Jonn Whitson is a young human living on Omega. He desires to answer the mercenary call to fight the vigilante Archangel as a "freelancer". Growing up on Omega, Whitson seems very confident of his abilities in a fight and wants to sign up with the mercs despite his youth and inexperience, even purchasing a 50-credit Shuriken for the job. When he makes his way to Afterlife to sign up, he happens to be next in line to a heavily-armed squad: Commander Shepard's team has just signed on to help the mercs "take down" Archangel. Shepard notes his appearance, but Whitson claims he can take care of himself. The Commander can forcefully dissuade him from signing up.
