==Background==
Jaime is of Hispanic ancestry,Holotape script notes and was born to a Ranger in the mid-wastelands. In his youth, he made a living scavenging at a place he called "the colony."
At some point during or after the 2250s,Reginald Rothchild: "Much has happened in the 23 years since we left the west coast."(Reginald Rothchild's dialogue) his father brought back a mysterious old tome from an expedition, which he believed to be valuable. They then travelled to the Capital Wasteland, hoping to sell it to the scribes of the Brotherhood of Steel chapter who had recently settled there. Failing to sell the book to the Brotherhood, Jaime's father instead vowed to return it "to its source"Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition, pp. 77-78: "Jaime PalabrasJaime was born in the mid-Wastelands to a Ranger. His father returned to camp from an expedition with a thick book, bound in odd black leather and stamped with strange glyphs. Convinced the book would fetch a high price, his father traveled to the Capital Wastes to offer it to the Brotherhood of Steel Scribes. Despondent, Jaime's father vowed to return the book "to its source."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census) and set off, leaving his son in an old hospital without a flashlight. 
In his late twenties, Jaime set out southward in search of his father, and started recording a personal journal. He felt his father "went crazy" after acquiring the mysterious book, and resented being left to fend for himself.Jaimes personal journal: entry 01 Jaime eventually fell in with another group of travelers,Jaimes personal journal: entry 02 who turned out to be raiders. It was not long until they killed a family for a "sack of rotten vegetables," upon which he secretly resolved to get away from this dangerous group as soon as possible.Jaimes personal journal: entry 03 The opportunity to leave the raiders presented itself, when they were preparing to attack a group of traders. Jaime turned on the raiders, and in turn earned the thanks of the traders, who also happened to know where his father was headed.Jaimes personal journal: entry 04 
Following his father's trail, he headed to the Dunwich Building, where he found him to have turned into a feral ghoul, only recognizing him because of the Krivbeknih laying on the ground near him. Jaime took up the book as a memento of his father, while resting his body against the warm stone of the unusual obelisk behind him.Jaimes personal journal: entry 08 His final journal entry indicates that exposure to Ug-Qualtoth's obelisk caused him to lose his mind, chanting "Sharp knife. Sharp knife to send him to deep temple. Flay and say my words. Abdul comes again, on the feast of the weaker. Feast for the Deep Temple. Born again, here. Alhazzared G'yeth G'yeth."Jaimes personal journal: entry 09
