Brief History

Son of James Harper, founder and CEO of Lycurgus Technologies, Jason grew up in the wealthy part of Boston. He attended MIT at the age of sixteen, majoring in Military Science and Tactics while attending OCS the following year. He enlisted in the Marine Corps after receiving his Bachelor's, joining Force Recon and carrying out several successful operations as a Platoon Commander. After a fateful encounter with a paranormal insurgent, Jason was recruited into PRIMUS as an Assault Agent Commander.

After a short record of exemplary service, he disappeared into a Joint Special Ops program for three years. When he re-emerged as a merc called 'Killshot', it was obvious his relationship with PRIMUS had ended badly. His unusual level of precision and professionalism got him picked up by Accademi, and soon after he resumed contact with father. He began attending accelerated courses towards his Bachelor's in business, during which time he became interested in the Derlith Corporation's proposed but rejected upgrade to Stronghold Prison.

Seeing the project's potential for training and research applications, he used his contacts to set up a meeting and pitch his proposal. Accademi, Lycurgus Technologies, and the Derlith Corporation all agreed to invest in the project, which proved to be immensely successful. Using his partial ownership and his percentage of the newly founded V.I.C.T.O.R training facility's profits, Jason founded Harper Security Solutions, a small Private Military Company specializing in Meta level threats.

Personality

Jason's greatest asset is adaptability. His time with PRIMUS taught him to prepare for any conceivable threat, and he took to those lessons well. Psionic suppressors, Qliphothic wards, and kinetic barriers are all things he has on his person at any given time. Most of these are single or limited use, since they have to be small enough to fit in his pockets or sew into his clothing. They're designed to buy him enough time to strike or flee as needed, and by no means make him immune.

The contrast between strict military life and merc operational freedom has made him socially adaptable as well. He's equally comfortable talking business with a politician as he is talking shit with a merc. This doesn't always work in his favor; his associates sometimes clash, and he tends to feel the backlash. As such, sustained friendships are a rare thing. Still, he considers maintaining diverse contacts necessary for business, and business takes precedent.

Though Jason's been combating Paranormals for years, socializing with them is still fairly novel. Teleporting often startles him, and he casts a weary eye on Demons and other monstrous entities. He's been slowly moving past these hang-ups, and counts an increasing number of non-humans among his associates.

Record

Jason's UNTIL file is short, succinct, and clean, listing his military accolades and his status as a defense contractor. His PRIMUS file reveals his basic history, but the details are a sea of black lines and redaction notices. Those with higher level clearance will find his status listed as AWOL, and 'wanted for debriefing'. Clever agents will have no trouble reading into this: His capture should be accomplished discreetly and off the record.

Appearance

There's nothing obvious to suggest Jason isn't a normal human. Perceptive characters might notice he rarely seems entirely relaxed, and regularly scans his environment. Martial artists and the like may notice that his bearing and fluid motions suggest extensive hand-to-hand training. While the bags under his eyes imply a lack of sleep, he always seems fully awake and alert. Those that perceive energy fields/auras/whatever may notice strange 'flares' of energy occur about him.

Reputation

Jason is no stranger to controversy. His PMC status, time as a merc, and questionable departure from PRIMUS have come under scrutiny from various branches of the press. Costumed heroes tend to resent his use of deadly force, and the lavish lifestyle it's bought him. Forbes was the first to give him favorable coverage, praising his combination of business sense and military savvy. Jason reached out to the article's author, and has since contributed to several pieces.
