01. known by the public as michail volkov, son of dmitri volkov and sole heir of WYNDON CROSS PHARMACUTICALS inc. after the death of his family line, he inherited the company and all the accruing debt.
[break][break]
02. WYNDON CROSS is still very popular among healthcare companies and smaller out-patient clinics, especially still in Galar where the company originated. Since the ceremonious death of the CEO, the transferral of ownership came to the only living heir - jayden. however as the boy is still young, the board controls most of the mode of operations.

jayden's current task is creating a branch in hoenn, of which he has started at rustboro with the help of his childhood friend illeana reyes and her connections.

03. michail volkov is rumored to be doing research and a master's program at slateport university in hoenn, where he is training to take up the mantles of his company name. though, no one is really sure. dmitri was always secretive about his family's whereabouts.

01. after the failed invasion at fallarbor, jayden cross was unaccounted for. largely, the league was disinterested in his file — he was only an elite, and they had bigger fish to fry.

they are much more interested in alexander cross, who was his brother, but unfortunately he too was not one of the many captured and arrested. on file, alexander has allegations of assault, murder, theft, and illicit drug deals.

02. jayden cross is an inherited team rocket member — meaning he was born from two other team rocket members, and was not one who was coerced or blackmailed into joining. [break][break]
03. his father, nikolai cross, was reported dead at the exact same moment that deaths of dmitri volkov and cäcilia cross made headlines of the local news.

interestingly enough, their bodies were not found on the crime scene either.

04. there are rumors of a connection between wyndon cross pharmaceuticals and team rocket. as the pharmaceutical company had many shareholders that were arrested after the invasion and ultrabeast war.

the company was brought into lime-light quickly after the death of immanual cross, a former ceo and founder. it quickly became the home of some of the most reliably-sourced drugs and pokemon medicine — first in galar, then in hoenn. those who know the file well would rightfully suspicious of any shady dealings that might have occurred.

old rocket

[break][break]
01. was born to two esteemed team rocket executives, and has been involved in team rocket basically his entire life. officially joined the ranks when he was 14, but was known to do tasks or errands for other members before then.

his father is a terrifying man known as nikolai cross, whose personality is best comparable to the former team rocket boss silas blackwell in their shared ambition, bloodlust, and overall psychopathy. he was well-known for being perfectly companionable and gentlemanly one minute, and stabbing your chest with a knife in the second. the man feared nothing — and as a result, many feared him. [break][break]
he was a rocket executive in kanto, alongside his wife, and one of silas' trusted scientists. he helped recruit former head scientist Raphael Pryde into rocket, and was well-known in the organization for his perturbed interest in pokemon/human experimentation.

nikolai cross — also known as dmitri volkov, for those who knew him — was thought to have been a part of team rocket's ranks, since even kanto. however, once he disappeared to galar for a number of years, few saw of him until he returned to the organization and brought along his wife, and his two sons.

some might have mistaken cäcilia cross for one of those who had been coerced to join team rocket's ranks. as the original heir to wyndon cross inc., she grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. as such, for the most part, she seemed misplaced amongst the organization's violent and mentally disturbed characters. however, make no mistake, cäcilia was no less ruthless than her husband. her words were sharper blades than most people carried knives, and she was just as much of a perfectionist as her spouse. she branded team rocket loyalty on her heart, and was not afraid to make others bleed for it.

of note, unlike her husband and many other team rocket operatives, she did not bother to come up with an alias. she was cäcilia cross, and should that information have become a problem to someone — she would simply kill them. [break][break]
02. younger brother to alexander cross, also known as alexandre dmitriovich volkov.

alexandre has three personalities— alex, alexei, and aleks. jayden does not like to talk about him. the subject is... rather taboo.

03. even from a young age, jayden was probably often seen with multiple bruises and scars on his person. if asked, he would say he tripped or fell down the stairs. many knew better. few elected to do anything about it. after all, the original team rocket was much less loyal and much more self-motivated, and under silas blackwell's rule, there was nothing wrong in punishing someone who deserved it.

the injuries seemed to be less, once he started hanging around the likes of Cillian Quinn , and the more his parents busied themselves with the civil unrest within the region.

04. was well-known among team rocket for being... well, not known at all. jayden was very good at disappearing, if he could help it, and being a fly on the wall should the situation call for it. [break][break]
05. as a person who was nearly reared within team rocket, he was a person who was very skilled. he was especially adept at lying, murder, lockpicking, pickpocket and theft. in addition, was known among others as someone who would do whatever he was asked of, without complaint, no matter how gruesome or terrible it might have been.

new rocket

[break][break]

01. disappeared for the better part of a year after the dismantlement of team rocket. his body was not found among the rubble, and neither was he reported to have been captured by the league. [break][break]
02. recruited back into team rocket by gavin merlino, due to his financial situation and personal ties. not to mention, his undying loyalty to the organization - which can't be snuffed out, even with dmitri's sudden passing. [break][break]
03. has been partaking in missions as a loyal rocket should, but recently got into a tough spot where he was poisoned and was put out of commission for a while. [break][break]
04. under his alias, he partook in the hoenn star tournament and placed quite highly on the list. putting his life on the line during the sootopolis invasion for underboss choi earned him the title of beast in rocket, alongside serena and rowan. [break][break]
05. however, after the star soiree (where he was ceremoniously stabbed by Roman Maher ) he was re-assigned to kanto and his beast title stripped from him. it's only been a few weeks since he's back on hoenn terrain, but he's eager to get back to work and learn about all the terrifying changes that are happening to the region. [break][break]

06. after the events of ddotd, jayden was promoted the title of rocket admin. he also is working closely alongside Felix Gallagher and mint frost in their sector of SPECTRA. their three-man party is named CEREBERUS, and they focus on tackling avatars Katherine Fairburne and MATIAS SILPH . for jayden, it's personal.

01. birth name is michail dmitriovich volkov. his family would call him mischa for a short-hand. [break][break]

02. at some point, alexandre's alter-ego attempted to take a bite out of him, which he is still traumatized by, among other things. [break][break]

03. he used to self-harm. he doesn't so much anymore, but the scars are still there. on bad days, he hides them in turtleneck and long sweaters. most days, he doesn't care anymore — he knows caring will only give them power. [break][break]

04. he has a tattoo on his upper back, by his shoulder. it is of a wolf and a raven, overlapping so much that they are one.

dmitri each of them with the same cryptic symbolism, since volkov means wolf. his mother's is of a wolf sitting down as it eyes a circling raven. alex has one of a wolf chasing a raven, nearly catching it. and dmitri's? it is of a wolf devouring a raven.

05. just like his brother, jayden underwent dmitri's ruthless training since birth, learning how to pick a lock, wield weaponry, scale walls. learning how to kill. one could assume that jayden's skills mean that he was raised to be an assassin or hitman. the truth, however, is much more cruel. his father raised him to be a tool, a pawn, for whatever dmitri needed. [break][break]

06. he suffers from nightmares and panic attacks on occasion. and sometimes voices too.
