When Jason was 6 months old, his father left without a reason (because of his duties as an Assassin) but Jason's mother assumed it was because he was afraid of responsibility. In 1994, at age 6, Jason's mother married a programmer named Jerry, Jerry loved Jason as his own son and Jason returned the feelings. Jerry taught Jason how to program thus making him have a talent for "hacking". In 2006, Jason graduated high school and went into programming with his "father". Eventually in September, 2012, Jason left his father's wing and became a programmer at Abstergo Industries facility in Toronto.

Subject 18[]
After 2 years of working at Abstergo, the CEO asked for Jason's help as the Animus was being "glitchy". Jason fixed the Animus and tested it by putting it on, which caused him to accidentally go into the genetic memories of his ancestor. After ejecting himself from the Animus, Jason discovered he was in a different room, he then saw a video of the CEO explaining that he tricked Jason into entering the Animus so they could re-locate him to an enclosed room and his only way out is to relive the memories of his ancestor. Jason had no choice but to follow the CEO's orders. While reliving the genetic memory of his ancestor he discovered the generation long feud against the two groups known as the Assassins and Templars, Jason discovered that he descended from Assassins and Abstergo must of been Templars. The next day, Abstergo supplied him with new clothing and Jason knew he had to escape. Jason devised a plan to lure an Abstergo agent, knock him out and take his gun. The plan worked, but while he was escaping he suffered from the Bleeding Effect and alerted the guards, Jason used the Bleeding Effect to kill the guards and escape. He then encountered Juhani Otso Berg who scratched him with his blade, Jason suffered from the Bleeding Effect but Jason remained enough control to knock out Berg, Jason also took his Hidden Blade and escaped. Jason's blood dripped on the floor and Abstergo scientists took it and analysed it.
