Biography
Jon Meta was an enigma to the nomad community for a long time. He has went out of his way on every possible occasion to claim brotherhood with the nomads, even when it was in his best interests to do otherwise. Those of the nomad community were wary at first, then puzzled. would a man put himself in danger for people he did not know? None of them knew that Jon considered himself a nomad from the moment he hijacked the first C-5B. At that moment, Jon Meta ceased being just an American.

Meta was raised to be a good boy. His family and their hardships taught him honor, decency, and responsibility, and his career as a military officer reinforced that. He was taught that an 'individual soldier is insignificant compared to the power of the unit in which he fought yet despite the honor and responsibility, Jon Meta was ordered to commit some deeds that troubled him, and as things got worse his fears were confirmed.

As the truth about the SouthAm became more and more evident, the soldiers who fought there had to make a choice; accept or rebel. The soldiers who left with Jon Meta understood that they had all been betrayed by the people who led them, and they were angry. Forming a corporation was a way of refusing to give in any more to the Gang of Four, to the other corporations, or to their own nightmares. They stole and cut deals to make it, but make it they did.

At sixty, Jon Meta shows no sign of slowing down. He has completed MetaKey, no doubt to the amazement of all critics. It is one of the two largest private construction projects ever attempted. The completion of MetaKey is only the first step in a larger plan: Jon Meta has grown obsessed with the idea of building his nomadic corporation a home. Not just an island like MetaKey, but somewhere to go if things get even worse on the surface of the Earth. Somewhere under the sea.

An undersea city would be safe from almost any natural disaster, and most man-made disasters, as well. It would also be a beacon to the people of the world, a flagrant message that if you want something fiercely enough, you can get it, even if you have to build it yourself. Huge underwater farms will feed it, and new technologies will allow it to grow.

Jon Meta is a driven man, with eyes are set like jewels in his hard face. His dress is formal for a nomad, though very casual for a corporate. Casual suits and paramilitary working clothes give him a hard edge. He is balding and pale, and is only a little heavier than he was in his prime. "Fail" is not in his lexicon,
