−	===Early life===
−	Jonah Levin grew up on [[Hesperus II]]. His uncle owned a parts manufacturer that supplied [[Defiance Industries]], and from him Levin learned about business. An interest in 'Mechs also took hold, leading Levin to military school.<ref name=DADossiers30/>
−	Levin joined the Republic Military as a rare MechWarrior officer. He was called into service against the [[House Liao|Liao]] incursion in [[3110]] by the renegade [[Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai]].<ref>''The Scorpion Jar'', p. 135: "Levin remembers his days as commander of the Kyrkbacken Militia"</ref> His militia force was sent deep into Capellan place to world of [[Kurragin]].  There using an old [[Stinger#Variants|STG-5 ''Stinger'']] BattleMech, he led his infantry forces against the rogue Capellan warrior house in what became the [[Battle of Kurragin (3110)|Battle of Kurragin]].

−	In the months prior to July [[3132]], Levin's youngest child, [[Yael Miri Levin]], died two months away from attaining citizenship. Jonah requested two months recusal from duties to finish Yael's service and grant her posthumous citizenship, the first time he had performed that service for a family member.<ref name=DAINNp29/>	+	===In service as Knight & Later Paladin of the Sphere===
		+	Jonah Levin was raised to the rank of Paladin on the 9th of July [[3132]].<ref name="ED:DAp10">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10, "Dark Age Timeline"</ref> As a Republic Paladin, Levin was instrumental in the exposure and downfall of the Black Paladin, [[Daniel Peterson|Ezekiel Crow]]. An agent employed by Levin discovered the fate of Northwind messenger Lt. Owain Jones, and recovered evidence of Crow's betrayal that he had carried to Terra ahead of Countess Tara Campbell and the Steel Wolf invasion. This information led to an attempt on Levin's life, thwarted by his own skills and the timely arrival of his agent. After a short consultation with Countess Campbell and Jacob Bannson, the evidence was released to the general public through [[tri-vid]] news and presented to Exarch Redburn. This precipitated the one-on-one battle between Campbell and Crow in the face of the Steel Wolves invasion.
−	===Paladin of the Sphere===	+	Exarch Redburn later appointed Levin to investigate the death of Paladin Exemplar Victor Steiner-Davion just prior to the election of a new Exarch. Once again, Levin prevailed as his agent discovered the man responsible for Victor's death. Using information gained by dubious interrogation tactics from the contracted "fixer," and with the help of Paladins Heather GioAvanti and Gareth Sinclare Levin then exposed to the entire conclave of Paladins the project Victor had been working on, implicating the Republic Senate in a plot to take control of the Republic government by means of sponsoring young academy graduates into positions as Knights to be elevated.
−	Jonah Levin was raised to the rank of Paladin on 9 July 3132, in a ceremony the Temple of All Paths in Rez, [[Kervil]]. He replaced [[Isabella Druchet]]. The first Jewish Paladin of the Sphere, his ascension ceremony concluded with a Jewish prayer.<ref name=DAINNp29/>
