LEADER JASPER

[admin]

LEADER JASPER is an archivist at the Libertina Museum, but he is also a research professor (on extended sabbatical) and the gym leader of Proserpina City. Others in his place might brush off gym responsibilities, but Jasper is always willing to give a challenger his time.

"We write our history books, but nature writes its history in stone. These rocks are books. You can read them, if you learn their language."

Jasper grew up in Grimer Court. He had nothing, but he liked going to school, both because he liked learning and because school meals were free. He was a scrawny kid with no merit to him besides a curious mind.

He worked his way to everything. He took up pokemon training to earn his place as a trainer at Proserpina Gym. He used his access to Libertina's resources to study harder than ever before, to earn a scholarship at the prestigious Kohaku University. As his career soared, he did not forget where he came from.

Education and opportunity mean everything to him. He spends his spare time as a volunteer tutor to help struggling students and to teach summer remedial classes. Jasper is popular among the people of Proserpina, but in some circles, he's nothing more than a street urchin that got lucky.
