Jean-Marie Laurent is a simple man. He has a wife, a car, a house, a job. He likes fantasy novels and science fiction television shows. A simple childhood with an unremarkable time in school. Most of his life was spent as a groundskeeper at the WHO headquarters in his hometown. He did well in his position and eventually went back to school to study medicine. He took an interest in epidemiology and completed his degree taking a position at his former place of employment. Mentally he suffered a great deal during the initial pandemic, pushing himself into overwork. Towards September, he agreed to join a force departing for Norway believing the work would be alleviative in comparison.
