Age at the Reunion: 50-ish
Backstory I've Worked Out So Far: At some unspecified time in the future, Jon's love Martin made his way to Fandom. It was a wonderful reunion, but it reinforced in Jon's mind the monster he currently is, and he couldn't deal with it, so he found a way (and/or a person to help) to remove the Eye from him entirely.
Unfortunately, this also affected the memories he formed while under it - his memories of the time before the Magnus Institute are fine, but they get fuzzier after that, and he only really knows about the apocalypse because people have told him about it. Similarly, Fandom before he got the Eye removed is also fuzzy.
These days, it takes him a long time to learn new things and people. He carries a mini tablet around with faces of people he should know and information about them, as well as things like what he's supposed to be doing. He has difficulty staying focused on anything. He's liable to drift off mentally in the middle of a conversation and forget what he was talking about. He's just as smart as ever, and if you can get him talking about a hyperfocus of his, he can keep going for a while, but he has to set reminders every few minutes while he's cooking to remember what the next step is.
To Jon, this is a happy ending. He's has Martin and he's doing well. He still runs MHA, mostly without help, but he's given up on teaching, because it's mentally exhausting.
How Your Character Can Fit In: If you've been around Fandom, Jon will probably have you noted down. If you want to know him, you can. If there are specific things you want him to know or not know about you, let me know! If you know Jon, you will also know Martin (who is sir-not-appearing-at-this-reunion).
Oh, and if you want to have been involved in getting the Eye out of him, let me know that, too! When it happened and how are otherwise unspecified, because Jon cannot remember exactly.
