    Chris becomes very lonely and depressed while alone in the Monsatery. The Goddess Sha'lek contacts him, perhaps out of pity or genuine compassion. The two forge a bond as strong as family, Chris even refering to her as his mother over Sarah Jameson.
  • Splitting of the Soul

    Chris is kidnapped by a Legacy Chain mage, who attempts a ritual to seperate Chris from Sha'lek. Monastery master Ganthet intervenes and kills the mage. The botched ritual splits Chris' soul in two. The second soul lacks any and all emotion, and operates purely on logic. Chris refers to it as 'The Other'
  • First appearance by the Rikti

    The Rikti return with a much stronger force. Chris aids in fighting off the Rikti. There were many casualties, and large sections of the Monsatery were turned to rubble.
  • Seeing the World

    Chris is given the title Lightbringer, designating him a graduated student of the Monastery. He leaves to explore the USA, going by the title of 'Lightbringer Jameson'. The Monastery explains to him a custom of never giving away his first name unless those he tells can be absolutely trusted.

  • Family Matters

    saved Polar Shift from execution. Encountered uncle Richard Jameson, who turned out to be a Longbow Officer, as well as the one spear heading the excecution. The family reunion was fairly bitter.
  • This little spider...

    Assisted in a strike force to stop Lord Recluse and the Web Device. The Task Force ended in a stalemate, with the device's development hindred greatly.
  • ...Climbed up the water spout

    Recluse turns up at Pocket D while Chris is enjoying a drink. It was a very tense few minutes
  • Omega Level

    Paladin Jameson attains Security Level 50, a fact he is still intimidated and confused by. Shortly after this, he was requisitioned for a task given by both the Monastery and the Freedom Phalanx. What he's been asked to do is currently confidential.
  • Matters of the Heart

    Paladin Jameson enters a relationship with Cross Strike
  • It's all a Nemesis Plot

    Paladin Jameson enters a task force to fight the Fifth Column, during which, other villains entered the fray, Nemesis (well, a duplicate, but close enough) being among them. During the battle, Gyrfalcon mannages to beat Paladin to the floor and holds a pistol to his head. However, Paladin was saved by Nemesis, who knocked Gyrfalcon onto his back with a swing from the Nemesis staff. Whether it was accident or design, the event shook Paladin to his core.
  • There's red on you

    The Other takes over and takes the lives of several escaping prisoners from the BAF. Traumatised, Paladin sought comfort with Cross Strike. The event resulted in the two confessing their love for each other.
  • Demonised

    Another of many blows to Paladin's confidence causes a collossal downfall in his performance. Restriciting his power in an great effort to prevent the Other from emerging again, he finds it harder and harder to keep up with the tasks he was 'meant for' at omega level. This eventually leads to not using his powers at all, fighting thugs and common thieves in Steel Canyon or Atlas Park, and even struggling to keep up with that. Eventually, he is convinced by others to continue his usual duties
  • Duplicity

    Paladin finally snaps and his second soul takes over! Going on a vicious rampage, the rest of the Pariah Project spring into action, and rescue him before his capture by Arachnos. After venturing inside his mind and purging the second soul, Paladin returned to normal.
  • The Depressing Tale of Jameson

    A lot has happened since the last event. Paladin's self esteem goes downhill, believing himself to be week (though, this isn't helped by the advice given by so many people) While making mistakes often, he works hard to fix this and becomes a new person, becoming stronger than he ever was, and starting his work towards providing a future for him and Mina.
