==History==
 
==History==
'''Jason Youngblood''' was the son of [[Jeremiah Youngblood]]. As an 18-year-old [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] [[cadet]] at the [[Pacifica Training School]], he recreated the [[Crescent Hawks]] and took command of the unit to fend off a [[Draconis Combine]] attack on [[Chara III]] in [[3028]]. Subsequently, he was promoted to [[Lieutenant]] and given the unit as his own by [[Katrina Steiner]]. He led the unit at least up to the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]] in late [[3051]], where he led the defense, first of part of the front line, later of the capital city itself. He flew over the battlefield several times, one landing beside [[Takashi Kurita]]. The irony to be fighting beside Kuritans, his family's traditional enemies, wasn't lost to him... but when Takashi respectfully bowed to him, Jason was so impressed than he abandoned all his hate to the Kuritans, returned the gesture and fought at his side.
 
Jason, as a handful of Hawks, survived the battle, but his LAM didn't. Once again in [[Arc-Royal]], [[Morgan Kell]] gifted him a new 'Mech, and convinced him to remain, as the Hawks, as part of the Hounds, but he, as the Hawks, were relieved of active duty and placed in charge of training a new generation of MechWarriors on anti-Clan tactics. He asked that to spend more time with his son.<ref>''Yesterday's Enemy'' </ref>

'''Jason Youngblood''' (b. ca.

As an 18-year old [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] [[cadet]] at the [[Pacifica Training School]], he re-created the [[Crescent Hawks]] and took command of the unit to fend off a [[Draconis Combine]] attack on [[Chara III]] in [[3028]]. Subsequently, he was promoted to [[Lieutenant]] and given the unit as his own by [[Katrina Steiner]]. He led the unit at least up to the [[Battle of Luthien (Clan Invasion)|Battle of Luthien]] in late [[3051]], whereupon the Hawks were relieved of active duty and placed in charge of training a new generation of MechWarriors on anti-Clan tactics.

For most of his career Jason Youngblood piloted the ''[[Phoenix Hawk LAM]]'' he inherited from his father, which he had found in a [[Star League]] cache. After it suffered crippling damage during the Crescent Hawks' participation in the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]], he was unable to make it repaired and started piloting an ordinary but brand-new ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' instead, which Morgan Kell had given him.<ref>''Combat Manual: Mercenaries''</ref><ref>''Yesterday's Enemy'' </ref>

When asked about the issue, [[Line Developer]] [[Herbert A. Beas II]] simply answered "No", apparently dismissing the theory altogether.<ref>In an official answer in [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,31644.0.html this thread] on the [[BattleTech Forum]]</ref>

This issue is also raised in Jason Youngblood's own profile in ''[[Spotlight On: Crescent Hawks]]'', but the character dismisses such claims as rumormongering.<ref>''Spotlight On: Crescent Hawks''</ref>

*Jason Youngblood was the player's alter ego in the [[Crescent Hawks Inception]] and [[Crescent Hawks Revenge]] computer games. Although the [[Canon|canonicity]] of computer games is generally questionable, most content from these particular games was canonized, including Jason, his father, the Crescent Hawks and the games' general storylines.

*Jason Youngblood and his Crescent Hawks make a [[canonical]] appearance after the Battle of Luthien in the novel ''[[Lost Destiny]]'', while his father and his ''[[Phoenix Hawk LAM]]'' were mentioned in the [[Kell Hounds]] roster in the canonical [[The Kell Hounds|Kell Hounds scenario book]]. The [[BattleCorps]] story ''[[Eclipse]]'' later revisited the Crescent Hawks under Jason's son Jeremiah.
