First Appearance

Jethro is an adult male Saturnian, who appears to be in his mid to late 20's. He was born a commoner, and was not empowered like some of the Noble clans. has a strong build, and a slash scar under his right eye. He has a stern demeanor and looks very intimidating, but he can be tactful and persuasive and at times appear very approachable. As a child, he had to grow up and compete for everything he wanted and desired, but all too often, an empowered Saturnian would beat him and take what was his. He was a very focused student, having the benefit of being able to attend school and was among the top in his class. Despite this, he was still mostly bullied by many of his empowered peers. He became bitter and vengeful, seeking a way to overcome the empowered members of society. He wanted to show he was better than them. That he could be superior. He desired to make them suffer, as they made him suffer.

Eventually, he sought out masters of self defense and learned a few of their arts to protect himself when attacked, but he could not find a master that could teach him how to fight back against an empowered opponent. More or less, his masters warned him not to try and engage in a fight with an empowered, for they could do untold damage if they unleashed their full power on a commoner. Frustrated, Jethro abandoned his masters, and sought to continue his own studies and fighting techniques elsewhere. Little did he know, he was watched by someone who took notice of his inquiries to his masters, and followed him after he left their schools.

Jethro was wandering the streets alone at night, when he was attacked by a mob of his empowered peers. It seems word got around that Jethro was learning to fight, and wanted to beat up empowered Saturnians. They wanted to teach him a lesson, and came at the young boy, fully intending to use no restraint on their empowered abilities. Jethro took a severe beating until someone rushed in, and after a few hits against the empowered attackers, the mob collapsed in the street. They were complaining about feeling numb and not being able to move or use their powers. Jethro was picked up by this savior and taken away from the scene while the helpless teens cried out for help into the night. Jethro awoke some time later in a strange shack-like dwelling. His wounds were cleaned and bandaged, and Jethro saw what he assumed was the owner of the dwelling sitting near a fire, smoking a pipe. Jethro approached the man to thank him, but the man only looked at the boy and told Jethro that he had the knowledge the boy was seeking. Seeing the confusion in the boy's eyes, the man told Jethro that he was the last member of a clan that kept the knowledge of Croncys (Crone-cus). It was a lost and considered a forbidden art, abandoned by society because they relied more on their modern laws and "civilized" means of maintaining order and balance. The art focuses on the flow of energies through a Saturnian's bodies, and helps those learning the art to understand the triggers and control of empowered abilities. This knowledge allows righteous empowered and common learners to disable and neutralize empowered users who are evil or mis-using their abilities, as long as the righteous learner can land the right strikes.

The man said he had no descendants, or students because to teach the art was forbidden, and no one had the desire or even the courage to seek out this art. The man wished to pass on his knowledge to someone who had the passion, desire, and courage to stand up and fight against the empowered members of society who sought to prey on the common and weak. Jethro agreed to learn Croncys, swearing to this man that he would uphold its righteous oath. However, Jethro planned to use this art and knowledge against his enemies for revenge once he mastered it. He would continue the farce of simply being a righteous student to his new teacher, and continuing to endure bullying from his peers, hiding his true intent. After years of study, he was able to defeat him teacher in a number of challenges, and in a final match Jethro left his teacher fully paralyzed on the ground. It was then the man now deemed Jethro to be the new master of Croncys. Jethro thanked the man for all his teachings...and proceeded to hit the helpless man in the throat, hitting a pressure point to collapse his wind pipe. Jethro stands over the man and watches his teacher suffocate to death.

Jethro returned to his home and life with a new purpose. Now that he had the knowledge and ability to overcome anyone in his way, he would find his rise to power, and seek his revenge on the empowered of society.

Silver Millennium

Jethro served as the Captain of the Royal Guard for the palace and capital city of Saturn. He was assigned and served first under the Ruling Regent Lord Vadik. He was feared among the common folk, and some of the other nobles, because he was known for using inhumane torture methods on prisoners under the rule of the Regent. He would also wrongfully arrest people, especially empowered Saturnians, and essentially kidnaps them to subject them to pain and suffering for his own pleasure. Of all the people in the guard, he had more knowledge on how to disable and contain empowered Saturnians. He continued to serve after the return of the exiled court heirs. At first, he was pleased to have the true members of royal blood returned to their rightful place, but like many others, Jethro was displeased to learn that the birthright Crowned Heiress had returned with a human for a mate, and was already pregnant with the vermin's child. Despite his position, and his sworn oath to protect their Empress and Empire, Jethro soon joined a collective of Anti-Empress rebels.
