== Attributes and Abilities ==
{{image|Jerkface.PNG|side=right|width=
=== Flying ===
Jorgen is a very good pilot. Not only because he has trained since being fourteen, but because he does like it and is very diligent in his training. He proves himself since their first flight at school.{{book ref|Skyward|9}}
He is able to keep calm and assess situations even under very tense battles, he does care and try to push his team to victory and safety.{{book ref|Skyward|19}} He has studied the Krell and is curious and concerned on the military strategy of both sides.{{book ref|Skyward|41}}
=== Cytonics ===
Jorgen is a Cytonic. Originally he was unable to use his abilities, lacking skill and precision. He is able to communicate, after a little practice, with the taynix and convince them to use their abilities. He is able to sense other cytonics with precision, and discovers the taynix colonies in the caverns of Detritus by hearing their cytonic vibrations. [[Becca Nightshade|Gran-Gran]] and Alanik help him learn to meditate and deepen his connection to the nowhere.{{book ref|sky2|i|2}}{{book ref|sf2|16}} [[Juno]], reading from old texts that the [[kitsen]] cytonics left, helps Jorgen control mindblades. He becomes capable enough with them to destroy other ships while flying, a dangerous technique that requires skill.{{book ref|sf2|10}}{{book ref|sf3|12}} He also is able to use his cytonic powers to communicate telepathically with anyone, regardless of their cytonic ability. According to the kitsen records, the ability was very advanced and very few cytonics achieved it. Though he is able to use these abilities he is less practiced when moving in the nowhere, and [[Spensa]] describes his cytonic projection as loud and unrefined, though powerful.{{book ref|sky3|i|3}}▼

|I’d spent so long wishing I could keep up with Spensa, with Alanik, wishing I wasn’t so hopeless at using my powers - wishing I could harness them to protect the people I loved. But somehow I’d still never made this connection. I was dangerous.

== History ==
}}
Arriving outside Hollow, Jorgen learned about ReDawn from Alanik. They chased after the Superiority transport that Alanik’s allies were on, Skyward Flight engaging Unity pilots. With Jorgen and the others holding off the enemy pilots, they were able to take down the transport and bring it to safety with light-lances.{{book ref|sf2|8}}
After hyperjumping to a different location so that the Independence prisoners could scramble their fighters, Jorgen and Skyward Flight fought off more Unity ships. Eventually, they retreated to [[Wandering Leaf]], a floating Weaponized platforms. Jorgen and the others used their taynix to teleport themselves and the Independence pilots underneath the turrets. They made it safely to the hangar while Alanik

All the doors were locked and reinforced, and the room was visible through a reinforced pain of glass. Alanik joined Jorgen as they tried to find a way into the room or find the cytonic inhibitor to free them, but failed. Jeshua shouted through the glass to Jorgen, telling him to go. Out of time and realizing that they wouldn’t be able to save the politicians, Alanik hyperjumped herself and Jorgen back to Wandering Leaf, against Jorgen’s will.{{book ref|sf2|23}}
They emerged in the hangar of Wandering Leaf, Jorgen watching the ship explode, taking his parents with it. Jorgen told the others that they were going to head down to Platform Prime, as there was things they needed to take care of.{{book ref|sf2|epilogue}}

|If Cobb were here, he would agree with me because you people are a mess without him. If you want proof, look at what happened to the delegation you sent!

}}
Jorgen and Skyward Flight went down to Platform Prime, and Jorgen goes up to meet with [[Stoff|Vice Admiral Stoff]]. Jorgen explained what happened with the fake Cobb, and Stoff doesn’t fully believe him. Jorgen yelled at Stoff, saying that he was going to finalize their alliance with the UrDail, and then find Cobb and Gran-Gran. Jorgen reasoned that Cobb is still in command, and that he is following Cobb’s last orders.{{book ref|sf3|1}} Over the next few days, Alanik and Jorgen both tried searching for Gran-Gran with their powers, Jorgen learning more about how to lose his powers but still not finding them. Jorgen received a communication from [[Kauri]], a kitsen who asked to be put in touch with Spensa. After talking with Cuna and Stoff, Jorgen was given authority to try and make an alliance with the kitsen. They held a further meeting with Kauri, who tells them that Cobb and Gran-Gran hyperjumped to the kitsen planet, and are unconscious. Cobb gave his permission, and Jorgen took Skyward Flight, Cuna, and a medical team to Evershore using coordinates Kauri gave him.{{book ref|sf3|4}}
=== Dealings with the Kitsen ===
{{quote
|Which one of you is the human Jerkface?
|Kauri upon greeting Skyward Flight{{book ref|sf3|5}}
}}
When they arrived, they were greeted by Kauri and her crew, along with a more aggressive kitsen named Goro who demanded that the humans leave and cease their invasion. Jorgen tried to be diplomatic, but allowed FM to do most of the talking.{{book ref|sf3|5}} Kauri took them to the kitsen city of [[Dreamspring]], where Jorgen and Alanik inspected Gran-Gran and Cobb. Neither Jorgen or Alanik could feel any cytonic signal from Gran-Gran, but neither knew why. While having a feast with the kitsen, Jorgen met [[Juno]], a kitsen lorekeeper who had studied cytonics extensively, though there haven’t been kitsen cytonics for a long time. FM tried to talk to Jorgen several times about what happened with his parents, but Jorgen refused to discuss it.
The kitsen held a senate meeting to decide what to do with the humans’ proposal of an alliance, with Kauri arguing on Jorgen’s behalf. Jorgen asserted that he is sincere, and has no interest in fighting with the kitsen. As the members debated, Jorgen sat in silence, emotions becoming wound up inside of him.{{book ref|sf3|8}}
{{sidequote
|We’re not here to hurt you. We only want you to understand that we have tools to fight the Superiority. It is possible for us to beat them, but only if we work together.
|Jorgen speaking before the kitsen senate{{book ref|sf3|8}}

Jorgen grew frustrated, and suddenly shot mindblades everywhere into the senate chamber. Though the blades weren’t fully formed, they caused complete chaos in the room. After Jorgen got everyone’s attention, he tried to save face. He warned of what the Superiority did to the human National Assembly, and reminded them that they have a common enemy.{{book ref|sf3|8}} FM talked with Jorgen afterwards, helping him feel better and alleviating some of his guilt for what happened. Juno, the lorekeeper, offered to help Jorgen master his mindblades. Juno took Jorgen to a remote region, and read ancient cytonic meditations, which helped Jorgen relax. With Juno’s advice on visualizing his mindblades forming, Jorgen was able to gain more control with his mindblades.{{book ref|sf3|10}} Jorgen heard voices in his mind, pleading for him to help them. Jorgen met with the medtechs, and discovered that when they tried to move the unconscious Gran-Gran and Cobb, their conditions worsened rapidly. Jorgen had Juno take him to where Gran-Gran and Cobb had first appeared, and discovered a nowhere portal in the kitsen library. Jorgen wondered if the kitsen cytonics might be trapped behind there, but was interrupted as a Superiority carrier ship arrived in the atmosphere.{{book ref|sf3|11}}
=== The Fight for Evershore ===
{{quote
|Goro, we’re defending ourselves, and your people as well. The Superiority were willing to turn on the UrDail for harboring us, and they’ll do the same to you.
|Jorgen to Goro as they fly into battle{{book ref|sf3|12}}
}}
Jorgen flew into battle with Skyward Flight, Juno riding along in his cockpit to help Jorgen with his mindblades. When more Superiority reinforcements arrived, Jorgen and FM hyperjumped back to Detritus to speak with Stoff. Stoff loaded all the responsibility onto Jorgen, who decided to bring Wandering Leaf and three DDF flights back to Evershore. He also put Rig on the task of trying to gain control of Detritus’ individual platforms, to send some to Evershore.{{book ref|sf3|13}} Jorgen rejoined the fray back at Evershore, directing the DDF pilots to defend Dreamspring. A Superiority cytonic with mindblades attacked Jorgen, destroying his ship, but Jorgen managed to kill the enemy with his own mindblades.{{book ref|sf3|15}}
Jorgen went back to Rig on Detritus. Rig showed Jorgen the hundreds of empty taynix boxes, saying he doesn’t fully know how to operate the platforms, and that they don’t have enough taynix. Jorgen quested out with his cytonic senses, finding many slugs in the caverns and promising them food and friendship. Fine joined in, telling the taynix how well the humans cared for their slugs. Suddenly, hundreds of slugs appeared on the platform, brought by hyperslugs. Snuggles, Boomslug, and Fine helped herd some of the slugs into the correct places, and Jorgen left Rig to figure out how to move the platforms.{{book ref|sf3|15}}

|I breathed in rhythm with the vibrations. I wasn’t relaxed, but I was calm. I was at peace.
|Jorgen focusing on trying to open the portal{{book ref|sf3|17}}

}}
Jorgen went back to Evershore, inspecting the nowhere portal in the kitsen library where the medtechs had moved Cobb and Gran-Gran. After talking with Gran-Gran cytonically through the portal, Jorgen figured out a way to unlock it. Several ancient kitsen cytonics emerged from the portal, and Cobb and Gran-Gran began to stir. The kitsen cytonics had been sucked into the portal years ago, and Gran-Gran and Cobb had gotten stuck when they followed the kitsens’ voices.{{book ref|sf3|17}}
More Superiority ships arrived, including a lifebuster, and Jorgen ordered the evacuation of the kitsen senate members. After Alanik dealt with the lifebuster, Jorgen saw the Superiorty changing their tactics, and targeting many kitsen cities at once in a spread-out attack.{{book ref|sf3|18}}
{{sidequote
|We brought company. All of it.
|Jorgen to Alanik after transporting Detritus{{book ref|sf3|20}}

}}
Jorgen gave orders to many members of his flight, then went back to Rig on Detritus, who was figuring out how to move the platforms. When Rig and his engineers were ready, Jorgen had the slugs hyperjump their platforms to Evershore. To his surprise, he not only brought several platforms with him, but the entire planet of Detritus as well.{{book ref|sf3|19}} With the weapons on the platforms, and with Rig and his engineers sending out individual platforms to protect kitsen cities, they quickly began to win. Jorgen sent out a cytonic communication to all their pilots, encouraging them and instilling them with confidence. Several of the commslugs boosted his signal, and the Superiority soon retreated, leaving quickly.{{book ref|sf3|20}}
=== Promotion ===
{{quote
|None of that changes the incredible work you’ve done here. If this is what you do when your judgement is ‘impaired’, I’d like to see what you do when you’re thinking clearly.
|Cobb to Jorgen{{book ref|sf3|21}}
}}
Afterward, Jorgen and FM met with Cobb and Stoff, and FM revealed how Stoff had shoved all responsibility onto Jorgen to avoid any blame if things went wrong. After telling FM and Stoff to leave them, Cobb told Jorgen that he was impressed, and decided to promote Jorgen to vice admiral, which was a shock to Jorgen.{{book ref|sf3|21}} After leaving Cobb, Jorgen talked with FM, telling her of his promotion. He asked her if she would leave behind active combat to be in charge of Detritus’ diplomatic program. She agreed, knowing that they both won’t get to fly missions with Skyward Flight anymore. Jorgen decided to put Arturo in charge of Skyward Flight in his place.{{book ref|sf3|epilogue}}
