Born to a pair of well known Chinese astrophysicists in San Francisco, Jianyu Liao was homeschooled for the majority of his early life. Jianyu is an only child, and quickly became a favorite of his parents' research team. Unsurprisingly, Jianyu picked up on the studious nature of his surroundings and became an exceptionally bright student. Jianyu's father Zhang was a wielder of Psycho-Thaumaturgy, and he passed that down to his son. Yearning for adventure and exploration, his parents reluctantly let him to attend a flight academy and get his Pilot's license. Graduating top of his class, Jianyu declined every immediate job offer, opting to continue going to school for navigational research. Graduating with a Master's Degree in navigational technology, Jianyu had debated returning to school for doctoral research like his parents but instead crossed paths with Nicholas Stafford-- The co-captain of Hatchet. Seeing his opportunity for adventure dangling in front of his nose, Jianyu jumps at Stafford’s offer of mentorship. Since his signing on, Jianyu has been an invaluable addition to the team, gaining the respect of all of the crew members very quickly with his vast knowledge of computers.
