Jeremiah Grayson
1st level smart hero with the linguist talent
Jeremiah born into an extremely wealthy family, raised
muchly by a nanny and the various maids. This was
very interesting because not one of them spoke english. He made a game out of learning to speak there languages and translating for them by the age of 10. He made it a goal of his to teach them all english as well which he finally accomplished this
just as he entered college early at the age of 15.
Jeremiah was a certified genius when it came to languages he spoke 6 fluently and could also read write them as well. After attending the College of Linguistics at Oxford he developed an interest in ancient languages and there root derivatives. He always considered a new language a new challenge and he is running out of ancient languages to study.
He holds authority figures for the most part at arms length, seeing them as he saw his parents as he grew up. He is a very personable man and very likeable but he would prefer a new language to decipher then a night out on town.
He thought signing up for the armed forces would get him places where he could not go to otherwise to find the information he needed to translate certain parts of languages never translated before or correcting errors in others. He has not made very many friends with his higher ranking officers but he has made several strides in fixing misconceptions and misrepresentations.
Jeremiah entered the US Army after a year of traveling the world after graduating Oxford. He enlisted because he saw all the important discoveries were all being made by the guys in the military.
He made it through boot camp and his first group of MT(military training)classes before he started getting bored. When he finished the current set of classes he was taking he would meet the requirements to be a major in the Army. Evidently all that college had something to do with this but he thought it likely also that the officers did not want a lowly private teaching them how to speak French or Spanish or Iraqi.
Several weeks later he had graduated at the top of his class as usual and he had received his orders. He was to teach the troops in Iraq how to talk to the locals. He boarded his troop plane and tried to get some sleep on the 16 hour flight.
He arrived in Iraq to be greeted by his assigned assistant, an Iraqi fellow who was also to be his guide. The fellow told him of the classroom, which Jeremiah translated meant tent with windows, and that if he need anything just let him know.
The next day he reported to his first day of rest of his tour, is the only way he could describe it. He thought back as he walked to the tent about why he signed up again and kept thinking how big of an idiot he was to think that he would be allowed to do what he loved to do in the military. As he got closer to the tent however he could make out in the desert heat and sand that a cleaned and pressed uniformed decorated the air force man standing guard on the classroom.
Jeremiah taking him for nithing more then a guard walked up to him and tried to make small talk. "You know I don't think they are going to blow an empty tent, do you?" The Air Force lieutenant did not even seem to notice that there was a joke implied in the question and just handed Jeremiah the envelope he was entrusted to carry.
"Eye Only" was emblazoned upon the outside as Jeremiah ripped it open to see what it might have inside.
He read it through about four times before he looked up at the lieutenant,"Your serious?" Jeremiah looked at the man standing there waiting for the punch line. After a moment Jeremiah realized there was no punchline. "Ok, when do we leave" Jeremiah asked as he sighed and looked back at the letter and thought to himself "Colorado is a lot better place to be then Iraq."

Sorry about the delay in getting my character up, I had a pretty busy couple of days over the weekend.
