Jack Maxi Benedict

"How does fire rise! How does the fire spread and quickly rebuilds itself, nearly impossible to kill! That's what I'm trying to do, something to keep the fire alive forever. Something to bring it back."
- Jack telling Nicholas about his goalsJack Maxi Benedict, Lab Rat, or simply Jack is a young 16 year old German-British boy born to a large family of technicians and engineers. Although affected by pyromania and Dissociative Personality Disorder he can definitely be a decent threat if underestimated. He needs to rely on his machines to fight though. 
=Early Life (0-7)=
Jack was born to a family full of riches and engineering. Jack learned from the best engineers in the world to him, the Maxi family had a long history with engineering and especially pyrotechnics. Jack, being the new member to the family, was taught everything on manufacturing weapons and other such things. Jack with his sister, Elizabeth, made a good team and soon helped their parents in their business selling pyrotechnics and other machinery. Their parents had bad ties to other organizations, with this these bad organizations found the Maxis but before their parents died the siblings managed to escape through a ship heading towards the United States. 
=Year 8-14=
The ship crash lands into the Eastern shore of the US. The siblings manage to survive helping a couple people but remaining solitary not accepting help from others minus if it is for buying food or selling. Elizabeth does most of the heavy lifting in this period. Soon enough- they get a better job working on a ship similar to the one that brought them to the US, they both agree on doing it and sooner or later they made it work. The contractors say that both of the siblings can stay in the ship for a while for their troubles, they were going to travel through the Americas. For a couple years it was all fine and well, the siblings worked on the ship as engineers until Jack's 14th birthday. On the strike of this day, the shipment got attacked by the same group that had killed the parents, in the mess they finally found the siblings together and shot Elizabeth dead. Jack managed to blow up the ship in time to escape, meanwhile the ship sank, a traumatized Jack began exploring the wreckage managing to find Elizabeth's body in the rubble, even if burnt and shot. Jack puts on his sister's tattered blue scarf for warmth. 
=Years 14-16=
Jack, still traumatized, stood still, holding onto the past, his mind began to wander further into madness as the longing for company began to increase. Food becoming scarce now, never truly knowing how to hunt, he began following the river on a hand-made carriage to carry Elizabeth. In this 'mania' Jack thought on ways, ways to bring back. Ways to put coal into the fire, soon he came upon a small community willing to help Jack. Jack accepted the help seeing an opportunity to abuse this. He saved this small community from the share of ash they would gain in this future. Used their bodies to fuel the fire. But too small the flame was. So, there was need for more fuel. 
A year passed, many things happened. Arrests, arsons, murders, savings. Jack found a group named The 7 Insane, a group focused on many things over the past years and Jack very quickly became head engineer of it, in a couple months he had made many advancements to the 7. Jack, now with many materials got much funding from the 7 in this project to bring back the fire. With some time, or a year a long year of barely sleeping, Jack managed to make a mech, this big machine was nicknamed "Tink" by The 7 and Jack himself. Jack had become a valuable asset to The 7 even with his strange morals and acts. While in the 7, he was nicknamed "The Devil of Hephaestus" from his ingenuity with mechanics and his evil nature.
