Years ago in a small town in Maine, an astronomer named Garth Quietly was happily married to a woman named Inza. However, their fondest wish for a child could not be due to health issues of Inza. One day, Garth got in an argument with Inza over whether to adopt or not. While drunk, He had a brief affair with the goddess Asteria, who seduced him when they met in a club. and a few months later Jason appeared on their doorstep, and Garth confessed to his one night stand. Though a bit shocked and dissapointed in her husband, Inza eagerly agreed to raise the child as their own. However, Garth was later killed due to faulty brakes in a truck he rented, leaving jason to be raised by Inza. He grew up with a love of knowledge, especially pertaining to the stars and astronomy. Unfortunately, when he was 7 he suffered from a massive case of the flu and was forced to stay in the hospital for almost a year. When he returned, he found it hard to reintegrate with society, having trouble finding other friends his age. Once, during a field trip to DC, Jason was chased by a frightening man (manticore), and convinced his mother to bring them home.
They then moved to London, England for a few years where Jason was homeschooled by his mother. He discovered that he had a very active imagination. When he was about 10, he made a friend while helping at the Library. They became very close, and for a time Jason was happy. Unfortunately, the friend turned out to be a vengeful stormspirit. Jason would've died had his motehr not slain the spirit, secretly having been a child of Athena. However, she was fatally wounded. Before her death, Inza explained to Jason of his heritage as a child of ?Asteria?, which had been secretly known by her since D.C, when Inza had noticed the monster. Ever since,s he had known, deducing he was a demigod like herself. Jason was moved to a foster home in New York, (As he was technically not an English citizen) where he slowly made new friends.
At age 13, however, he was attacked by a cyclops while on trip to Cape Cod. Some visiting campers rescued him, and, when seeing him glow at night, realized he was a son of ?Asteria?. They invited him to live at CHB, but he didn't like the idea of moving again and so refused. However, an ominous dream convinced him to start again at CHB when he was 14. Soon after arriving at camp, he began waking at night to sketch the stars. Proud of his work, his mother sent him a staff. However Athena, who found a staff to be to defensive a weapon, also made sure he received a sword. Ironically, despite his self-conscious nature Jason has developed an unusual habit as a result of his stargazing. Every night, he falls alseep in his regular clothes and wakes up at midnight to stargaze. Upon his return to his cabin, he simply discards his outer clothes and sleeps in his underwear. It is unknown if this is because of habit or exhaustion.
