Fictional biography
Within Hill Jumper burns the spark of a hero. On the outside he's a paranoid, trigger-happy jerk with serious impulse-control problems. He utterly hates the Cons. He also hates traitors. And anybody could be a traitor. Therefore, he hates everybody. It's unclear if he hates traitors more than he hates Cons, but it's at least a neck-and-neck thing. He makes a habit of pulling ridiculously huge guns out of nowhere and attacking impulsively despite orders or sanity. Somehow, this gets him neither killed nor demoted.
