Revision as of 03:21, 4 October 2006

Jon is an assassin, as well as a member of the Gewehr Wraiths, very good at what he does. He tends to angst a lot, has a thing for poor, helpless women, tries to act meaner than he is, and likes to shoot things. In short, the typical fantasy anti-hero. He is friends with Mandi, the brother of Sara, and has had casual (and forgettable) sex with Sarine.

Jon's father was, ironically, killed by assassins.

Jon put Sara up for adoption after their mother died. The guilt he feels over this may explain why he goes out of the way to help out other young girls like Meji. According to Mandi, this isn't the first time it's happened.

His preferred weapon seems to be a pistol, which he has used on humans, elves, Ellis (with messy but not permanently fatal results), and a bunch of leaves he blasts for target practice. He is also proficient with hand-to-hand combat, as Ian discovered the hard way, but again not fatally -- just one of those male-bonding things. There are no indications that he actually uses magic, but he knows enough about it to have detected that Sarine had caused some magical amnesia in him the morning after the night before, even without her fessing up.

He reports to a senior Gewehr guy named Gabriel, who's unhappy with the fact that he botched an assassination by getting identified (by Polly) after making the hit. Gabriel's instructions to him to lay low for a while were instrumental in getting him hooked up with Meji. Now that he's back in business, he's been assigned the Winston Maurel gig, which pretty well everybody suspects is a trap.
