Jack Klein

Jack Klein is a minor character in Final Fantasy VII Remake: Picturing the Past. He is a pilot employed by Shinra Electric Power Company, and once transported individuals involved in the Special Geological Survey Initiative.
==History==
Jack Klein was involved in the Special Geological Survey Initiative, transporting surveyors around the planet in search of locations with possible high mako yield, based on Aerith Gainsborough's drawings. The work was dangerous, and he rarely saw individuals again.
On one occasion, fifteen years prior to the events of Picturing the Past, Klein was responsible for transporting Glen Reiner, a surveyor, to Cosmo Canyon, one of two drops he had that day, a spot south of Fort Condor being the other. After the Fort Condor drop, Geddie Bach, using Glen's identity, gave Jack a piece of paper with coordinates to Mideel and 10,000 gil to change course. Later, while Jack Klein was performing normal duties flying cargo over the planet, he found Geddie Bach (still using Glen Reiner's identity) in a hospital bed, suffering from heavy mako poisoning, and sold him to Shinra's Research and Development.
Years later, Jack Klein became a heavy alcoholic. He was approached by Lonny, who sought him out after after finding medical records supposedly belonging to Glen Reiner in Mideel that mentioned Jack Klein. Klein recognized Glen Reiner, but not Geddie Bach, and told Lonny the story after being offered liquor.
==Characteristics==
Jack Klein is described as an alcoholic middle-aged man with a puffy face.
