Jack Deth

Jack Deth was a trooper from Angel City. After wiping out the Trancers, the zombified followers of Martin Whistler, Deth was sent back in time to Los Angeles, California, during the December of 1985 to prevent Whistler from killing the ancestors of the High Council of the Western Territories. Deth took over the body of his ancestor Phil Dethton, and with the help of Dethton's fling Leena was able to prevent Whistler from assassinating Hap Ashby and to kill Whistler once and for all. 
Unable to return to the future, Deth settled with Lena, narrowly avoiding assassination by Edlin Shock,until seven years later, when more Trancers revealed themselves. This time, Whistler's unknown brother, who had taken the 20th century guise of GreenWorld founder Dr. E.D. Wardo. 
One year later, with his marriage on the rocks, Deth was kidnapped by Shark, and brought to the future to assign him the task of stopping the proliferation of militarised Trancers brought on by Colonel Daddy Muthuh's Trancer program in 2005. His success in this mission led to him being appointed the Council's Peacekeeping Emissary of Time and Space. 
After several more years of work for the Council, a chance encounter with a Solonoid led to him being stranded on the planet Orpheus, where he had to contend with the villainous Trancer leader Caliban. After braving the Castle of Unrelenting Terror and a final battle with Caliban's forces, Deth at last made it home.
