Jean Valjean

Early Life
Jean was born in the Terroja lower city in a modest family. His mother, xx x, was unemployed and his father xy x was enlisted in the Imperial Army of Uldarash. When Jean was 5, his father was sent to fight in a war and never came back. He is presumed dead. In consequence Jean had to contribute at a very young age to the household and worked in different sections of the economy. He gained experience in farming and cultivation, mining and in construction.

New Family
At the age of 17 he amassed enough wealth to guarantee decent living conditions for himself and his mother, whose health was in a declining state. Interested in other cultures he goes onto multiple trips troughout Haven and meets in Chervonstadt he meets his alfheimi lover and future wife xx2. Both are happily married and live in Montroig and already a year later their son Higher Dom is born. But that period of stability and happiness does not last. His mother, who is very close to Jean, dies soon after, plunging her son in phase sadness and depression who seeks confort in alcohol. This heavily affects the young family and the relationship between Jean and xx2 become increasingly complicated and tensions. One day, after a violent outburst under the effects of alcohol, xx2 leaves with the 7 year old Higher Dom and moves back to Chervonstadt. Full of regret and self hatred for his actions, he keeps distance from his family as to not have a negative influence on them.

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. But 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 appointement of Mayor the Uldarashi civil war begins. Being a faithful supporter of the loyalists cause, he puts his knowledge and experience to use to organise 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 enlists in the army is turns out to be a decent fighter. He is chosen to be part of the task force at the Battle of Canine. While fortifying the defences, he reunites with Higher Dom for the first time in 8 years. Both fight side by side and manage to survive together the first battle of the civil war but they had to part ways as Jean's mayoral duties called upon him and Higher Dom returned to Chervonstadt.

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 promises to himself to redeem himself for his past behaviour by being a strong and present father figure. Impressed by sons natural talent at combat, he trains regularly fighting with him and before long Higher Dom surpasses his father to become one of the greatest and most respected soldier 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 towards Terroja. Jean was part of the main fighting unit which was meant to defend the city. But again the loyalists were completely overhelmed 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 retreats to New Baldia to resupply. On his way he meets an Imperial fighter and a duel on the lyon cliffs of New Baldia ensues. Both equally exchange hits, but neither manage to overcome the other. The duel ends in a stalement but Jean considered it a success since he prevented the ennemy from entering his city. After he goes 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 immages of horror haunt his mind to this day and made him grow strong resentment for the Imperialist cause. Being wounded Jean, does not take part as a soldier during the battles of Hapatmitas and New Coolio City, but he insists on helping and thus worked 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 create a cooperation that specialises 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 shocks Jean who is to afraid to tarnish their good relationship by telling him his disapproval towards his behaviour. For the first time in 1 year he goes back into a bar and orders a beer.
