Black Harrier

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND

Born to a mixed-race couple, John Mokoena did not an easy life during the apartheid. He was a science professor at Cape Town University for many years, until his marriage to Rosalia, a young Namibian woman. This brought even more hatred and scorn from his colleagues. He soon resigned from the university.

A year later John was shot and killed at an anti-apartheid rally. His son, Josiah, was four years old. His daughter, Beth, was one.

Rosalia took comfort in her son's apparent genius. The discovery that Josiah was a child prodigy came at the right time. With two children and no job to speak of, Rosalia found that Josiah's aptitude for science and technology drew a lot of attention from many corporate financiers, including a quickly growing venture known as Advanced Research Group Enterprises. With their help, Rosalia found their troubles disappearing.

Josiah was soon enrolled in a private school in Johannesburg. It once was reserved only for the wealthy and white, but the ARGENT influence placed Josiah on an academic fast track. This created an atmosphere of hate and resentment with his fellow students; an experience his father similarly faced years earlier. Alone and secluded, Josiah found solace in his creations and imagination, and with his mother's love.

During a field trip for the school's brightest students, Josiah and his family fell victim to a rebel attack. His mother and sister were killed in the explosion. Josiah was one of three survivors. ARGENT responded and took care of Josiah.

The following years were full of intense study and research. His ARGENT benefactors watched as Josiah graduated from the University of Cape Town and then M.I.T. to become an expert in nanobiomechanics, genetic engineering virology, and nanolepton fields.

ARGENT was pleased.
