What Jungen lacks in focus, he makes up for in mediocrity. The fourth son of a well-off mercenary sapper from Pösen, he always preferred playing with the servant's children than those in his own class. Despite this, as soon as he was of age, he was registered in the same military academy from which his father and older brothers had graduated. His father heard the phrase, "He's picked up the basics well enough, but he'll never be any good" enough times that he pondered composing an epic of that title. He finally sent Jungen to San Gustavo to study at Colegío de Santa Lucio, and politely (for Eisen) encouraged to him find his own path from there. After a rousing chorus of "he'll never be any good", an annoyed professor created a "vocational internship" program and stuck Jungen on a whaling vessel, figuring that would solve the problem for good.

It sort of did. Jungen found something about which he was passionate after the ship's Cook was pitched overboard during a nasty battle with a leviathan. Jungen LOVED to cook! He was a ship's cook on several vessels until he got drunk in a port bar in Altimira. When he awoke, he was penniless and his ship had left.

While he pondered what to do next, a commotion nearby drew his attention. There was a duel going on. One of the duellists was notably out-matched, but he fought quite bravely to the bitter end. The crowd cheered his name over and over. The better swordsman was almost ignored. Jungen was inspired by this. It's not necessarily a matter of ability. It's about application. And if he could apply himself to the betterment of the condition of man, he need never suffer from mediocrity again. Huzzah, Don Gallo!!!
