Childhood

Jake was born on the colony of New Lewiston, to Peter Malcom, a logger. Jake was present during the New Lewiston Massacre, the first recorded armed conflict between the colonies and the BOD. He lost his father in the attack. Afterwards he made it his goal to do all he could to assist the war effort. He took up hunting as a career, using his proceeds to buy Colonial war bonds until he was old enough to enlist with the Militia.

Early Militia Career

During his Militia Basic Training, Jake demonstrated a proficiency in Marksmanship, Physical Readiness, Tactical Awareness, Situational Awareness, and Courage. This qualified him for the Paladin program, along with nine other highly promising recruits. The program only allows 3 out of 10 to pass. He demonstrated a high degree of willpower and determination to qualify him as a graduate. After a month of leave, he was assigned to Revere Division, a highly respected team of soldiers trained in assault, infiltration, and scouting.
