Jonathan's Father, Killian Herran, was a half New Regalian, half Ithanian man who came to live in Ithania with his wife, Jonathan's Mother, Sally Anne, a New Regalian woman. Jonathan was born to the pair on their roughly four-acre land.
Jonathan spent his earliest days living on his family's farm. As a child, his favorite pastime was swimming at a nearby creek with his father, until his pet dog unfortunately drowned there. He since hasn't swam for recreation but sparingly.
Later in his youth, Jonathan spent most of his time tending to livestock and crops. He found the simple life to be very fulfilling. He never had very grand dreams or big plans.
Jonathan's teenage years were filled with happy times, as he and a neighbor his same age would run about together. Jonathan always remembers those days with fondness, and tried to hold on to that feeling. To this day, it's the little things that still bring joy to Jonathan. For him, the memory of such fond times, and a sense of belonging continue to satisfy him.
In his later teenage years, towards the age of 17, Jonathan would spend a lot of time visiting a nearby town and hanging out in a Tavern there. He developed a taste for Honey Mead, and a distaste for drunkards. Additionally, during this time he found himself learning hand-to-hand boxing style fighting by experience, as well. Additionally, Jonathan found an interest in and later picked up some instruments from traveling bards that would pass through and play there.
When Jonathan was nearly 19, he picked up a knack for Long swords. His Father urged him to go study at an academy. Jonathan reluctantly agreed, and left behind his quiet farm life to pursue schooling in the School of Bloodcast. While he was away, a number of financial issues began stacking against his family and their farm. While not immediately a problem, Jonathan feared they could worsen. Additionally, his Father's health seemed to be deteriorating in his older age.
Some two months before Jonathan graduated from the School of Bloodcast at the age of 29, he received word from his Mother that Killian had passed away. Taking time away from his studies to return home, Jonathan found that the financial situation was worse than it had appeared. His parents had not told him the truth so as not to worry him, but they would inevitably lose their home. Jonathan's childhood friend agreed to let his Mother stay with them, while Jonathan returned to Regalia to finish his training and seek work. Jonathan's hope was to earn a living, and one day buy back his home.
While Jonathan saw strides in his work in Regalia, being employed for a period at the Golden Willow as a Barkeep, working with the Regalian Guard and even as a Security Captain for a Noble Man, his mother was not so well. Her health seemed to deteriorate rapidly after the death of Killian. Before long, Jonathan learned that his Mother had taken a turn for the worse. Once again returning to Ithania, Jonathan was able to be with his Mother when she passed. To Jonathan's disappointment, he was unable to bury her beside his Father, as they no longer owned the land.
After his Mother's death, Jonathan felt his ties to Ithania had been cut. His hopes of reclaiming their home now seemed pointless, and he decided to make a new life in Regalia. Finding success as a part-time Barkeep, and working under the Regalian Guard once more, in a handful of different Charters.
During the events of the recent turmoils of Regalia, Jonathan has mostly laid low. Additionally, he's never taken much interest in foreign or Noble politics, until a war has come to the Regalian Empire.
Jonathan once again found he was content, serving Regalia and protecting the innocent.

Personality and Abilities
- First Paragraph: Typically seen as courageous, selfless and dedicated. Jonathan is usually the first to volunteer, the first to help and the last to go home. He's known for working overtime significantly more often than others. He is seemingly always trying to find a way to make a difference, even leaping headfirst into dangerous situations to save others.
- Second Paragraph: Jonathan, while always looking to improve himself, is composed in most social settings. He understands his strengths and his weaknesses, and feels he has little further to improve, personality-wise. Thus, he doesn't take harsh criticism to heart, it means nothing to him from most people. As for his skills, Jonathan is very confident in his combat abilities, but not to the point of arrogance. He generally considers himself humble, never seeking to glorify himself.
- Third Paragraph: Jonathan is usually a listener more than a talker. He doesn't try to put himself at the center of things, preferring to pay attention to his friends. Not necessarily out of selflessness, but rather he is more interested in others than he is himself. He always is willing to go out for a round of drinks at the Tavern, and enjoys company from others.
- Fourth Paragraph: Jonathan is a Lawful-Good. He puts a significant importance on morality, justice and honor. He views being just as the most important thing in a person's life, and believes it should be the standard, not the exception. Jonathan sees breaches of integrity as the lowest act one can commit.
