History[]

An orphan turned child soldier from Libya, Jack has been a tormented soul ever since he had lost his parents. Adopted by Solidus Snake as a child soldier fighting in the Libyan Civil War, Jack made his title as 'the Ripper' for killing so many people as Captain of the Army of the Devil. Eventually, he was abandoned by Solidus and got into a relationship with a spy named Rose, whom Jack later married and bore a son named John. The details of Jack's childhood has been nothing but darkness; while his time in the army as a child soldier, he was subjected to watching violent Hollywood movies and eating food laced with gunpowder; one with hallucinogetic properties that made Jack an effective soldier in the field. By the time he reaches his teens, he was old enough to join FOXHOUND, becoming a reliable ally of Solid Snake in his missions to take down as many Patriot plots as possible, even surviving the Big Shell Incident. During the incident, he discovered a mysterious ninja named Gray Fox and defeated Solidus Snake. After the incident, as Rose described, Jack fell into deep trauma; having been roughed up in his drunken stupors and even frightening Rose with his PTSD fits. This prompted Rose to leave him for another man (as a double-sided ploy against the Patriots), and as a result, Jack was captured and augmented into a cyborg ninja by the Patriots themselves, but he remains siding with an aged Solid Snake in MGS4 and defeating Vamp, his nemesis. Jack later accompanied Snake to the very end where he reconciled with Rose. Later on, after the Patriots disbanded and cyberneticized PMCs are in high demand as splinter groups in MGR:R, Jack became a member of Maverick Security Counseling Inc, where he, after struggling with himself for so long, accepts his old self and eventually wins over World Marshall and Desperado Enforcement LLC, but resigns from Maverick in the process, having since then become independent after MGR:R.
