Born in Haense in the year of 1741 the son of the castle stone mason (his father is half highlander), Jhon’s childhood was filled with stonework and mediocrity, but he found a comfort in pursuing architecture and stonework. he took a very specific interest in castles and castle defenses, and used to walk the walls and admire the battlements and the stonework, when he was 6 a fire broke out in the adjoining building and the fire spread engulfing their home. Jhon’s mother sadly passed away in the accident and every since he has had a irrational fear of fire, he can enjoy a nice lit fire in the fireplace but when it comes to close he freezes. when he turned 14 he and his father moved to the Royal City of Reza, where his father took work as a inspector of the capital city defenses. after he moved he started to take a keen interest in gadgets and peculiar contraptions, he also fell in love with the crossbow and started training whilst his father was at work, his days in the capital was filled with training to shoot, reading in the public library, learning stone mason techniques and architecture. when he was 20 his father was taken by an illness, and he decided to head out into the world to discover and create and impregnable castle defense.
