Jimeno was actually born Jimeno Alenzo in a town south of Valencia, Gandia. Jimeno is the son of a minor noble, Franco Alenzo, who is charged with the administration and peace of the town, acting like a mayor. Though Jimeno is also a noble, his family reasonably affluent, he gets no special care as he was trained to fight as a light horsed skirmisher, a Jinete. Stories were abound at home that they could trace their lineage back to 'El Cid', Lord of Valencia and even relatives of many a noble and royal house in Europe, his father and grandfather part of the line of one of his granddaughters. Alas, as one granddaughter married into the royal Spanish family the other married into slightly lesser nobility and further sons and daughters married into lesser houses as well.
Jimeno decided after his training that he would take on the old name of his famed ancestor El Cid; also known as Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. A decision to let the name relive its glory, a chance for Jimeno to break out from the shadows himself and become famous as well as honouring his own house. Therefore Jimeno applied to be stationed along the Spanish-Granadan border to gain fame among the soldiers of the Reconquista instead of serving the guards and keepers of the law around Gandia and Valencia.
His father was taken aback by his son's decision to join the Reconquista forces, but provided him with the equipment he would need and a few last words before he left: "Jimeno, my dear son. You go to a place where many fall unknown and unnoticed, you can win great glory together, but die alone. If this is your wish so be it, but if you ever reconsider know that there is no shame in serving our country in a different way than at the front."
Though he was initially accepted into the army, the recruiting captain recognised the Jimeno's changed name and shook his head to him. "If you want to live up to that name I suggest you'd train up first. We've got another important mission coming up for which we need to find volunteers. Our bishop Alonso Tostado, the bishop of Ávila, is due a visit to the Vatican, I don't know the specifics for this visit, however he needs an escort. You can be part of his retinue and then see where the road takes you."
Jemino took the hint and signed up to be part of Alonso's escort, travelling to Paris.

Jimeno is a young man of 19 years old that dreams of glory. He is not reckless though, if he ever decides to plunge into a battle or a one-on-one fight he will have thought it through and weighed the risks. His training is with buckler and javelin, preferring to stay at a distance at first, then strike with his trident or lance. His attitude is similar, he first once to get to know people before he trusts them or fights together with them, unless necessity calls otherwise.
He is an amiable person to be with, usually a devout catholic, but is not strict in condemning anyone from a different belief as he believes anyone can prove his worth on this earth to God, regardless of their beliefs.
