	Not really. It's more that his predecessors have formed a gestalt entity (and when one of them dies, they join the entity) that exists in a weird kind of in his brain but not situation. They don't really talk to him or anything, and they don't take control of him. It's just that all the magical power they have can be used by Jason to do stuff. He doesn't have their memories, just access to their magic.

	~~The thing is~~, ~~most of~~ the ~~time, you make~~ a ~~binding deal with an entity then it basically says "you can now cast spells~~ but ~~you have to pay attention to me as well~~.~~" You can cast the spell whenever but at times the being will appear~~ to ~~you and say "do some stuff~~, ~~bitch,"~~ and ~~you~~ have to do it. ~~The way Jason works is "you can cast our spells and you are sworn to fulfill your duty but we won~~'t ~~tell you what~~ to ~~do." So he has more freedom in that regard. Plus he already know some minor spells~~.		Not really.
