Background

Legends of later days tell of Sentinel as a man in whom the blood of Hesiesh ran so deeply that he was born an Exalt. In truth, his birth was not quite so auspicious, though signs were abound from the time of his birth that his destiny would be one to stand out even among the Dragons' other Chosen. He was born in the Imperial Palace during Calibration during a time period in which his father was a top military adviser to the Scarlet Empress. Though they originally hailed from an agricultural town in the Jaen-ha plains, the Empress had them re-located to the Imperial City, so as to better feed upon Jacen's military brilliance. After being born, Sentinel was sent to the Arjuf Dominion, where he lived with relatives until he was old enough to attend primary school. To the chagrin of his father, he was not a good student, by Dynastic standards, and fought often with other students, notorious for turning even the smallest of squabbles of violent. He returned to the Imperial City during his off time, visiting frequently with his parents. He saw little of his father, who often carried away in the busy life of a Legionnaire general. Though his mother, a learned sorceress, was formally a low-ranking Senator, she practiced a much more significant duty in secret; the Empress had called upon from his mother the favor owed by all Heptagram graduates, asking her to be a set of eyes and ears within the walls of the Deliberative.
