Jonathan Cortaine

A well-respected officer who has served under Adamaris Cannon for longer than anyone else in the service. Jack’s good looks and charming personality have made him popular among his peers as well as his superiors, who have long considered him a favorite for a commanding position. In addition to being a talented communicator, Jack is a skilled swordsman who has trained with many pilots seeking to hone their skills for use in the field.

Appearance
His most prominent scar runs along his right cheek and across his brow, disappearing into his hairline. Another follows from behind his left ear and travels down his jawline, obscured by his well-pressed uniform. Jack is rarely seen without his Dress Blues, complete with a pair of white gloves and a sword at his side.

History
Jack suffered a major setback in his career several years prior to the Christmas War. An explosion caused by a leak in the engine room heavily disfigured the young officer, scarring him physically and mentally. Months of intense surgery and months more of physical therapy got him up and walking, but his pride was wounded permanently. Lieutenant Commander Jonathan Cortaine now walks with a mild limp due to differing sizes between his legs. Nonetheless, he is determined to continue his military service so long as he can still breathe.
