Background
Jamal “JaJo” Johanson is a fourth-generation Exohuman with a tumultuous past and a divisive political presence. Born blind, he became an influential landowner by leveraging his resourcefulness and strategic thinking, quickly acquiring additional land from less successful settlers. During the Great War, Johanson founded “Team Johanson,” an unofficial task force notorious for its brutal morale-breaking tactics against Native tribes. His involvement in wartime atrocities, including the deaths of Honga and Trando non-combatants, led to his post-war conviction as a war criminal. After a brief stint in the Firetown copper mines, his sentence was controversially relaxed, allowing him semi-freedom within Firetown—an outcome that still fuels resentment among Communard supporters.
