'll have to make is uncertain.

"Now, we go out there and we half-ass it because we're scared, all we're left with is an excuse. We're always gonna wonder. But, we go out there and we give it absolutely everything... that's heroic. Let's be heroes!"

- Frost Trolls - We can keep your drinks cool. Also, naturally scary as shit. Sorry. That's just... look it's just how it is.
- Fate's Harvest - Yeah. Freehold. Rah-rah and shit.
- Ex-Summer - Yeah funny story about that. He was doing well in SUmmer Court. One day resigned and left a note saying he had to give rage a purpose or it'd burn everything on all sides, including the things you are angry on behalf of. Still keeps tabs though. Just... huh.
- Oneirophysician - I might be the angriest damned doctor since Greg House, M.D. Sometimes this means pulling bullets out of people that would rather keep it quiet. What can ya do though?
- That other thing - I don't do that anymore stop asking. No really, I'm a ask you once.
- In a bind? - I've been known to grouse and lend a hand. Little is fucking more reliable than a guy who can work like a goddamned machine.
- Got your back - I've been known to do some strange favours for stranger people. Maybe even you.
- Local High School - I went all-state as a linebacker in High School. My younger bro Matty did too. We know you?
- Sigma Sigma Xi - Yeah I'm a frat guy at the local University. We bros?
- Ain't no Boy Scout - Still a loyal and functioning member of the Alexander Family. Sometimes this means they ask you to... do things. He's got a problem tellin the family no.
- University Med Student - Yeah the meat head is a med student. To those that said I can't do this? Fuck you. But yeah that's what I'm using the athletic scholarship for. Yes I can go pro maybe, if I'm lucky. No I really don't want to. I don't think. Who the fuck knows.
