Jon Littlefield

""Old at thirty" was not on any of the recruiting posters."

- Ardo Melnikov on Littlefield

Jon Littlefield was a Terran enlisted in the Confederate Marine Corps. He had a long, drawn out career.

At the events of StarCraft, Littlefield was in his early thirties. However, with iron-gray hair in long, unkempt strands, the faint grizzle of a beard, piercing dark eyes and a scarred and twisted face, he looked about a decade older.

Early Career
"I guess my style didn't mesh well with a lot of people."

- Littlefield reflects on his early service.

Serving in the Confederate Marines, Littlefield obtained the rank of Captain. His length of duty was extensive and, judging how no news of the destruction of Korhal reached him, isolated from Confederate Space. However, due to executing operations in a style that did not mesh well with his superiors (along with PFC Fetu Koura-Abi and others under his command), Littlefield bumped down to Sergeant, losing his commissioned officer status.

It is presumably in this period that Littlefield encountered Lieutenant L. Z. Breanne, whom he may have developed a slightly more than professional relationship with.

Mar Sara
"We're all brothers here-brothers in arms, brothers in combat. Face it, recruit, all we've got out here is each other."

- Littlefield to Ardo Melnikov

Circa December 2499, Littlefield was serving on Mar Sara in the 417th Confederate Marine Platoon under Lieutenant Breanne. The platoon was ferried to Bunker Complex 3847, having been given the assignment of reconning the settlement of Oasis and picking up a piece of Confederate equipment along the way. Littlefield was placed in command of Second Squad, leading PFC Fetu Koura-Abi, PFC Ardo Melnikov, Private Alley, Private Bernelli, Private Ekart and Private Xiang.

Courtesy of Melnikov stumbling into an underground pit, the 'recon' turned into a fierce firefight with the Zerg that had infested the settlement.
