Biography
Jack was a female human born on 2161 in the Milky Way Galaxy where by 2165 she was abducted from the colony on Eden Prime by Cerberus operatives. Her abduction was due to her newly discovered Biotic potential due to accidental exposure to element zero in the womb. The abduction was then covered up where her mother was told that her daughter had died due to complications of element zero exposure. She was then taken to Pragia's Teltin facility where she became the prime subject in Cerberus's experiments whose goal was enhancing the biotic potential in humans regardless of cost.
After defeating the Collectors, she was approached by the Systems Alliance and was offered a teaching position at the Jon Grissom Academy's Ascension Project to train biotic students. She accepted, though she was forced to tone down her behavior and profanity, and officially joined the staff under the alias "Jacqueline Nought". She is present during the Cerberus attack on the station, defending her students from being captured. With Shepard's help, she, Kahlee Sanders, and the students managed to escape. Shepard can then decide to have the students support the Alliance's 103rd Marine Division, or send the students to war as an artillery unit. Regardless of the player's choice, Jack herself also assists in the war effort.
Overview
Personality and attributes
As a test subject, she came to be referred to as Subject Zero. At Grissom Academy, she took on an alias where she went by the name of Jacqueline Nought.
She tells Shepard of a man that she once loved in the past who died, leaving her with a sort of "survivors guilt". Shepard tells Jack that he will not give up on her, something that initially confuses her but she warms up to. En route to the final mission, she comes to Shepard in his cabin, tells him she has been thinking a lot about him, and that he's right and she needs someone. Jack gives in, and shows a very vulnerable and emotional side. Tears roll down her face as a tender scene ensues, culminating with her smiling peacefully while they lie together on his bed, and she finally achieves true happiness.
