Marsten Jones is the son of Travis and Louise Jones. Older brother to Leland Jones. Mars had a relatively good childhood. Ballparks, football, picnics and family outings. Strict disciplining if he or his brother fell out of line. Marsten had always been the more goal oriented. He strived to bring honor and pride to his parents. When he grew of the age of fifteen is when he realized something was off. The usual angry spurts had grown closer together. His body would grow hot in flashes and he couldn't help but want to eat near raw meat. As he got into frequent fights in high school, his parents realized it was time to inform him of his 'special' gene.

 

Keeping the secret close, he struggled to keep the beast under wraps. As he grew, his focus grew to contain his beast. With the guidance of his Father, he was able to shift without any horrendous act to follow. Marsten learned quickly, and soon his younger brother followed. Though he seemed not to keen on the idea of the secret. There had been often spats between the two brothers.

 

When Marsten turned eighteen, he enlisted into the United States Marine Corps. Yes, it was risky, given the fact of blood checks and analysis, though with the help of his Father's friend, Marsten was able to slip in undetected. Boot camp ended up being relatively easy for the man. He rose to top of his class. Travis and Louise Jones were relatively pleased and proud of their oldest son. The War in Afghanistan grew and the military was being fanned out in various spots. Marsten had been among the few that went to the sand box.
