Jon may be a liar, thief, and scam-artist extraordinaire, but there are lines he refuses to cross. Over the years, these developed into a sort of code, or at least a personal philosophy:

• Take whatever you like, but never infringe on another being's freedom; slavers are the worst sort of scum in Jon's eyes.

• Always pay back a debt. When a job is done, everyone gets an equal share.

• Never deal in weapons.

• Pull your own weight; anyone who falls behind is left behind.

It's no Jedi or Sith Code, but it's guided Jon for a long time, and they're the only rules he refuses to break.

Jon Silvon is the grandson and protege of the Imperial Intelligence operative Jon Argus. Under his grandfather's tutelage, Jon Silvon learned everything there was to know about the arts of deception and manipulation.

Once upon a time, he used that skill set to lookout for himself, making a living in the criminal underworld as a confidence man and information broker. Now he puts them to use for the Brotherhood, hoping to carve his identity apart from his grandfather's legacy.

But a lifetime of lies and aliases has left him with a difficulty recognizing the truth when he sees it, in himself most of all. Jon's greatest fear is losing himself under all the lies, and forgetting the "real" Jon Silvon in the process.

Despite an aversion for physical confrontation, Jon Silvon has a quick-witted and sharp sense of humour, and never passes up the opportunity to make a quip or jibe about his situation, or to taunt his enemies. While some find Jon Silvon to be funny and likeable, others do not always respond so warmly, and occasionally Jon Silvon will get himself into more trouble than he thought when someone takes a joke the wrong way.

Copious amounts of buffoonery, tom-fooling, and appropriately placed stupidity tend to lend the impression that Jon is...well, a moron. Which is exactly how he likes it, as it keeps guards lowered and expectations down. Of course, how much is an act is still up for debate.

Unfortunately, this has the tendency to make it harder for his allies to take him seriously when he needs them too, and few trust him at his word.

Sometimes the only way to prepare for the worst is to always expect it. Jon Silvon takes this philosophy one step further by never leaving home without accounting for every possible scenario he might expect to encounter. Jon Silvon tends to always have the right tool or item for a situation and has a habit of quietly and almost smugly presenting solutions before anyone even recognizes there is a problem. This foresight is far from infallible, however, and he often finds himself at a loss in situations that go beyond what he could have imagined. While incredibly practical and often a life-saver in a pinch, his perpetually pessimistic outlook on daily life can be a bit draining on more optimistic-inclined companions.

Fond of staying alive and prepared, Jon Silvon keeps several bladed weapons hidden on his person at all times and in all different locations. Jon Silvon switches these locations periodically in order to maintain an element of surprise even among his allies who know him. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that he is slower to draw one of these weapons if he forgets where he stashed them.
