Note:
Background Jonas comes from a small suburb on the outer limits of Los Angeles' main city center of Santa Monica. Raised in its shadow, he took to space at a rather young age, flying through school with an aptitude for the vastness of the void. Known through his younger days as an 'adrenaline junkie', Jonas seemed born for the military life, and around his twentieth birthday signed on for the Liberty Navy, a decision that his artist father and elementary school teacher mother didn't look too highly on.
His service with the Liberty Navy began in 816 A.S., near the breakout of the Liberty war with Rheinland. After a few months of training at West Point and Richmond, Jonas was found suitable for deployment to the front, where his skills reflected highly of the training he'd received, as well as his pension for reckless antics. His accomplishments continued to aid Liberty through the long six years of war, and near the end was reassigned to the escort brigade that led Naval forces to the peace treaty at New Berlin.
His service with the Navy continued for another six months until the snafu at Alaska, where forces of the Liberty Navy's First, Third, Fifth, and secondary fleets squared off with LSF forces defending Harmony forces within the Zone 21. As the situation grew into a full-on separatist endeavor, Jonas was stationed aboard the L.N.S. Shamrock Bay to act as its executive officer in the wake of the ship's return to Liberty. For another six months following the incident, Jonas' career would involve the typical action again pirates, Royal Navy insurgents, and the rogue Legion raid from Kansas.
Following the return of another lost Liberty warship, the Montana, tensions between Jonas' command station and the separatist movement began to ease, as well as his temper, and following coordination between Harmony and a Third Fleet Admiral, the Shamrock Bay's defection under the command of a begrudged Captain Allison Hunter soon made headlines. Jonas followed, swayed by the information that had lead him to accept the growing issue of contamination within the Navy, swearing to remove it regardless of the cost.
Today, Jonas serves the battlegroup as a ranking officer of the Fighter Corps, as well as an on/off executive officer for Admiral Hunter. On occasion, Jonas has also been known to dabble in hauling for the Battlegroup's logistics arm, coordinating much of Harmony's more obscure and idle projects.
