Personal history

Jacob Morrison was born a year after Boncly achieved its independence. As such, he has grown up with it, and seen it turn into the prosperous land it is now. When he was 18, he began his work in the military, although by that time the Border Wars had been over for 7 years, but there was still lingering struggles and home defense to worry about. As he rose in the ranks for 7 years, he gained the respect and admiration of fellow soldiers and superiors for his dedication, unwavering mental fortitude, but also his sense of justice and morality. As such, when he was discharged following an explosive injury at the age of 25, he did so with honors. Desiring to still better his country, he threw himself into politics, quickly becoming an aide, then a Legislator, then a Mayor of his hometown of Buffalo. At the age of 35, he was sponsored by Mayor Booth of Wyatt in the running for Mayor of Ranger, and Governor of Boncly. Although nervous, this had been what Jacob had wanted for the past 10 years, and so he accepted. It was a hard fought victory, and his opponents weren't always playing fair, but in the end he got elected, and went to work making Boncly better. Mayors in Boncly, including Governors, stay on for a 6-year term, and can be re-elected once. As he won his re-election 4 years ago, Governor Jacob Morrison has two more years left in his running, and intends to leave Boncly in a state that his successor doesn't undo any of his legacy.

Mental Trauma

Jacob has been very open, both in conversation and campaigning, that he had seen atrocities done to the poor folks in his hometown, both during the war and after, at the hands of the privileged elite. This has given him many a neuroses about excess spending, and a lack of patience for aristocrats. Many in the political sphere can also remember that Morrisons only "failure" of a campaign attempt was in a local mine shaft, where he got quite irritable and uncomfortable.

Jacob Morrison isn't one for intellectual thinking, but the man can talk philosophy with some of the most college education folks and at least stay in the beat of conversation.
