John Heston

John Heston (b.1971) was a trained hitman with higher skills than military general. He was one of the main characters in Pigs and the mafia Wiki series with him appearing in episodes 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Early life
John Heston was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1971 and was the only son to Anthony Heston and Mary Bones. His early life was spent in Detroit, however, when he was by the age of 11, his parents decided, that they should move to Belleville. By that time John's father had a project going on with a rising criminal and businessman Frank Veliano which was never revealed to John. However in 1984, Anthony and Frank had dissagreements with the project and so in the end Anthony threatened to expose Veliano 's crimes to the public. Veliano decided he should silence Anthony and his family, so one night he paid a visit to them, however Anthony knew this would happened, that's why he told Mary and John to hide underneath the house, while he went on a business trip. When Veliano came in the house, he first talked to Anthony's servant and then shot him dead, later setting the house on fire. Later Mary and John escaped underneath the house, however one of Veliano' s goons saw this and called others. Mary sacrificed herself in order for John to be able to escape. After this John knew he would have his revenge on Veliano. He was then taken into an orphanage where he met his new best friend called James Lory. After several years James was adopted by wealthy couple, a year later James encouraged his new parents to adopt John also, which they did, so now they both had a new home.

Joining the army
In 1989 John started planning how to avenge his mother, so he decided he should join the army. After a year in Fort Custer he was one of the few to be moved to Fort Indiantown in Pennsylvenia. During the same year he met James who started his training in the base, he wasn't as fast learner as John was and then they started to have dissagreements. Passed 4 years and John left the army after his last mission to Afghanistan which was quite a life-changing experience for him. He came back home to his adopted parents who knew that he had changed and he wasn't like he was before.

Becoming a hitman
One day in 1995 he was approached by Don Johnson from back in the army who told him that they are putting together a task force containing the best from the best, John accepted this deal and went on for the next 3 years as a part of this task force which consisted of 5 members and who called themselves Black Foxes. During the next 3 years every operation they had went smoothly and always was kept as a secret, everything about them was confidential, however, during Operation Black Mamba, they lost 2 members including John's friend from the army. No one knew what really happened, maybe it was a snitch, maybe bad luck, after the operation, rest of 3 members broke up and went their seperate ways. By now John had realized that only thing he really is good at is shooting people, so he needed to find a job which would pay well and where you could shoot people and the best option for him was becoming a hitman. During the next years of his life he became a higly skilled professional with license to kill. In the year 2000 he found out that his lifelong friend and brother, James Lory had started to work for Frank Veliano.

John vs James
Now feeling betrayed, John knew he had to do something about this situation, so first thing to do was to talk with Lory. As they talked, James revealed that he was offered 1 million dollars to work for Veliano, John tried explaining James about Frank, but he didn't listen. So now 2 months passed and John found out that Lory is going to be involved in a train robbery in Wyoming. John grabbed his kit and went to stop James once and for all. It turned out into a battle between John and James on top of a train which went with 150 miles per hour. Suddenly, James took a knife, John evaded it, but in the end it hit him and left a scar on his forehead in the left side. After this Lory managed to escape with half of the money from the train, which ended with him proving his loyalty to Veliano and becoming enemies with John.

Starting to hunt Veliano
A year later John started planning out all of Veliano's connections and friends to take down, and then the hunt began. Out of all the people, he couldn't find any information about James Lory and the New York Twin Tower incident slowed progress down even more, by now he was thinking of giving up, until he found a list with all of Veliano's properties and businesses and after a year, James' name appeared in the list as he was now running a business for Veliano. During the next 5 years, John took down 15 of Veliano's men who were high-ranking. After that Frank noticed John and during next 3 years, Veliano repeatedly sent many of his goons after John to kill him, however they all failed. During 2009, John teamed up with one of his friends from the task force Black Foxes to rob a mafia bank owned by Frank Veliano in New York, in order to damage his business, it worked and this was the second time Veliano had to deal with legal troubles since he's been the boss ever since 1984, first time being Chinese Restaurant massacre of 1994. Veliano was very angry, that's why he sent some men to John's step-parents to take care of them. John found out about this and tried telling to James, but Veliano had told James that they died in a car crash accident.

Final years
During the same year, Veliano sent a man to stash Heroin in John's car and later tip him off anonymously which resulted with police finding drugs in John's car and arresting him for the next 15 years, during his time in prison, John was informed that his father, Anthony Heston was alive. Thanks to John's friends from the task force and army, he got out of it after 5 years and continued working on getting close to Veliano, Donald gave him his car which was Aston Martin DB5. For the next 2 years John hunted down couple of Veliano's associates until he got into shootout when he got noticed by one of the goons in a cafe in Brooklyn, after the shootout he had to run away from the area, but he was shot so he was unable to drive so he rushed into the local shop, where he met the 4 pigs who helped him escape and brought him to their house.

He couldn't find any parachutes on plane and the mountain was getting closer, he knew he had to do something in order to survive. All the while pigs saw the plane crash into the mountains and explode. It was believed, that John died in the crash, however they couldn't accept, that's why they starting looking for him all across the east coast for the following year. Pigs couldn't find John, but they found Jason Veliano, the only son of Frank. While most people believe that John died during the plane crash, he survived using a parachute.
