Biography
Jack (Japanese: ジャック, Hepburn: Jakku) was a male human born on a rainy day in Liberia in the modern area where he grew up in the chaos of the First Liberian Civil War. During this time, he encountered a man named Solidus Snake who adopted he boy and named him after his godfather after he killed his former parents. In the time afterwards, he was raised as a child soldier and fought in the country's civil war in 1989 where he along with the other children were shown Hollywood action films on a daily basis as part of 'image training' with their food being mixed with gunpowder as well as touluene to make them more controllable.
Under Solidus, Jack became a killing machine, known alternately as the White Devil and Jack the Ripper due to his incredibly high kill rate compared to other boys his age, as well as a reference to his being one of the few Caucasians born in Liberia. Armed with a gun at the age of six, he would later remember it as an AK rifle, as well as a knife, he proved to be a superior soldier, rising to become captain of the Small Boy Unit at ten. His skills with a bladed weapon, as well as his cruelty in dispatching enemies with them, was another reason for his Ripper nickname. After the war ended, Solidus had Jack placed in a relief center.
Eventually, without Solidus' knowledge, he was later removed by a non-governmental organization and taken to the United States. Jack and other surviving members of the Small Boy Unit then underwent extensive amounts of counseling before becoming at least outwardly stable. There, Jack came into the hands of the Patriots, who implanted his cerebral cortex with a high concentration of nanomachines, in order to have him function as a back-up system for an optic-neuro AI. The Patriots chose him out of the other child soldiers in his unit because unlike the others, who would live up to their pasts and pay dearly for it, Jack did not accept his past and hated it. The same nanomachines were also capable of memory manipulation by connecting or stimulating synapses, primarily nerve sections in the dormant part of the brain. In addition, Jack was not listed under any of the United States databases.
Jack would grow up to suppress the memories about his terrible childhood, burying the memories of his bloody past, though he still suffered from nightmares of his past nearly every night. Now living a life in the United States, Jack joined the military where his admirable skills were at first recognized by the U.S. Army's Task Force XXI. From there he participated in over three hundred VR simulations, including re-creations of the Shadow Moses Incident and the Tanker Incident.
