Biography
Jaco Teirimentenpibosshi (Japanese: ジャコ・ティリメンテンピボッシ, Hepburn: Jako Tirimentenpibosshi)
Jaco was sent to Earth by the Galactic King to prevent a Saiyan threat that was detected heading there. Jaco is first seen in his spaceship flying to Earth, when he crashes on the Moon and is hurled towards Earth. He is later seen propelling his boat and carrying him on the dock. He asks Omori who he is, just what he wanted to ask. Omori notes how lucky the former is for having escaped the Monster Shark. Then he asks who Jaco is, and Jaco responds that he is an alien. At first, Omori expresses doubt, and Jaco calls himself a "Galactic Patrolman". Omori offers to fix his damaged spaceship, and when he can't figure out the mechanics of the spaceship, he squeezes Jaco's cheeks to confirm that he is an alien. Jaco reveals that he was on patrol when he got distracted by a video and smashed onto the Moon, and hit Earth. Omori says he would work on the spaceship in the morning, and invites Jaco to his house.
At the house, Jaco calls it "primitive lodging", presumably because at his planet, things are much more advanced. When Omori offers him food, Jaco says that he can only have milk and cheese, as it is the closest to what he eats at his planets. He reveals that the planet has sent probes to Earth, such as robotic flies. He also reveals that he had all the languages of the galaxy inputted in his brain, except he skipped the lesson about fixing the spaceship. Omori inquires whether Jaco's planet has a time machine, and Jaco replies no, saying that it's forbidden by the Galactic laws. Omori and Jaco both go to sleep, except Jaco only needed 30 minutes of it. He then goes for a swim, and then Jaco kills Monster Shark when it attacks Jaco. When Omori wakes up, he's impressed by how Jaco killed the shark, and Jaco reveals that Omori is now in his debt. They begin talking about a popular idol was going to go into space without any training to earn money. Before Omori goes to fix the ship. Jaco asks what the collapsed building to the right was, and Omori reveals his tragic past - it was a research lab until an incident occurred killing many people. Jaco notes that he was lucky they never succeeded, and Omori notes that there are too many bad people on the Earth. When Omori expresses doubt about being able to fix the spaceship, Jaco expresses disappointment in humans. He reveals his true mission - to save humans from a fearsome alien on a projectile coming in three days at 10:00 AM. Omori expresses contempt about humans, Jaco offers to use an Extinction Bomb to wipe out humanity from Earth. Omori instructs Jaco to never use it, and Jaco says that he will observe humans longer, but he may if he's annoyed. Jaco reveals that he once pressed the button on the bomb and killed people, but he got harsh scolding from the seniors.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Jaco Teirimentenpibosshi was a humanoid alien with a mainly light blue head, save for his purple scalp. He has yellow eyes, and his nose and mouth are very human. His entire body is purple as well.
He can also be cowardly, as he attempted to flee when Golden Frieza arrived, despite his duty to protect the Earth, and chose not to arrest Beerus or Whis for manipulating time out of fear (even though he criticized Bulma for bringing this up). He usually reacts this way when faced up against some of the most powerful warriors in the universe.
He disregarded myths, which was shown when he did not believe Bulma when she said her husband was training with Beerus, the God of Destruction. When he saw Beerus personally, he was shocked that he really existed and tried to get a picture but stopped after Bulma stated he might get destroyed. He also chose not to arrest Beerus or Whis for manipulating time out of fear.
Despite Jaco's cowardly nature, Jaco is capable of moments of bravery. As when Piccolo appologizes to him for dragging him into this fight, he says that Moro escaped their custody and since Earth is his sector, he might as well go down with the ship. Even when cornered, despite being terrified and knowing he was no match for Moro, he still chooses to fight and shoot him rather than run away or plead for his life even when he was the last man standing, proving that even with his cowardly nature he is still capable of acting heroic when the time comes down to it.
Powers and abilities
As noted by Omori, Jaco possessed a large amount of strength, as he was able to push a broken spaceship quickly enough to outswim an enormous shark.
During his venture to the planet Jung, Jaco was shown to have the physical strength to hold up three large containers filled with sky gold with just one arm with no effort on his part.
He claimed that all members of the Galactic Patrol were 'super elites' but did state that they would be easily defeated by an adult Saiyan warrior.
