Ethan Gabriel Thomas Pitts is a young man currently based in Provo, Utah, where he is attending Brigham Young University (BYU).

Given that he is attending BYU, it is safe to assume that Ethan is a Mormon, or a adherent to the Christian denomination known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). He was born into the Church, with his father's line a mix of recent Italian converts and early English adopters of the faith, and his mother's line a mix of Norwegians and Welch ancestors who converted early on. As is customary in the LDS faith, Ethan served as a full-time volunteer missionary, assigned to the Korea Daejeon Mission. He continues to learn more about his own faith, as well as exploring the doctrines of other faiths, most specifically Islam.

At BYU, Ethan focuses on Middle East Studies/Arabic (MESA) and takes advantage of the university's unique LDS doctrinal classes. Studying other languages, specifically Arabic (Levantine dialect), Korean, and Swedish, is a major interest of Ethan's. As part of the MESA program, Ethan will travel to 'Amman, Jordan, and Jerusalem in order to boost Arabic experience and cultural connections. Following graduation, Ethan will move to Georgetown University, where he will focus on a master's degree in Security Studies. Serving in the United States government in some capacity is the ultimate goal.
