His mother was Admiral Mary Mason, Jack, and Tyler moved to Starbase 39-Sierra along the Romulan Neutral Zone during peace time with the Romulan Star Empire while Mary was stationed on the Klingon outpost Narendra III. While on a mission to keep the treaty enforced, the outpost suddenly came under attack by four Romulan warbirds, while on the outpost, his mother was wounded during a Romulan attack that it was severe but the starbase and the personal survived the assault.

​Starfleet Academy
As a cadet, Mason, along with first-year cadet John Mayhill, was on a tour of the Cochrane Research Facility on Sirius IV when the reactor exploded. Twenty people, including Mayhill, were trapped in the radioactive core, and Reed watched them die of radiation poisoning from the shielded observation room. Even years afterwards, Mason would occasionally have nightmares about that day.

Mason started his career as an ensign at Starfleet Security, where he met Captain Matthew Harris. Harris was the liaison officer to Starfleet Intelligence and sent Mason on several covert operations on behalf of both divisions. At first, he found this sort of life exiting, eventually he realized that some of the missions Harris sent him on weren't authorized by Starfleet. When Harris came under scrutiny by his superiors he left Starfleet, leaving Reed with the impression that their affiliation is over.
