Born and raised by a French middle-class family of Gallente activists.

Death report includes information related to an infamous incident with one of the first "Gallente Mobile Research Platform", a heavily-modified Celestis.
Last sent logs revealed that a Serpentis fleet, unable to seize the ship for themselves, destroyed it instead.
99.9% of the Celestis crew perished. John was the surviving 0.1%, not knowing that the "anti-drowsiness augments", implanted in his skull and spine by the Center of Advanced Studies, suspiciously free of charge, were new prototypes of capsuleer implants.
Luckily enough, they worked, but the prototype is forever lost with John's original body.

Recent psychological analysis shows his "rebirth" might have fragilized his sanity.
Activities remain unknown.
