Personality & Traits

General Overview		Thomas Jonathan Jackson is a professional warrior. He knows what hardship is. Death has become a too familiar acquaintance during the course of his career. He maintains a working relationship with death. He also has a natural knack to lead others, which was the main reason he went from the enlisted ranks, to the commissioned officer ranks during the Dominion War. He is not overbearing though, and knows how to interact with others well. He is tenacious, but also knows how to pick his battles. Jonathan is fiercely loyal to the Federation with one exception. He has a higher loyalty to his home world of Alpha Centauri. While the relationship between the UFP and the member world of Alpha Centauri has always been cordial, the expansion of the central authority of the Federation Council has caused a strain between it, and many of the member worlds. The Articles of Federation were very specific regarding how much of a say it had over the internal affairs of each member world. Lately, the Federation Council has been stretching those limits. The bottom line for Thomas Jackson is this: So long as Alpha Centauri adheres to the United Federation of Planets, so his loyalty lies. IF Alpha Centauri should choose not to adhere to the Federation, his loyalty would lie with Alpha Centauri. This is his concept of patriotism.
