Background

• Jasper wasn’t always so stoic and cold, he was once happy and often seen smiling. His childhood was like any other though not particularly close with his parents due to them prioritizing their careers but he never wanted for anything and he had a great group of friends. Things were further bettered when Jasper met Milia and didn’t take long for her to become the very center of his world. Unfortunately their love wasn’t to last and thirteen years ago she was tragically killed in a car accident. Ever since that day Jasper became a different person. The unyielding English professor at the local university that strikes fear in the hearts of students. He prides himself on his career, viewing it as the only thing he has left, and isn’t known for taking it easy on students because he believes that each of them has the potential. He’s also fond of his secret work as an author, crafting enchanting stories of prevailing love, unimaginable sorrows, and adventure which he writes under the pen name Silas Tavora.
