JAKE'S FAMILY SITUATION
Jake Muller was born into an extremely poor family. As his father was missing in Jake's early childhood, the family finances were supported by his sickly mother.
If treated, she could have completely recovered from the illness she suffered from, but the family was pressed to the point it was difficult just to live a daily life, never mind the cost of his mother's medical treatment. Jake's mother worked hard and raised Jake with unstinting love.
Although she was a mild-mannered mother, the only thing she was sternly cautious about would be when Jake complained in regard to his missing father. From the bottom of her heart, his mother still loved her worse half who abandoned them. Under the influence of this, Jake also had a bitter impression of his lost father.
When Jake grew up, he made up his mind to become a mercenary for the rebel troops and fight. It was all for his mother, he was trying to return the favor by earning the money for her medical treatment. However, soon after Jake became a mercenary, his mother died of illness.
Having been raised in an extremely poor household, he was unable to save his mother from the illness as they had no money. His mother's death and his subsequent life as a mercenary left only a strong, deep attachment to money remaining in his heart.
Jake's mother wrote a letter to him on her sickbed.

"My beloved son, Jake. Please forgive your mother for leaving you alone so soon.
And please don't hate your father.
Your father surely still loves you from the bottom of his heart.
Stay strong and know that you will meet him one day."

ジェイクの家庭環境
ジェイク・ミューラーは極貧の家庭に生まれた。父は行方知れずのため、ジェイクの幼少時代、家計は病弱な母によって支えられていた。
彼女が患っていた病気は、治療を受ければ完治できるものだったが、家は、母の治療費どころか、日々の生活を送る事さえ厳しいほどに圧迫されていた。ジェイクの母は懸命に働き、ジェイクに惜しみない愛情を注いで育てた。
温厚な母だったが、ジェイクが行方不明の父親に対して文句を言ったときだけは、厳しく注意した。母は、自分たちを捨てた夫を、それでも心から愛していたのだ。その影響を受け、ジェイクも父親に対して悪い印象を持つことはなくなった。
成長したジェイクは、反政府軍の傭兵となって戦うことを決意する。全ては母のためであり、彼女の治療費を稼いで恩を返そうとしていたのである。しかし、ジェイクが傭兵となって間もなく、母は病死してしまった。
極貧の家庭で育ったことと、金がなかったために母を病から救えなかったこと。母の死と、その後の傭兵生活によってすさんだジェイクの心には、金に対する強い執着だけが残った。
ジェイクの母が病床でつづった手紙がある。
---
「愛する息子、ジェイク。先に逝ってしまうお母さんを許して。
そして、どうかお父さんを憎まないで。
お父さんは今も、きっとあなたのことも、心から愛してくれているわ。
いつか会える日を信じて、強く生きて」

JAKE'S CHILDHOOD
Jake Muller was born into a home without a father, and from an early age he had to support his chronically ill mother. She could have made a full recovery if the family could have afforded it, but Jake and Ms. Muller had barely enough money to cover their daily needs.
She tried her best to provide for the family, and did all she could to protect Jake. He loved his mother, but couldn't understand why she was still enamored with his father, the man who had abandoned them. To say Jake didn't think highly of his father would be an understatement.
When Jake got older, he decided he would become a mercenary, selling his services to the insurgents fighting the government. He had no love for politics; he just wanted to afford better medical care for his mother. Unfortunately, Ms. Muller passed away not long after he became a soldier of fortune.
Jake felt like he was alone in the world, and his heart was now hardened. His only concern was for money, even though he no longer had a pressing need for it.
His mother left a note for him next to her bed before she died.
---
I love you, Jake. I'm so sorry to have to leave you like this. Please forgive me. And please, don't hate your father. I'm sure he loves you and is thinking about you, and I know you two will find each other someday.
Stay strong.
