Jean Valjean

Jean Bon Serrano (known in game as JeanValjean_) and commonly referred to as Jean is a retired Montroigan war veteran, former Minister of Defence and former Mayor of New Baldia.

Youth and education
Jean was born in the Terroja lower city in a modest family. His mother, Madeleine was unemployed and his father Marius Serrano was a soldier in the Uldarashi military. Jean was 8 years old when his father succombed to illness during a military campaign.

Life in New Baldia
Trying to find a new purpose in life, Jean moves east of Terroja to the new town of New Baldia. He attempts to contribute to its growth. Alone and isolated within Montroig, he does not manage relief his alcoholism. Having worked a lot for the town, he is chosen to be the successor of Mayor Gooblegins the 24th of October.

Battle of Canine
Soon after his appointment of Mayor the Uldarashi Civil War begins. Being a faithful supporter of the Loyalist cause, he puts his knowledge and experience to use to organize the building of the New Baldian war industry. Soon, New Baldia becomes a major hub for the Loyalist Supply Company's production of armor. Jean also enlisted in the army is turned out to be a decent fighter. He is selected to be part of the task force at the Battle of Canine. While fortifying the defenses, he reunites with Higher Dom for the first time in 8 years. Both fought side by side and managed to survive the first battle of the civil war together, but they had to part ways as Jean's mayoral duties called upon him and Higher Dom returned to Chervonstad.

Death of xx2 and reunion with Higher Dom
But they did meet again soon after. XX2 was brutally murdered during a bandit attack. Seeing his angry son at the funeral, he holds back his sorrow and promised to himself to redeem himself for his past behavior by being a strong and present father figure. Impressed by his son's natural talent at combat, he trained regularly with him, and soon Higher Dom surpassed his father to become one of the greatest and most respected soldiers within the loyalist army. Reuniting and spending time with his son help him gradually stopping with his alcoholism.

Battle of Terroja
After their success at Canine, Imperialist Uldarash moved on Terroja. Jean was part of the main fighting unit which was meant to defend the city. But again the loyalists were completely overwhelmed and were pushed out of the citadel and later the lower city. Jean only narrowly escapes with his life during the fight for the Cathedral, and being isolated from the rest of the Army, he retreated to New Baldia to resupply. On his way he met an Imperial fighter and a duel on the Lyon Cliffs of New Baldia ensued. Both equally exchanged hits, and neither managed to overcome the other. The duel ended in a stalemate, but Jean considered it a success since he prevented the enemy from entering his city.

After the duel, Jean went back to the fortress of Pedrascute, but at that moment the loyalist army already collapsed, so Jean, on the battlements of Pedrascute, could do nothing other than observe the sacking of Terroja. These images of horror haunt his mind to this day and made him grow strong resentment for the Imperialist cause. Being wounded, Jean did not take part during the Battles at Hapatmitas and New Coolio City, but he insists on helping, working as courier during the battles.

Jean during the ceasefire
Jean uses the ceasefire as an opportunity to continue plans for New Baldia that are meant to improve the architecture and improving his relationship with Higher Dom. Together with 3 other associates, they created a cooperation that specializes in the production and sale of XP bottles. But Jean is increasingly worried about the state of mind of his son. The death of his mother hit him very hard and his brutality shocked Jean, who is too afraid to tarnish their good relationship by telling him his disapproval towards his behavior. For the first time in 1 year, he went back into a bar and orders a beer.
