Jedd has a history behind him, having served 5 years prior service with the Army, has served in two tours in combat (with which during one tour their patrol had been ambushed, and his direct leadership, in his eyes, acted like chickens with their heads chopped off. Jedd had taken charge, and lead himself and the squad to safety after days of being under fire. Minimal casualties, though two of his men died - which haunts him every day, his leadership gained him advancements in rank rather quickly, ETSing at a grade of E-7/Sergeant First Class), and was a civilian for a short period of time, before deciding that civvy life was too unorganized, He volunteered to go back in the service, though due to his team being separated (through unit transfers, promotion, death, etc.) and the unit he would have been assigned to was no longer anywhere near the way it used to be he decided that he might as well go for a change as well, and signed up to a different branch entirely, the USAF. Overall, for some odd reason he didn't know, he was mostly left alone. He used his time however to better himself, continuing his training in combatives, weaponry, and academic studies that would pertain to the military, such as navigation, map reading and so on. Several years and one promotion down the line, and his career going nowhere, Jedd caught wind of a ship heading out to one of the border colonies, The USAF Phoenix, and they needed crew. Jedd of course volunteered. The main crew had known each other quite well prior to his enlistment even, that much was a given by how they interacted with each other. Jedd didn't really care where he was stationed anymore; he just wanted to keep moving to forget the past, which he almost never spoke of.
Visual description: Jedd has war scars, some are not visible readily; most are concealed beneath clothing, aside from his right arm, which are covered by a bracer he wears, claiming it's for support. The scars there were caused by shrapnel from an exploding artillery round that went off nearby, as he was struggling to provide his own body as cover for an injured team-member. That team member is still alive. Another, lesser known scar actually created a welt that is now a bare patch of skin that fur will not grow upon, however the location is on his right thigh, and often covered by his trousers.
Jedd wears his hair long, kept in a ponytail neatly behind him, though his bangs are kept long enough to cover his eyes should he decide he doesn't want to talk to or see anyone.
His eyes are a deep blue, and his relaxed facial expression makes him appear angry, even when he is not.
He is often seen wearing the standard issue camouflage uniform, though when off duty he has been known to take the overjacket off, revealing the khaki t-shirt beneath. The scar on his right arm is just visible over the edge of the bracer.
