Jaren

First Appearance
The first appearance of Jaren was in Issue 8 of Wayward Sons: Legends. He was introduced alongside fellow Ulympian, S'Ket.

Biography
Jaren started his career working in research institutes on Parthenia Prime but after Kronos ' attack on Torsica, he transferred into the military hoping he'd be able to contribute something to the war effort. While he didn't have the combat expertise expected of a military officer, he hoped that his scientific mind would counterbalance this and allow him to help in the conflict.

Personality
Nervous by nature, Jaren buried himself in his work in the years leading up to the crash. After he was exposed to the star core though he gained a sense of confidence spurred on by the knowledge that he would always know what to say and do, no matter what. Suffice it to say, nobody gambles with Jaren any more!

Powers
Jaren has a limited form of precognition that allows him to read causal timelines. While it doesn't grant him anywhere near the foresight of Cassandra, it allows him to presistently see up to 30 seconds into the future without effort and while exerting himself to extend this to almost an hour. This gift lets him see every possible outcome of his actions and tailor his responses accordingly.

Equipment
While Jaren is capable of using nearly any weapon thanks to his powers, to date he has not shown a preference to anything in particular.

Derivation
Jaren is an original character created as part of the Book 1 pre-order event. His powers were based on those of Cris from the Philip K. Dick novelette, "The Golden Man" and to a lesser extent on the film that was based on it, "Next".
