Jason Michael Xander was born in New York City on April 11th, 1945, to James and Clara Xander. James Xander was a highly successful lawyer, which afforded them a life of great privilege. As a young boy, Jason found the concept of flight to be fascinating. He would often lay in the grass for hours on end, staring to the endless blue sky. He found peace in it, and dreamed of one day becoming a pilot. His father wouldn't have it however, he told Jason that his dreams were frivolous. He would become a lawyer, and carry on the family name. Jason accepted this, but held his dreams secretly inside.
