Jason Cross

Jason Cross is an IgR specialist. He is part of a twenty man program entitled Gearmarker. Each Gearmarker specialist was sent to different important locations. Jason was sent to the Citadel, where he works alongside the Citadel Defense Force to monitor criminal activity. He is described as the best Gearmarker agent, next to Aaron Hemmington. During Wartime, Jason is often sent to the front lines to fight.

Early Life
David Bauer was born on Earth in 2164, and he joined the Citadel Alliance Navy once he was of age. He served there for many years, even doing one tour on the SSV Normandy for a month. After the Alliance joined the Intergalactic Republic, David was asked if he wanted to serve their forces on a higher level with less restrictions. He answered yes, and was kidnapped from his barracks two days later.

Gearmarker
David was left in a cell for two days, surviving off of his own saliva. Then, he was put into and interrogation room, where he was asked whether or not he would commit himself to their Project. His answer was yes, and was was then put into stasis for another month. When he was released, he was put into a rigorous training session, and his name was changed to Jason Cross. He proved to be one of the best agents, seconded only by Aaron Hemmington, another agent. Once the training was completed, he was put into a stasis tube for another month while doctors performed changes to his body. His bones were hardened and strengthened, and his muscles were also modified. His brain was also altered to be able to learn more easily then anyone beforehand. Lastly, his fingerprints were surgically removed, making him harder to identify.

The Citadel
Jason was put on The Citadel, where he maintains a constant day-to-day patrol, finding criminals every chance he gets and covertly eliminating them. On some occurrences, Jason would work with the CDF and C-Sec to bring down a larger criminal operation. Jason requested to be transferred to Omega, but he was refused each time. He only leaves the Citadel during wartime.

Personality and Traits
Jason is known to be very sarcastic and sometimes insensitive, but can be caring and thoughtful other times. He follows orders to the letter, unless the order giver has deliberately left room for interpretation. He, like other Gearmarkers, is a master of unarmed combat, as well as a master sniper, knife-fighter, and soldier. He has an extensive knowledge of bomb disposal, and sometimes defuses bombs during rare bomb threats on the Citadel.
