Juan Montoya's Background

[McNeo]

Since Juan is on assignment in Omega 5 directing a small operation against the Hessians, I am left to oversee things.

He misses his sister, even though she died when he was very young. When he gets in a fight, he takes out his anger on the target, and I must say it works very well. However, due to this, he gets tired during long fights, and has to force himself to concentrate hard on the targetting reticule.

Sometimes he fails in this, and despite numerous hours in the simulator, he is no closer to raiseing his level of stamina. I keep telling him that it is neccesary to go to the fitness centre to improve this, but he says that flying skills are more important than strength and stamina. Quite hypocritical, but he would only ever accept critisicms such as these in word form. I would be out of a job if I ever made a point about this, so i just keep my head down and update Juan's profile wth these points. He laughs when he sees things like this, and promises me that he will try and sort some of his vices out. The reaction would be very different if i told him in words.

I feel that it is time to document somthing else about Juan Montoya. He is the only one in his family who has a short temper. He can be easily wound up and this can affect his in-flight performance. It often takes his superiors, like Alexander and Farquar, to reign him in if they are around him. I don't feel they deny his fighting abilities. On the contrary they applaud his talent. I rather sense that they think he is slightly unstable from a mental point of view. He can have mood swings from day to day, or hour to hour. Somtimes, these gaps can be measured in a single figure of minutes. I wouldnt go so far as to say he has the ancient disease of schizophrenia, but i would say that this can make him dangerous to others around him. This may possibly help him in a battle situation, but it may also hinder him.

This instability makes him seem aloof and distant from some, but close and attached to others.

His personality is very complex, thus i can not fully put it into words. Suffice to say that he is far from normal.

I do know one thing about him though. This BrotherHood thing that he has joined is definately affecting his mindset. He is gaining more prejudices about people around the sector. He recently called the zoners a "two faced bunch of liars and hypocrites" along with saying that "The Hessians are simply put, stupid".

I don't know how this will affect him. He may let his feelings loose, but he might just hide them away and I will never have to report them about him again.
