Born in 2001 to middle-class parents, Jonathan Hedderig Edberg was raised in a highly militarized region of the Middle East. He left for the military at the age of 19, having left behind a ghost of a legacy and minimal to no impact in society. Socially anxious and terrified of others, he barely passed his training and went on to specialize in mechanics and technical design, always quietly keeping to himself. He was assigned the position of Assistant Director of Site X1 in early 2037 due to his technical expertise, and there, met the only family he really even knew that cared for him. When he donned his military jacket, it always felt like a brother's embrace.
