Jason Bourne may not know who he is or what he has done, but viewers can read the Bourne franchise antihero's tragic backstory before a rewatch.
The Jason Bourne movies only reveal Jason Bourne’s origin story in small details throughout the franchise, making this mysterious backstory tough to track down. The Jason Bourne series begins with 2002's The Bourne Identity, wherein Matt Damon plays the amnesiac spy Jason Bourne.
Jason Bourne Was Born As David Webb Jason Bourne was born David Webb in 1971, the son of a CIA analyst named Richard Webb. Richard Webb worked on a project known as Treadstone before his mysterious death. Before his memory loss, Bourne joined the US Special Forces and then the Delta Force. Within the Delta Force, Bourne earned the rank of Captain. After that, he began work at the CIA in January 1997.
Why Jason Bourne Joined Treadstone The CIA staged Richard’s assassination to make it look like terrorists had killed him, thus ironically compelling David to join their program. There, David was trained to become an almost-unstoppable spy and assassin. This is how David Webb became Jason Bourne, with extreme behavior modification techniques remolding the army Captain into a killing machine.
What Happened Before The Bourne Identity After Webb became Bourne, the spy spent a few years working as an assassin for the CIA before his conscience got the better of him. This explains when Jason Bourne learned martial arts, a skill that comes in handy when he survives as a street fighter after the ending of The Bourne Ultimatum. Bourne’s first assassination was the killing of a Russian politician who had intended to uncover a money-laundering plot between the CIA and a Russian oligarch.
