Owen Boston

Owen Boston was a Dragoon Peacekeeper and Instructor. He was a mentor to Jhonen Cross and a beloved member of The Eyrie. He was killed by The Wendigo as part of a message sent by The Crimson Queen to taunt Jhonen Cross and goad the Dragoon into a fruitless manhunt for The Queen.

History
Boston was a seasoned Colonial Military man before coming to Jericho some time after Jericho's Landing was established. He had served in the Titan Wars in the central systems but grew jaded of the conflict after his family was killed in an attack on Titan. Lost and broken, he soon found his way to Jericho where he was intent on killing himself through alcoholism or in a firefight. Instead, he found new purpose when he was bonded to his dragon, Luka. And he was swiftly accepted into The Dragoon as they were starting to establish themselves as Jericho's primary peacekeeping force.

In the years that followed, Boston proved himself time and again as a formidable warrior and capable lawman. However as age began to slow him, and his many wounds over years of service added to this he soon took to training the next generation of dragoon while still maintaining patrols throughout the southern region of Jericho's main continent.

At some point he discovered the burning remains of the Cross farmstead, and the barely alive Jhonen Cross. He saved Cross and took him to The Eyrie where he took it upon himself to train the young man, seeing the boy as a surrogate son with similar losses as his own. Boston trained Jhonen in secret when he initially failed the psych evaluation, helping Jhonen find purpose and focus enough to overcome his traumatic past.

Since then, Boston was a valued friend in Jhonen's eyes. The two of them often went on missions together.

Owen Boston's remains were discovered nailed to the back of his dragon, who had had its wings clipped by The Wendigo. Owen himself had been brutally tortured and mutilated, all as a message to Jhonen Cross sent by The Crimson Queen as call to war.

His death is what spurred on The Jericho Council and Dragoon to finally address the issue of The Crimson Kingdom. And allowed Jhonen a chance to finally track down his nemesis and kill her once and for all.

Other Information
Owen Boston carried two signature blasters on his person, using them often during his time as a Dragoon. They were so iconic he gained the codename "Akimbo" due to his unique shooting style. The blasters are now in Jhonen's keeping, seeing continued service in honor of his fallen mentor.
