Bio:

Jazz describes himself as a self-taught jazz pianist and elite pilot who has “uniquely balanced his creative and analytical minds.” He's a distinguished Academy alumnus, having graduated at the top of his class.

“I know I'm talented and well-trained, just like most of our Confederation pilots,” Colson says as he mindfully strokes one of the ribbons decorating his uniform. “But it's poise that determines who survives in combat every time. That's where my training gives me an edge. Back on the Austin, I've implemented a visualography machine - it uses visualization techniques and holographic goggles to test and improve your combat reflex skills. I wouldn't say it's the train sim of the future, but it's close.”
