Personal history
Jaxon Frost grew up in the heart of Camp Hope, the son of devoted but misguided parents, Ellis and Mara Frost, who were swept up in the teachings of the Church of Hope, a religion that promised salvation in the chaos of the world. While they were lost in their beliefs, Jaxon was left to fend for himself and his younger brother, Caleb. Their twin, Tobias, wasn’t as lucky—he got caught up in Solstice Syndicate violence and was murdered in cold blood when they were both just fifteen.
Jaxon never forgot the sight of his twin’s lifeless body, the red pooling in the dust, or the way his parents simply called it "fate" and moved on. He swore he wouldn’t. Instead, he found solace in the home of Dennis Birk Hawking, an old town watchman who took Jaxon, along with other camp youth, under his wing. Dennis was more of a father than Ellis ever was—taught Jaxon how to shoot, how to survive, and most importantly, how to think for himself.
Through Dennis, Jaxon became close to Dorian Vance, a younger Watchman who came to feel like an older brother to Jaxon. Dorian was everything Jaxon wanted to be—strong, confident, and respected. But that admiration turned to grief when Dorian was murdered in a targeted attack. No one took responsibility, and no one paid for it. Everyone just assumed it was the Syndicate, but nothing was done about it. The injustice burned inside Jaxon, pushing him further toward the path of the Town Watch.
Jaxon’s sharp eye and steady hands earned him a place as a sniper recruit, and he quickly proved himself. A prestigious marksmanship award recognized his skill, and the Watch saw potential in him, funding his continued education. He learned multiple languages and honed his skills beyond the rifle. But not everyone was pleased. Lieutenant Sera Calloway, a veteran with no patience for recruits who seemed overly ambitious, made it clear Jaxon would never advance while she had a say in it.
Trouble still followed him. A criminal named Rolf Maddox, a Syndicate enforcer, wanted him dead for reasons Jaxon didn’t fully understand. Worse still, they had some serious firepower. He knew this all had something to do with his childhood friend, Godfried, and his history with the Syndicate but he wasn’t sure how he had gotten caught up into it. All things said and done, it didn’t matter much to him. His friend was a recruit in the Town Watch and Rolf was a Syndicate thug. He knew where his loyalties belonged.
Godfried and him had been good friends as children. They lost touch for a while when Godfried got caught up with the Syndicate, but they’ve reconnected now that they are both recruits in the Town Watch. Early in their training they crossed Wilt Ignatz Ware, a Solstice Knight. Jaxon felt that it was fate—or duty—that brought them back together as Town Watch recruits. Their friendship wasn’t as easy as it had been when they were kids, but Jaxon was willing to try.
There was one other thing—something unexpected. A medical experiment, something the Doctors had asked him to try, changed him. The details were hazy, classified even, but the result was undeniable: Jaxon could endure pain most wouldn’t survive. It wasn’t natural, and it unsettled him.
But in the end, none of it mattered more than his mission. He wasn’t just a sniper for the Watch—he was a man trying to carve out justice in a world that had stolen too much from him.

Jaxon Frost’s ideal:
“Justice must be made, not waited for.”
Jaxon believes the world is too broken for faith or fate to fix it—only those willing to act, to fight, and to bear the cost can bring justice to the forgotten and vengeance to the guilty. He stands for the ones left behind, and he refuses to let another name be lost to dust without consequence.
Jaxon Frost’s bonds:
Jaxon is fiercely loyal to the memory of his twin brother Tobias and carries the weight of that loss as a silent promise to never let violence go unanswered again. He’s also deeply attached to his mentor Dennis Birk Hawking and to his rekindled friendship with Godfried—one a symbol of the man he strives to be, the other a reminder of who he once was.
Jaxon Frost’s flaw:
Jaxon’s pursuit of justice often blurs into vengeance, driving him to take reckless risks and shut out those who try to help him. His deep distrust of authority and refusal to forgive can make him rigid, blind to nuance, and vulnerable to manipulation by those who promise retribution.
Jaxon Frost’s personality trait:
He’s intensely focused and unshakably composed under pressure, with a dry wit and a quiet intensity that makes others take notice—even when he says very little.
