Jewel Mondragon

"'Fuck fuck fuck fuckfuckfuckfuckFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-' - Jewel Mondragon while piloting a crashing helicopter." Jewel Mondragon is a stubborn and reliable combat medic. She is currently not affiliated with any military organisation. She is a veteran of the African War and one of the original genetic donors for the Hyperion Project. Her exposure to the genetic modifications in the project left large changes to her DNA in a similar fashion to the other participants, maintaining her muscular physique well into her 40's.

Early Years
Jewel was born and raised in central Germany. Her mother worked as a neurosurgeon while her father stayed at home and raised her. Her parents where supportive of her when she showed an interest in medicine, sending her to a prestigious college.

Mondragon was somewhat sheltered from the war-torn state of the world by her parents, however, once she found out, she wanted to settle the ongoing conflicts.

Initially enlisting in the EU, she became dissatisfied with the lackluster performance of their presence in the world. Once her tour had expired, she enlisted in the Atlas Med-Core, where she quickly found herself busy.

African War
Jewel Mondragon was an ATLAS soldier in The African War. It was during this time that she earned the nick-name 'The Harmacist' on account of her destructive potential outweighing her medical capabilities. She served alongside Nestor McKellen and Sergei Chernov, and values them greatly as friends and allies.

Operation Cobalt Hue
Mondragon was one of the three soldiers chosen by Eric Connelly to form a strike team tasked with infiltrating and neutralizing the defensive forces in the facility. She failed to prevent the transfer of control to a secondary area, ensuring the self-destruction of the reactor.

She, the strike team and Connelly barely managed to flee before the power plant self-destructed, causing a collosal nuclear meltdown that bathed all of Central and Southern Africa in deadly levels of radiation. In 2040, this still remains the worst event in human history, and the PRGA is still condemned for their actions in taking so many lives. The fallout rendered most of Central and Southern Africa unlivable, forming a massive exclusion zone.

Mondragon was the most irradiated of the team, having been staggered by injuries, leaving her exposed the longest.

Hyperion Project
Similarly to Connelly and the strike team, Mondragon's DNA was examined and Atlas Scientists discovered that it had been mutated slightly to what they called 'the Goldilocks Zone.'

She and the fireteam were swiftly escorted to Area 51, where they were subjected to genetic experimentation that left them more than human. Their modified DNA was kept and used to create 7 metahumans, Hyperions I through to VII. Mondragon fiercely refused the procedure, but was manipulated and lied to in order for her to agree, given the chance, she has gone on record saying that she would gladly 'kill the scientists who lied to her a hundred times over with her bare hands' in retaliation to what transpired to her genetic offspring.

Area 51 Breakout
Sometime after leaving Africa, she attempted to gain the EU's help in liberating McKellen, Chernov and the Hyperion projects from Area 51, to no avail. She was, however, greeted by Scotty Ross in her apartment, offering his assistance. In the year 2031, She, Ross and a team of highly trained operatives broke into Area 51, resulting in the rescue of Hyperion 6 but also in Jewel's untimely death.

Decrypted CIA Intel fragments
Mondragon has remained mostly anonymous during the time between the end of The African War and the present day. By choice or by circumstance is unknown, but very likely both, due to her public disdain of the Atlas Coalition.

After hearing of Chernov's disappearance, it did not take long for Mondragon to determine the truth, quickly withdrawing into isolation from all but her daughter for just over a week. By all accounts, she was devastated by the loss of her long time comrade.

It is not known who the father of her daughter, Irene Mondragon is. Mondragon refuses to involve her in any military or international matters, having disobeyed orders on numerous occasions to keep her daughter anonymous.

Mondragon has been known to assist rebels against Atlas, putting her at odds with her previous commander Eric Connelly. She does not wish him or his family harm, also bearing a grudge against Kirill Sokolov's violent and destructive displays.
