Biography
John Reese
John was an adopted child that had no contact with his birth family. (Episode: Truth Be Told) Reese was close to his adoptive father Conor who said that when John was 8 years old he tried to teach his son how to drive and he damaged some neighbors' property (Episode: Point of Origin). It is mentioned that Conor was an Army soldier and died shortly after returning from his fourth combat tour in Vietnam when John was a child. (Episode: Lethe. He went back into a situation described as being 'the gates of Hell' and gave his life to save four people. The death of his adoptive father in such a heroic way inspired John to save lives himself. (Episode: Return 0) Meanwhile, John's adoptive mother, Margaret, also died and his claim that he had no siblings would suggest that he did not have a chance to know his sister, Sophie. (Episode: Truth Be Told) John claimed to be the one who kept the school bullies in line during his academic career. (Episode: Point of Origin). At some point, he was forced to choose between jail or enlisting in the military because of a violent fight he was involved in as a young man. He opted for the military, and entered the Army shortly thereafter. (Episode: Liberty)
