Good point. I guess I'm into idealist characters as well as ruthless dictators. But what if the ruthless origin was included. He'd have a sister named Jane as well who while not as famous as her brother John is a career soldier like the rest of her family. The origin would be simple John and Jane Shepard were born somewher in April 4th 2154 to a family of military officals who are also related to colonists on Meindor. After the slaver attack, John, shellshocked goes to Earth where he get's involved in shady deals until he enlists while Jane remains with their mother. Both become career soldiers with John becoming a decorated war hero before being demoralized after his survivor on Akuze and revenge on Torfan. Just an idea.
