## Biography

John was born on a cold planet known to the locals as Frigus. He grew up among people who cherished valor, loyalty and Family. His father, Iel, was the leader of his tribe and taught him how to think outside the box. This later led to him rising through the ranks of the Imperium.

When he turned fourteen, which was is considered adult on Frigus, he got his first hunting knife. His proficiency with a knife earned him an important role in the Great hunt. During the hunt he found a Frigean horned fox which was considered holy on the planet of Frigus. He mistook it for a Bone wolf and killed it. When his tribe found out about this they voted to exile him. They didn't want to kill the eldest son of their leader and while they respected John they couldn't let him be unpunished for killing something holy.

John later applied for citizenship in the Imperium, eventually being accpeted and moving to an imperial planet where he lived for 3 years. John needed money but didn't know how to, all he knew was that he was skilled with stealth, strategy and weapons so he decided to become a vigilante, which was heavily frowned upon in the Imperium and illegal on the planet he lived on, but he didn't have many other choices since the planets inhabitants saw him as an outcast. One day he was caught by a Praefectus known as Guy. He was taken to Empyros where he was experimented on and figured out that the people from Frigus were similar to regular people but a bit stronger, faster and larger. They also had a special organ with supernatural traits that allowed them to slightly manipulate ice and made them totally immune against the cold.

They took an intrest in him. The Imperium had a deal with Frigus, the latter makes technology for the Imperium and the former protects the latter from outside threats. This led to them not having a lot of information on the anatomy of Frigeans. They let him go and offered him to become a member of Imperial Task Force Vassal-3, John obviosly accepted and quickly became a Paladin. He trained under Praefectus Guy for 7 years before becoming a Centurion of Vassal-3 after having defeated the previous Centurion in a duel. John also recruited his younger brother Scarlet and his younger brother Matthew who currently hold the ranks Militus-Primus and Militus-Auxilius respectively.

When he was 28 years old, Imperial Task Force Vassal-3 was assigned to the planet Cubus, who he, together with Praefectus Guy and Militus-Auxilius Falkidalki, discovered one year prior. Centurion Nathan did many things on this planet, including helping in killing the Ender Dragon, finding powerful artifacts like the Totem of undying that manipulates life and death and the Nether star, an item with the power to destroy a dimension. He also had two sons, one that inherited his Frigean powers and used it to cover himself in snow. This son named Timmy also had Photofobia, so he always wore a pumpkin on his head and the other son, a normal Villager that got cursed by Immortus, the Bone God for not completing their deal, this curse made him into a monster more feared than the Ender Dragon.

The cursed son named Serfiel became known as the Wither, a creature cursed to always cause pain and always feel pain. John hunted his son and after a 5 day long battle put him out of his misery. John was engulfed in grief and swore to kill Immortus. John had an artifact that could achieve this but was cursed by Immortus to never be in the same room as the powerful god.

John also helped in many wars including capturing the traitor cultist Nole. John was the only person who actually imprisoned the heretic but eventually Nole escaped. John also recruited and personally trained a lot of soldiers in training, including the universally known marine Ali. Due to his exceptional performance, John was considered to be promoted to a Cataphract Death Unit, but politely declined with the argument that his skills were more important to Vassal-3 as an officer than as a soldier in a distant Cataphract Death Squad and that he felt he had to pay a debt to his mentor Guy.
