Prester Jon is a
Fictional character biography
Prester Jon's story began 10 years in the future; or rather, the false future where
Prester Jon was born as Jon Levine. He had a twin sister named Carrie who would become Redwing. Their parents were scientists who worked at
The Levines went underground to protect their children. Lord Chaos unearthed their metahuman research and subverted it for his own purposes. He used the information to track metahumans, so he could eliminate any potential opposition to his rule. Lord Chaos was able to hunt the Levines down, and Carrie and Jon's parents were killed. Carrie and Jon both joined the underground and became members of Team Titans.
During a skirmish, Jon was forced to merge with a computer, abandoning his physical body, which was, in turn, destroyed. Now without a body, Prester Jon (as he was now called) lived within the computer circuitry. This enabled him to interface with the other Team Titans members via wrist bracelets, keeping the team apprised of each other's activities, and assisting as his computer-interface abilities allowed him.
Shortly thereafter, the Team Titans leader gave the team a mission: travel 10 years into the past to stop Chaos from ever being born. To accomplish this, the Teamers were assigned to kill Donna Troy before she would give birth to the child who would become Lord Chaos. The Teamers successfully traveled to the past which came into conflict with the Titans. Donna gave birth to her son before the Teamers could intervene. However, the Titans and the Team Titans were able to stop Chaos and spare Donna's life at the same time.
After this, the Teamers found themselves stranded in the past, unable to return to their future. With nowhere else to go, they resided at Donna Troy's New Jersey farmhouse. The Teamers tried to find a place in this new world. At one time, the Teamers searched for their counterparts in a timeline. Redwing discovered that the Levines had twin girls, instead of boy/girl twins.
Later, the Teamers came in contact with the alien Technis, which helped save
Shortly after this, the Teamers lives were disrupted by the time crisis known as
Strangely enough, three people remained unscathed from Monarch's false timeline: Tara Markov (
The rest of the Team Titans, including Prester Jon, ceased to exist altogether. It is unknown whether a version of Prester Jon has, or will, exist in this timeline.
