Kurtis Jackson Guile

== Early Life ==
Kurtis Jackson Guile was born to military parents and moved around a lot as a child. He lived in all 50 states and 8 different countries from the time he was born till he was about 17. When he was 18, he entered the military and by 19 Kurtis married his girlfriend Kerry Edwards. At the age of 21, Kurtis was assigned to section 20 in MI6. Section 20 was a joint covert military unit comprised of both American military and British Military soldiers. The head of section 20 was a woman named Colonel Eleanor Grant, while the leader of the field unit was a man named John Porter.
== Project Dawn-23 ==
2 years later, John Porter is kidnapped by Pakistani terrorist Latif, who is masterminding "Project Dawn". As Porter is one of only two westerners who can identify Latif, Section 20 head Colonel Eleanor Grant appoints Sergeant Kurtis Guile to find the other; dishonorably discharged Delta Force operative Charlie Nash, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. When Nash is brought to MI6, Section 20 witnesses Porter's live execution. As the team mourns their loss, Nash realizes that Porter used code in the execution video, directing the team to a hotel in New Delhi, India. Nash and Guile's arrival is soon followed by a gang of terrorists, who hold everybody hostage and demand that someone named Mahmood reveals himself. Guile and two of the hostages escape and meet with Nash; however, they find themselves surrounded when one of the hostages turns out to be the terrorist leader. Nash and Guile evade the terrorists and find Mahmood, who turns out to be a woman, Iman Zubedah. Zubedah reveals she knows the location of hidden weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that were to be planted in Iraq to vindicate the war. After Nash is recaptured and taken to the lobby with the other hostages, Zubedah is escorted out by the terrorist leader, assumed to be Latif (Nash earlier admits that he never actually saw him). Guile rescues Zubedah and kills the leader. When the Indian military storm the hotel, Nash fails to stop the terrorists from dropping a bomb, but Guile arrives in time to catch it. Zubedah is later brought to Pakistani intelligence officer Jamal Ashkani, who is revealed to be Latif; Zubedah is later found dead. After Nash is assigned to Section 20, he reveals to Guile that Porter's code was directed at Nash; Porter no longer trusted Section 20, believing it is embroiled in a conspiracy involving Latif, the WMDs, his capture, and Nash's dishonorable discharge. Nash and Stonebdrige decide to investigate the possible corruption. Section 20 set up base in Cape Town, South Africa to track former Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) terrorist Daniel Connelly, who is believed to be associated with Latif. Connelly and his gang rob an armored truck, and clone a hard drive belonging to Kenneth Bratton's weapons company ATAT, which contains information on chemical weapons. Porter previously rescued Bratton from Iraq. Connelly also has Bratton's family watched in order to get him to cooperate. The gang hires Buckley, an American hacker, to break into the hard drive. However, as Nash and Guile chase him, Guile is forced to kill him, forcing Nash to pose as Buckley and lead Section 20 to Connelly. When Nash meets the gang however, they capture him and send him to a farm where they strap a bomb to him. Guile soon arrives at the farm, but as he is about to move in, the bomb detonates. It is revealed that Nash is alive; Connelly directed the bomb away from his body as a test to see if he would call for help. When he passes by not doing so, Nash is told he is to override the security system of Bratton's secure facility, with the help of the hard drive and Major Oliver Sinclair. Bratton calls Captain Kate Marshall for help in his family's protection. Kate learns that ATAT was under pressure to plant VX nerve gas in Iraq. During the meeting, the two are kidnapped by Connolly's men. Guile tracks her to the facility Nash was sent to hack into. Connelly gains access to a package of VX before killing Bratton. Though Nash and Guile capture Connelly and confiscate the VX, they find Kate rigged with a bomb. Connelly promises to disarm it if they let him go, however he goes back on the deal and escapes, while Kate dies in the ensuing explosion. Grant later follows Connelly to Mozambique to execute him. Section 20 capture Gerald Crawford, a former Royal Marine-turned-arms dealer with ties to Latif, before making a sale. However, Crawford reveals the weapons were supposed to be an exchange for his daughter, Doctor Clare Somersby, who was kidnapped by the Janjaweed (a tribe of armed rebels) from an aid hospital in Darfur, Sudan. Section 20 agrees to rescue her, so long Crawford provides information on Latif's whereabouts. When he and the team arrive in Khartoum, Nash learns from Maggie, a journalist he once slept with, that Crawford has accomplices who are following the exchange and will kill anybody in their way. During the exchange, they and Section 20 kill the Janjaweed members, but chieftain Tahir escapes with Clare again. Nash is shot in the spleen by Crawford's men before they too are killed. As Maggie and Sinclair take Nash to a hospital, Crawford, Guile and Jacoub, Maggie's driver whose family was a casualty of the Janjaweed, decide to follow Clare. Nash and Sinclair are arrested at the hospital, though Grant later secures their release when the politician behind the arrest is loyal to Tahir. Meanwhile, Guile is in "self-destruct mode" after Kate's death, and Crawford attempts to get him to focus. He also reveals that there is a British spy working for Latif, but would not divulge the name until Clare is safe. They soon find the Janjaweed camp; a local woman kills herself with a grenade to stop the Janjaweeds from raping her, allowing a distraction for Guile to rescue Clare. However, they still have to drive back to Khartoum with the Janjaweed hot on their trial. Crawford is later shot by government forces. While they attempt to save him, their vehicle breaks down, and they are forced to fight Tahir's men. All the Janjaweed, and Tahir, are killed by the time Grant arrives, but Crawford dies from his injuries, but not before telling Clare the spy's name. Grant has a female officer and psychologist, Marianna, seduce Nash in an effort to learn more about him. Meanwhile, a minibus in Kosovo with five European Union officials is hijacked by Albanian terrorist and drug, human and organ trafficker Hassani. He demands the release of his cousin, Rana, from Vienna, Austria. Grant controversially allows it, because one of the hostages is MI6 agent John Allen, Latif's spy. During the exchange however, an unknown gunman kills Rana, forcing Nash and Guile to rescue the hostages. Furthermore the rescue helicopter at the pickup point fails to arrive, forcing the group to find another location. When their truck runs out of petrol, Nash and Guile attempt to steal another from Hassani's fortified heroin factory. A United States Army patrol later arrives to pick them up, however it is revealed the soldiers are loyal to Hassani; Nash, Guile and the hostages are taken to his stronghold. Nash and Guile learn that Allen is actually a double agent working to keep track on Latif's plans. Later, the hostages are taken in two separate transports, where the males are taken for organ harvesting, and the females for sex slavery. However, Nash finds that one of the American soldiers secretly gave him a gun to organize an escape. Following the escape, they search for the camp holding the female hostages. On the way they encounter Hassani's men; Guile stays behind to fight them off while the rest journey on to the other camp, however one of the hostages dies while running through a mine field. Meanwhile Hassani meets with Latif and Allen at the camp; Latif then has Allen and Hassani killed after they hand over intelligence on a weapons bunker in Chechnya. After Nash liberates the camp and rescues a captured Guile, the hostages are taken to safety. Guile learns that his wife Kerry is pregnant, and she is forcing him to choose between her and his job. In the meantime, Section 20 find that eight people entered a weapons bunker in Chechnya, but none have since left. Nash and Guile are sent there with the hope of capturing Latif. However, they find no one inside because there is an exit tunnel. Following orders to retrieve all computers, the Georgian Commandos set off a booby-trap, trapping Nash and Guile in the tunnel. They journey through the tunnel system and find labs where Latif's scientists were working on VX delivery systems. They follow Latif's men to a nearby town, only to find themselves ambushed and forced to retreat. They do, however, believe that Latif intends to detonate containers of VX against civilian targets. Nash learns that Grant used Marianna to profile him. Section 20 then learns that Latif intends to attack a World Summit in Budapest, Hungary, and sets up base there. They follow a suspicious van to a warehouse; Nash and Guile go there, and capture Latif. As Grant interrogates Latif, Section 20 spots two known terrorists arriving in Budapest. Nash and Guile catch the first, who detonates the VX container placed inside his body in a tram; Nash and Guile evacuate the area. On their return, Latif has sent a strike team to the Section base, and they ambush it; Latif escapes and captures Grant, along with Akmal Ramiz, a Pakistani presidential candidate from the summit. Guile is assigned to identify the second suicide bomber in a protest crowd, while Nash follows Grant's GPS. Latif forces Grant or Ramiz to confess to "Operation Trojan Horse", which dealt with planting VX in Iraq, setting up Porter and framing Nash that lead to his dishonourable discharge. Guile stops the second bomber, but Latif remotely activates the canister; Guile is able to remove and disarm it. Meanwhile, Latif kills Ramiz after Grant wishes to confess. He later realises that Nash is nearby and takes Grant hostage. However Grant, no longer wishing to live with her guilt, forces Latif to shoot the VX canister she has in her possession, killing them both. Nash, now knowing he could clear his name, decides to burn the file instead, believing Grant did give him a second chance. Guile decides to leave Section 20. At the age of 23, Kurtis was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for what he and his best friend and partner Nash went through in stopping Latif.
== Vengeance-24 ==
Diplomat Patrick Burton, junior attaché Rachel McMillan and Libyan civil servant Keemal are kidnapped by Somali warlord Huseyin Waabri. As Charlie Nash is sent to rescue them, Keemal is revealed to be in possession of four nuclear triggers, and bargains them for his freedom. However, during the trade mercenaries Karl Matlock and Jessica Kohl assassinate Keemal, compromising Nash's position, leading to his capture. Meanwhile, Sergeant Kurtis Guile adapts to his new career training recruits, while his wife Kerry has to deal with a miscarriage. During a live-ammunition training exercise, Guile is forced to kill Jake Hanson, who has posttraumatic stress from his tours in Afghanistan, when he breaks down and attempts to kill the other recruits. After learning of Nash's capture, Guile and Sergeant Julia Richmond volunteer to rescue him. The operation is initially successful; however they are surprised to learn that McMillan has military training. "McMillan", real name Rachel Dalton, is revealed to be a military intelligence operative assigned to intercept the nuclear triggers. Knowing of the escape, Waabri places a bounty on their heads. He also meets with Matlock who offers to buy the triggers. The escapees confiscate the triggers, but unknown to them they have been swapped by Waabri's girlfriend (who is murdered after handing them over to Waabri's contact). Furthermore their inbound rescue helicopter is forced to turn back after taking heavy ground fire. They are surrounded by Waabri's militia when they are "rescued" by Matlock's helicopter. Nash trades the triggers for Waabri, however Matlock discovers the fake triggers and kills Waabri. The group is ambushed by the militia again, until they are rescued by an African army unit. However in the process Burton dies. It is revealed Matlock is taking orders from billionaire Conrad Knox in Cape Town, South Africa. Back in the US, Dalton is promoted to lead Section 20. Craig Hanson, Jake's brother and Guile's friend, now a mercenary, avenges his brother's death by murdering Kerry. Guile is reassigned to Section 20, though he desires to kill Hanson. Section 20 meanwhile; learn that the triggers are in Niger, in the hands of Othmani. Their first lead to a compound is sidetracked by a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) air strike. Nash is briefly taken by the CIA, and gets reacquainted with Christy Bryant, who has a history with him. Section 20 follows Othmani to a hotel in Niamey. He evades them, but is soon tracked again to the Algerian border where he is captured by Tuareg warriors. The leader Markunda plans to auction Othmani between the British and El Soldat, Othmani's brother who plans to buy the triggers. However, El Soldat's men attempt to take Othmani by force, but are stopped by Nash and Guile. They believe the triggers are on a bus, but as they intercept it, El Soldat's men arrive, forcing Nash and Guile to abandon the search and escape. Nash, Guile, Markunda and Othmani are holed up in a farmhouse in the Algerian Hoggar Mountains. As the local farmer patches up Othmani, El Soldat's men arrive and destroy their transport. After Nash and Guile defeat the first wave of attackers, they wait until nightfall to escape. However they are prevented from doing so by Matlock and Kohl. Meanwhile, Major Oliver Sinclair learns that Dalton had a sexual relationship with Othmani while working in intelligence. After meeting Bryant, Dalton learns that El Soldat plans to betray Othmani after gaining his hands on the triggers. After talking with Othmani, he reveals that he had the triggers with him the entire time. A second wave of El Soldat's men attacks the house. Othmani, realising that Dalton told the truth about his brother, blows himself and his brother up. However, Matlock and Kohl confiscate the triggers. Hanson arrives in Cape Town to work for Knox. Section 20 return to Cape Town to recover former nuclear weapons scientist Peter Evans after his daughter and grandson are kidnapped. Evans and the team narrowly escape the airport by Matlock and the Mossad. Dalton learns that Evans worked with the Israelis, and Matlock wants him to build weapons from the nuclear triggers. The Section are later made aware that Knox is masterminding the operation, after discovering that a gun from one of Matlock's men matches one from Rwanda, supposedly decommissioned by Knox's humanitarian foundation, as well as finding photographs of him and Evans' partner John Devers, who was assassinated by the Mossad. After failing to rescue the hostages in Cape Town Stadium; Nash and Guile return to Evans, where a Mossad team ambush their safe house. Nash realizes that the lead female agent Rebecca Levi placed a tracking device on him when they had sex. He splits off from Guile and Evans. However, Guile splits off when he spots Hanson and fires at him, allowing Matlock to capture Evans. Hanson escapes Guile's clutches. Rebecca turns down Nash's offer to join forces and rescue Evans and his family. Evans meanwhile, is taken to Knox to rig the triggers into four nuclear bombs, with the intent on liberating Africa, "to a point where its voice is not just heard but listened to." Guile meets with Ava, Knox's daughter, as a shipment of weapons from Sierra Leone is rerouted to the docks instead of Knox's decommission facilities, to convince her of her father's corrupt dealings. Section 20 report the shipment to the local police, however when the police raid, Nash is arrested before he can shoot Hanson. Realizing that Guile is telling the truth, Ava tells him about one of Knox's facilities. Section 20 raids the facility, and although the hostages are rescued, the mercenaries escape with the nuclear weapons. As the hostages are taken to safety, Rebecca assassinates Evans. To prevent deportation from South Africa by corrupt official Joseph Dreyer, who is in league with Knox, Dalton decides that Section 20 should go dark in order to catch him. Matlock's team performs a prison break of political prisoner and friend of Knox, Walter Lutulu in Zimbabwe. Section 20 follow Lutulu's activist daughter Lilian, who is also being followed by local intelligence officers. Kohl takes Lilian and sends her to her father. Lutulu discovers that Knox has nuclear weapons, and is angered. Dreyer learns of Section 20's activities and has the team arrested, save for Nash and Guile who are out, by Knox's mercenaries, and sent to an abandoned prison, where Sinclair is executed. Dalton breaks her team mates free and attempts an escape, later aided by Nash and Guile. Richmond kills Dreyer. Bryant is seen meeting with Knox. Later Lutulu headlines a public speech, where an assassination attempt is made on him. As Nash helps in sending him to a hospital, Guile catches the shooter, and they hide from an angry mob in an empty precinct. As an angry mob gathers outside the precinct, Guile comes across the lone police officer there. When reinforcements arrive, Guile realizes that it is Kohl and a partner in disguise. Guile kills them, but in retaliation, Matlock attacks the precinct, kills the shooter and captures Guile. Meanwhile at a hospital, two doctors are revealed to be assassins and finish off Lutulu. After Nash and Lilian escape Hanson's team, Matlock calls Nash for a trade; Guile for Lilian. Realizing that Knox is involved with her father's death, she agrees to it. At Knox's camp, she reads her father's journal that mentions Knox has nuclear weapons. She secretly meets with Nash to reveal Knox's location. As they assault the camp, Lilian shafts Knox in the press. Knox escapes, however Nash and Guile intercept one of the nuclear weapons. Knox hires corrupt lawyer Christian Lucas to help sell one of the remaining weapons to a Nigerian militia. Section 20 tracks the weapon outside Johannesburg. However as Nash and Guile chase the truck, the driver is fired upon by local police; the crash results in the truck's explosion, causing radiation to leak. Guile realizes that his desire for revenge is distracting him. As a result of the leak, Section 20 is now assisted by South African authorities. Bryant also offers assistance, but Dalton turns her down, and Nash warns her she is not to be trusted. Nash and Guile find a link between Knox and Lucas. After saving him from gangsters, they plant a tracker on Lucas for his next meeting with Knox. However, it becomes apparent that Bryant told Knox about Lucas. Guile gives chase to a fleeing Hanson as Nash follows Bryant. Guile corners Hanson, but he is forced to stand down after they are surrounded by police officers, and Hanson is arrested instead. Knox kills Lucas. Nash confronts Bryant in her safe house, where she reveals that she has her own plan to stop Knox, after which she believes that the CIA, who disavowed her, will reinstate her. She promises to reveal the location of the meeting place between Knox and the Nigerians. When Nash returns to Section 20, he reveals that she was his handler when he worked several contract killings until he killed a target's child. Bryant reveals the meeting place, but during the raid Knox, Matlock and the Nigerian leader escapes. Section 20 realizes that Knox intends to detonate the remaining bombs under his father's old bank. In the meantime Hanson escapes police custody and kills Matlock when he is no longer committed to the mission. Dalton spots Knox, who reveals he is holding a dead man's trigger. Nash and Guile find the two bombs, and are instructed to defuse them at the same time. However, they are held up by the Nigerians and Hanson respectively. Nash dispatches the Nigerians, and Guile kills Hanson. They then both manage to defuse the bombs just before Knox could detonate them. Knox shoots Dalton before killing himself for his failure. Dalton survives, and four days later, makes a deal with Whitehall to continue Section 20's operation.
== Shadow Warfare-25 ==
In Lebanon, Section 20 operative Liam Baxter is compromised and executed. Rachel Dalton investigates who sold out Baxter, leading her to a thought-to-be-dead MI6 agent, Sebastian Grey. Charlie Nash and Kurtis Guile are recalled from holiday to find Baxter's executioner, Leo Kamali, a member of a terrorist organisation led by al-Zuhari, in the jungles of Colombia. The two team up with an American Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) team, led by Kim Martinez. Kamali is being sheltered by cartel leader Miguel Gomez, in his compound. Nash spots Mossad agent Rebecca Levi, posing as Kamali's girlfriend. After capturing Kamali the team kills Viktor Ulyanov, a representative of the Russian mafia, during the escape. They return to their rendezvous to find Martinez's team dead, and are soon ambushed by Gomez's men. Guile manages to hijack an armed riverboat as a getaway vehicle. Though they manage to evade their pursuers, Gomez fires a rocket-propelled grenade at the team from higher ground, destroying the boat. The team survive the blast, but Kamali escapes. Rebecca leads the team to a Stock Exchange in Bogota, where Kamali has a safe deposit box, to find him. They break in using the exchange's president, also Gomez's brother. After taking the contents of the box, the team contend with local authorities and Gomez's men, resulting in Rebecca's death by Gomez. After Martinez and Julia Richmond locate Kamali's safehouse from the contents, Nash and Guile apprehends Kamali, who claims to be a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative under deep cover to infiltrate al-Zuhari. Nash and Guile are captured and tortured by Gomez after Section 20 learn the CIA did not employ Kamali. Kamaali however, rescues the two, and Nash kills Gomez. In Beirut, Dalton finds and questions Grey, who reveales the name James Leatherby before he is killed by a gunman of al-Zuhari. Dalton is then rescued by Colonel Philip Locke, an SAS legend who is overseeing Section 20. They both later arrive in Colombia and learn from a CIA agent that Kamali is in fact a deniable operative, although Section 20 manages to convince him to work with them or be arrested for Baxter's murder. In Beirut, Kamali meets Amir, a courier. Amir realises he is being followed by Nash and Guile. Amir's men attack, but Amir is mortally wounded. Nash and Guile blackmail him into revealing that Leatherby is bringing al-Zuhari from Syria. In Moscow, Arkady Ulyanov, Viktor's father, learns of the identities of his son's killers and sends a woman to Beirut to seduce Nash. Kamali meets and pays Leatherby in a casino, but fails to get the location of al-Zuhari's arrival. Section 20 then kidnap Leatherby's boyfriend, who reveals the time and location to an airfield. Guile is unknowingly contaminated while ambushing the landing party. Instead of al-Zuhari, they find a woman named Sophia Abboud, the daughter of a former Syrian minister of finance. Locke arrives to suspend Dalton following her increasingly erratic behavior, and abuse of morphine, effectively taking over Section 20. Dalton decides to kidnap Sophia, believing she knows something about al-Zuhari. Leatherby kidnaps Kamali's daughter Ester. Section 20 works to rescue her as Locke instructs Kamali to find Dalton, who is interrogating Sophia. Section 20 find Leatherby's compound and rescue Ester, but are later ambushed and cornered by Leatherby's Hezbollah allies. They capture Leatherby's boyfriend in exchange for safe passage. Leatherby complies, but after realising what he has done, shoots his boyfriend and then gets shot and killed by Guile. Dalton meanwhile, learns that Sophia is al-Zuhari's wife. Kamali arrives, posing as a friend of al-Zuhari, and allows her to escape. He and Dalton tail her to an address, but instead of finding al-Zuhari, they find a woman Locke later recognizes as Mairead McKenna of the Real Irish Republican Army, who kills Dalton and Sophia and recovers a memory card hidden in Sophia's watch. A Russian mafia hitman arrives in Beirut to follow Nash and Guile, the latter of which is experiencing periods of impaired vision. Section 20 tracks McKenna to Budapest, Hungary. They capture and interrogate Sean O'Riordan, an old IRA arms dealer, who reveals the time and location of a secret weapons trade. After he dies in a car accident, Section 20 obtains a flash drive containing a video message from al-Zuhari, which was to be released publicly after a future terrorist attack. McKenna meanwhile, seduces and murders an employee of the British Embassy to obtain access to the building. Nash, Guile and Martinez ambush the weapons trade at a train yard, and McKenna is captured. However, Guile fails to stop the IRA from escaping with the weapons when his impaired vision affects his combat abilities, prompting him to see a doctor. Before McKenna can reveal anything from the interrogation, the embassy is under pressure from the Irish government to extradite her to the UK. However, at the airport the team is ambushed by IRA soldiers, resulting in McKenna's escape, and Locke's capture. To find Locke, Nash and Guile intimidate Mousawi, al-Zuhari's Hungarian contact. Mousawi reveals Locke is in an abandoned factory used by the IRA and al-Zuhari's men, before they are attacked by the Russian mafia hitman. After killing him, Section 20 successfully rescue Locke, who surmises that McKenna intends to attack a NATO hub. Three of McKenna's vans surround the British Embassy. Although Nash takes out one of the vans, the other two fire mortars at the embassy. In the chaos, an IRA team led by McKenna dress as medics break into the building with the stolen access to clone sensitive NATO information from the secret basement area. Though they succeed in passing the hard drive, Locke captures McKenna for information on the identity of the IRA operative who killed his son twenty years before. Instead, McKenna attempts to shoot Locke, but is killed by Kamali. Later, Richmond manages to track the hard drive to Russia. The NATO harddrive is located in Black Bear Prison outside Moscow, owned by Ulyanov. Section 20 further discover that Ulyanov, who is allied with al-Zuhari, is using Swedish hacker Erik Andersson, a prisoner, to decrypt the harddrive. To recover it, Nash and Guile get themselves arrested as cocaine dealers and are sent to the prison, where they learn that Andersson is working under duress; his friends are being held hostage. Kurtis learns that he is infected with a neurotoxin, and has as long as two days to live unless he is injected with an antitoxin. Martinez and Richmond locate and rescue the hostages, but not before Andersson finishes the decryption. Kamali believes that al-Zuhari wants him dead after his car explodes. To rescue Andersson, Nash and Guile start a prison riot, as Federal Security Service (FSB) Major Nina Pirogova arrives at the prison, apparently to collect Ulyanov's bounty on them, but it is revealed she is working with Locke to break them out. Andersson is being transferred; Guile tries to rescue him, but he too is being taken away in the same van, while Nash and Pirogova are captured by prison guards. Nash and Pirogova break out while they are being transported to Ulyanov, and are saved from their pursuers by Martinez and Richmond. Meanwhile, Andersson and Guile are taken to a secret biochemical facility in Drezna where scientists are testing prisoners with weaponised smallpox, which al-Zuhari wants to obtain. Guile is deemed useless by the head doctor, Takenaka, due to his condition. He manages to kill his captors however, and learns from Andersson, who is infected with the smallpox, that he tagged all of NATO's cleanskins. After Guile calls Section 20, they and Spetsnaz covertly surround the facility as Kamali arrives using his terrorist cover. After Ulyanov arrives, Section 20 and Stetsnaz raid the facility, where Nash gives Guile the antitoxin. Ulyanov manages to escape with Kamali, whose cover is blown, and a sample of the smallpox. Later, the members of Section 20 watch a video recording of al-Zuhari's men executing Kamali. Realizing Al-Zuhari will go after Kamali's family too, Nash and Guile go to pick up his daughter, Esther. They arrive at the same time as Qassem, Al-Zuhari's main enforcer. After a firefight at an amusement park, Nash, Guile and Esther leave. Meanwhile, a doctor from Drezna is interrogated by Locke, and reveals that the biochemical operation was funded by Maroun Saleh, a wealthy Arabic businessman. Section 20 track attack Saleh's compound by night; they fail to capture him or any other hostage alive, but manage to take a flash drive containing Intel on some of the clear skins. One of these skins is a Czech diplomat travelling to Berlin to attend a NATO meeting. Section 20 intercept him on the train and eventually stop him, even though he manages to release the virus in one of the cabs. Afterwards, Nash and Guile find that the safehouse where Esther was kept was compromised, and the pair is taken hostage by Al-Zuhari's men led by Kamali, who is in fact alive. Following their capture, Kamali reveals to Nash and Guile that he was in fact responsible for the entire plot and plans to release the virus as revenge for the killing of his wife. Nash and Guile quickly realize that although Kamali is planning to execute them he is unwilling to do it in front of his daughter. They are able to use this as a distraction and escape just before Kamali begins the final phase of his plan; an attack on the NATO base that Section 20 has been operating from. Nash and Guile return to the base and thwart the attack, but not before several soldiers (including Martinez) are infected. Kamali is again presumed killed, but escapes with his daughter. However they are quickly betrayed and captured by Ulyanov. Following the attack Ulyanov approaches Locke and offers a trade, Kamali in exchange for Nash and Guile. They both agree to hand themselves over, knowing that it is the final hope for any of those infected by the virus. The trade goes wrong and Kamali is fatally shot. Before he dies, he reveals to his daughter that she has the cure in a necklace that he gave her. Section 20 rushes the cure back to the base, where they are able to save all the infected soldiers, but not those infected on the train. 
=== Legacy ===
Section 20 are called into Bangkok to rescue Chloe Foster, the kidnapped daughter of British Ambassador and longtime friend of Colonel Philip Locke, Robin Foster. The team found the compound where she was being held, but during the raid the kidnappers escape with Chloe. After identifying the lead kidnapper as expatriate gangster Ray McQueen, Sergeants Kurtis Guile, Charlie Nash and Julia Richmond plant a tracker on him in his favorite nightclub. McQueen soon realizes he is being tailed and tries to escape with Chloe again, while also contacting Foster to deliver a bomb to the embassy where he is negotiating with the North Koreans. Nash and Guile have less than fifteen minutes to find McQueen, who is hiding in a shanty town, while also engaging with a local gang who are working for him. They ultimately rescue Chloe and apprehend McQueen, but Locke fails to stop Foster in time, and the bomb detonates. Foster survives the blast, but a North Korean general is dead. Nash and Guile prepare to bring in McQueen for questioning, but he is taken into custody by corrupt police officers, who are under orders from McQueen's employer Li to execute him. Nash and Locke save him, but McQueen will not co-operate unless his wife is safe. Kim Martinez and Richmond pick her up before the corrupt officers can, and McQueen reveals that Li is a member of "Office 39", a covert North Korean crime syndicate; they set up the embassy bombing to goad North Korea into conflict with the West. Nash and Guile infiltrate Li's compound and gather hard drives to learn more of Office 39's operation. Meanwhile, the corrupt officers attempt to seize Section 20's base. McQueen forfeits his life to allow his wife and the team to escape. The attack leads Locke to suspect an Office 39 mole from the embassy. It is revealed that the mole is Mei, Foster's wife, who kills Foster in the hospital. Section 20 question Luane, a secretary who they suspect is the mole. Foster's autopsy shows he was poisoned with potassium chloride after she was arrested, leading Locke to conclude that Mei was his killer. Meanwhile, Nash goes to meet with his son Finn for the first time when he arrives in Bangkok. Section 20's base is soon attacked by the Yakuza, under the false belief that they killed their boss. They chase Nash and Finn as well, and the two end up on the run in the jungle. The rest of Section 20 survive the attack, and Locke goes to confront Mei, who subdues him and escapes. The team learns of a car dealership run by the new boss Shiro, who Mei has manipulated into killing the last boss, also his father, and from there they find his private island. The team gathers intelligence and learns that the Yakuza is selling vanadium to Office 39, so they could upgrade North Korea's missile technology. Guile fails to apprehend Shiro, and finds himself pinned down by heavy fire. Guile is saved by two Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives Faber and Mason, who were working undercover to rendition Shiro to the United States. Locke allows them to continue their mission if they aid Section 20 to stop the vanadium shipment in a depot the Yakuza are using as a front. When they covertly enter the depot, Mason and Faber compromise the mission to attempt to kill Shiro, as it is their actual mission. The rest of the team chased two trucks with the vanadium. After one is destroyed, the Yakuza park the second and ambush Section 20. Richmond draws out the Yakuza so Martinez can destroy the second truck. Locke learns from Shiro (before he is killed by the CIA agents) that the trucks were a diversion; the vanadium is already bound for North Korea. Furthermore, Richmond is shot and captured by Mei. Nash and Finn escape to safety on a fisherboat. Nash, now hearing of Richmond's capture, races to rescue her, but is devastated to find her dead on a dirt road. After that, Nash and Guile smuggle themselves into North Korea to destroy the vanadium. They meet with an MI6 contact, who hands them weapons and a map to a smelting factory in North Hamgyong Province where the vanadium is held, after which they escape a team of North Korean troops. Mei, real name Li-Na, arrives home and reunites with Kwon, a former lover, who is assigned to ensure Li-Na reintegrates into North Korea. Li-Na orders Office 39 agents to kidnap Finn in Bangkok. As Locke and Martinez look for him, Nash and Guile sneak into the smelting factory by hiding inside a local governor's car. Despite facing off against heavy resistance, Nash and Guile manage to destroy the factory. As they prepare to leave North Korea, Nash learns of Finn's capture, and that Li-Na will kill him should they not surrender; Nash and Guile turn themselves in. Nash and Guile's capture attracts media attention, prompting Whitehall official Charles Ridley to deny their existence, whilst ordering Locke not to rescue them. Locke disregards the order when Martinez spots hand signals from Guile, leading to an exfiltration point. The two go to Vladivostok to enlist the help of Federal Security Service (FSB) agent Nina Pirogova, who previously assisted Section 20. Meanwhile, Li-Na uses Finn to coerce Nash and Guile to "confess" on video that their mission was sanctioned by the British and Americans to destabilize North Korea. The three eventually break captivity and hold Li-Na hostage long enough to escape the heavily guarded compound, but Finn is wounded in the process. They are eventually rescued by Locke, Martinez and Pirogova; returning to Russia where Finn receives medical treatment. Martinez then leaves the team to return to her previous position in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Meanwhile, Li-Na is about to be executed by her father for her failure when she is saved by Kwon, and the two become rogue agents. The two are later spotted in Vienna, where Section 20 learns they are planning an attack against Europe. In Vienna, one of Pirogova's assets Nadia Dansky steals and clones the mobile phone of Ivan Myshkin, a Russian mafia enforcer working with Li-Na. She meets Pirogova at an opera house, where Myshkin tracks down and kills Dansky. With the gathered intelligence, Locke discovers that Kwon will meet "Oppenheimer", codename for an infamous IRA bomber. Section 20 survey the meeting, where Locke realizes that "Oppenheimer" is his son's killer. "Oppenheimer" gets away while Nash captures Kwon, who refuses to divulge Li-Na's location. Nash and Guile trick him into escaping so that they can follow him, but Kwon discovers the ruse and loses them. Pirogova follows Myshkin to a bank and spots Li-Na, while Kwon kidnaps the bank manager's wife to ensure they gain access to a vault. From there, Li-Na gathers a notebook from a safe deposit box. Nash and Guile arrive to engage Myshkin's men, but Li-Na and Kwon escape, while Myshkin escapes with a captive Pirogova. Nash and Guile continue their pursuit, rescuing Pirogova, but they lose Li-Na and Kwon when they are held up by local police. Myshkin reveals that the notebook contains codes before Pirogova leaves to hand him into the FSB. Nash and Guile track down the decoder the Russians kidnapped to crack the notebook's code. When the decoder is revealed to be on Kwon's side, he escapes, and Kwon later kills him when he fulfills his use. Meanwhile, Locke uncovers an Office 39 agent working as a nuclear technician, leading the team to conclude Li-Na is having a nuclear bomb created. Nash and Guile intercept the nuclear material before Kwon can. Kwon and the Russians eventually surround them, however and steal it back. Locke confronts "Oppenheimer", who reveals that Locke was his intended target, and that it was in fact one of Locke's superiors who ordered the bombing. When "Oppenheimer" does not divulge where Li-Na is going, Locke kills him. Nash and Guile discover that Li-Na and Kwon intend to attack the United Nations headquarters in Geneva. Meanwhile, Ridley disbands Section 20 and orders the team home, but the three defy orders and continue to Geneva. Nash and Guile enter the building but are spotted by Office 39 agents masquerading as security guards, who aid Li-Na and Kwon to hold delegates hostage in the council chamber with the nuclear bomb. Li-Na makes a live television announcement, vilifying UN's treatment of North Korea. Nash and Guile find that a secretary, Carol is an Office 39 agent, but the two convince her that Li-Na's mission is not sanctioned by North Korea, so Carol decides to work with them. Guile pretends to be captured so he and Nash can kill the other Office 39 agents, including Kwon. Li-Na does not reveal the code to disarm the bomb, so Nash calls retired CIA bomb disposal expert Mitchell Johnson and succeeds in defusing it. Section 20 take Li-Na into their custody and hand her over to a rendition team led by Faber and Mason. The team realizes that they are a team of mercenaries under orders from Ridley to kill them all; Li-Na dies and Locke is mortally wounded before he eventually dies. Nash and Guile escape by helicopter, but it is damaged from gunfire and crashes soon after. Nash and Guile are stranded in the Alps with the mercenaries in pursuit. Nash knows that the CIA hide weapons caches across Europe, so they find a telephone at the farm of a retired Austrian soldier Oscar to call Christy Bryant, a past acquaintance, for the location of the nearest one, at a nearby dam. After they leave, the mercenaries come across Oscar's farm and torture him for their location. Nash and Guile arrive at the dam, but the mercenaries arrive soon after. Furthermore, the cache is empty. When they are surrounded, Nash and Guile destroy a part of a dam, killing some mercenaries, and jump into a river, but Nash is shot in the abdomen in the process. After fighting through more mercenaries, the two make it to a safe house with Bryant. After Nash is treated, he learns that Bryant was paid off by the team to turn them over. The mercenaries surround the safe house and kill Bryant. Nash and Guile weather the initial assault, but they soon find themselves in a barn, surrounded. Faber offers to spare them if they pay him off. Instead, Guile kills Faber. The remaining mercenaries attack again, and although they are out-flanked Nash and Guile manage to kill the rest of them. Guile later confronts Ridley, and threatens him to get him to rescind his orders. Nash and Guile resign from service and reunite in America and go on a road trip with Finn. Guile had the time of his life on the road trip, but he realized that he needed the military just as much as the military needed him. He tells Nash that he knows he’s probably going to regret rejoining the United States Military, but the Military life is home to him and he doesn’t know how to do anything else; saying living life any other way would be to live a lie. Nash understood what Guile was saying, but he told Guile that he could not follow him down that path; reiterating that he’s done. When Guile asks what his plans for the future were, Nash responds by saying that he is going to spend some more time with his kid and after that he has some soul searching to do. Before Guile leaves Las Vegas, he wishes Nash good luck on his future endeavors; Nash lets Guile know that even though he’s out for good, he will always be there for Guile if he ever needs him. After their final words the two best friends went their separate ways. Kurtis gets reinstated into the U.S. Military and reassigned to the United States Air Force. 
== Street Fighter II V-(26-29) ==
Guile became a Sergeant in the United States Air Force. He developed a strong sense of pride in both the Air Force and his men, and frequently goes out drinking with them whenever they can. While in the Air Force, Guile developed a regular hobby of working out and lifting weights. During his time in the Air Force, Guile competed in and won one boxing tournament and three Kick boxing tournaments; never losing a tournament he competed in. One day some teenagers named Forrest and Bo beat up some military thugs who tried to fight them after Forrest wooed one of their dates. Afterward, the leader of the military thugs, Guile, enters the bar and sees what Bo and Forrest have done to his men. Guile and Bo fight each other, though it is obvious Guile has the upper hand. He has much more experience and military combat training, and even though Bo has mastered martial arts, he still cannot best Guile in the least. Guile easily overpowers Bo, and then leaves the bar with his men, telling Bo that he has guts. Forrest takes Bo home, then fights Guile at the Air Force Base in San Francisco. Forrest loses badly as well. Not long after that Forrest's father, Mr. Masters sends the two special commandos from the United States military, Guile and Nash to rescue Forrest from Bison. The reason Mr. Masters found out about Forrest's abduction is because Bison called him and demanded a $1,000,000,000 ransom in exchange for Forrest. The money was needed because it would give Bison and Shadowlaw the money they lost when Dorai shut down Ashura. Guile and Nash enter a helicopter after being briefed by Mr. Masters's friend from college, in order to go quickly to Spain to rescue Forrest from Bison. Bo and Zangief fight for a brief time on the beach, but Zangief, with the help of the Shadowlaw driver, knocks out Bo and puts him in the truck in which he came in. Just as Zangief puts Bo into the truck, Guile and Nash land nearby, and Zangief and the Shadowlaw driver quickly escape with Bo before Guile and Nash can confront them. Guile and Nash search the castle that Vega and Forrest were in before being worked on by Bison's physicians to see if they can find Forrest. The place is thoroughly cleaned out, and thus their search is futile. Meanwhile, Bo and Bison fight each other as Bo awakes to find himself in Shadowlaw's headquarters. Bo fights Bison to no avail, as Bison easily overpowers him. Bo is taunted by Bison into using the Hadouken, and when he is about to fire it, Bison uses his Psycho Power to cause Bo to lose control of the Hadouken. The Hadouken explodes, and this, combined with the energy of Bison's Psycho Power, knocks Bo unconscious. After they find bison’s fortress Guile and Nash infiltrate the fortress to get inside and rescue Forrest from Bison. Guile and Nash, having successfully infiltrated the Shadowlaw fortress, go their separate ways to find Forrest. Guile runs into Zangief along the way, and he initiates a fight with him. The fight between Guile and Zangief continues, as Guile continues to struggle in defeating Zangief. Guile manages to defeat Zangief after a while though. Nash fights his way into the control room of the fortress, where he finds Bison. He confronts Bison boldly, shooting a bullet into his heart. Bison uses his Psycho Power to render this bullet useless. Afterward, Bison attacks Nash relentlessly, and eventually chokes him. Nash doesn't survive the choke, and dies because of it. Nash is killed by a chokehold Bison puts on him. Guile eventually finds his way into the control room, where he finds his friend Charlie Nash dead from Bison. Guile, realizing Bison killed Nash, rushes in to attack him with an extreme rage. Bison uses his Psycho Power to blast Guile back to the entrance of the room, where Guile stays for quite a while. Guile gets back up from Bison's Psycho Power that he was previously hit with, and stands again to face him. Bison is amused by this, but sends Chun-Li to fight Guile as he doesn't have time to fight Guile personally. Bo and Forrest eventually meet up with Guile and Chun-Li in the control room of the fortress. Their reunion is short-lived, however, as Bison's eagle head transports Guile and Chun-Li outside to continue their battle. Guile and Chun-Li battle outside, while Bo, Forrest, and Bison in the focal point of the universe, basically just another dimension that Bison's eagle head sends them to. There, Bo and Forrest seem destined to lose, because of Bison's overwhelming Psycho Power. Bo and Forrest's fighting abilities are no match for Bison, and Guile is losing tremendously to Chun-Li, since the cyberchip has made her a much more powerful opponent than she was without it. Bison uses his Psycho Crusher and Double Knee Press attacks to overpower Bo and Forrest, severely wounding both of them. They eventually find the strength needed to carry on thanks to their Hadou powers. Forrest uses the Hadou Shoryu to weaken Bison substantially (and this also knocked the cyberchip off Chun Li's head), allowing Bo to finish him off with a Whirlwind Hurricane Kick, followed by a Rising Dragon Punch, and then finally a Hadouken. The Hadouken connected because Bison was distracted at the time, as he was charging for another Psycho Crusher attack. After Bison is gone, Bo and Forrest go back to America, then Bo sails to an unknown location, though it is presumably his home in Japan. A year after this Kurtis meets an attractive Native American woman named Julia and marries her. Holding Bison responsible for the death of his best friend, he seemingly dedicates his whole life to exacting revenge on Bison, who has somehow survived the explosion. A court case against the Shadaloo dictator fails when Bison bribes all the judges to let him go free. Bison by this time wants revenge on Guile, Chun-Li, and many other people who had hindered his syndicate's efforts.
== Street Fighter II-30 ==
To this end, he sets up the second World Warrior tournament to trap them, among other reasons. Guile, for his part, takes the bait, deserting his wife to pursue the vendetta. Although the circumstances on how Guile approaches Bison are sketchy, he manages to force Bison into submission and asks him if he remembers him or his friend Charlie. While Bison admits that Guile is stronger than before, he ignores the question and dares Guile to kill him if he's so intent on revenge. Guile hesitates and relents, realizing that he should not become the murderer Bison is. What happens next (whether Guile attempts to take Bison into custody himself or whether he leaves him where he is for some reason) is not exactly known, but Akuma "kills" Bison with the Shun Goku Satsu shortly thereafter. Guile returns home and visits Charlie's grave, admitting that no amount of revenge will bring him back. Suddenly, Julia show’s up, telling Guile that she is willing to forgive him if he is willing to come home. Guile is overjoyed and re-dedicates himself to being the best husband he can be.
== Street Fighter III-31 ==
Though his vendetta is concluded, Guile still believes it possible that Charlie may be alive, due to the fact that only Charlie's dog tags were found at the scene of the Shadaloo explosion, and demands that his superiors allow him to continue the search. His commanding officer refuses, and Guile tenders his resignation. Guile is surprised when his superior ignores the resignation, assigning Guile to the investigation of S.I.N., an organization with alleged ties to Shadaloo. Guile is at first incredulous that Shadaloo lives on without Bison, but soon takes to his new assignment with zeal. Recruiting Chun-Li to the investigation, the two enter a new tournament organized by S.I.N., in the hopes of infiltrating its headquarters. Over the course of the tournament he encounters a mysterious French fighter named Abel, who seems to recognize Guile's Sonic Boom attack. Since only he and Charlie know this attack, Guile comes to the conclusion that Abel has information on Charlie's ultimate fate, and immediately starts pressing him for answers on where he saw the Sonic Boom before. Abel is completely unwilling to share such sensitive information with a stranger who could easily be a spy, and they exchange blows. It is currently unknown who won the fight. Later, in the S.I.N. headquarters, Guile recovers important data while Chun-Li is trapped by Vega, with the base's self-destruction imminent. En route to rescuing Chun-Li, Guile is ambushed by one of Bison's cyborgs (in the same mold as Seth). Abel arrives and takes on the cyborg instead, telling Guile where Chun-Li is and telling him to hurry. Exactly how Chun-Li is then rescued is unclear - Gen seems to have protected her from a collapse and then broken free from the rubble, but is nowhere to be seen later as Guile and Abel watch the base explode, with an unconscious Chun-Li in Guile's arms. After these events, Guile returns to Charlie's grave, placing a beer bottle on it as a way of buying his old friend a drink. He tells the grave that although S.I.N.'s plans have been foiled, he knows that he hasn't seen the last of Shadaloo just yet.
== Special Forces-(32-43) ==
A year after that Guile gets out of the military and joins the Special Forces. During his time in the Special Forces he went by the code name Jax(short for his middle name Jackson). While he worked there he began a friendship and became a partner of Sonya Blade. In a few years of working there he would become direct superior of the Special Forces. At the age of 40, Kurtis and Julia gave birth to a daughter named Amy. After a prison break at the Special Forces' detention facility, Jax, who was driving along a highway, received a transmission from his fellow Special Forces operative Gemini detailing the escape and the escapees: No Face, Tasia, Jarek and Tremor. She informed him that they had escaped to a warehouse on the town's south side, likely receiving assistance from an outside source. Jax surmised that source to be Kano, the Black Dragon leader. He received another transmission from one Lieutenant Sanchez, whose squad had arrived at the warehouse. After the transmission was cut off at the source, Jax arrived at the scene to find the squad massacred. For this, he swore he would achieve vengeance against Kano. Using prototype bionic implants on his arms in order to enhance his strength, Jax set out to find his enemy. Infiltrating the warehouse, Jax confronted No Face and dispatched him. Proceeding into the sewers, he eliminated Tasia. At this point, Jax contacted Gemini who informed him that the Black Dragon was using a corporate building as a front for their base of operations. At the building, Jax confronted and defeated Jarek, and his investigation led him to the town of the lost city of Sin Kiang, where he defeated Tremor and discovered a portal to Outworld which Tremor had been guarding. Surmising that the portal was linked to Kano's plans of global domination, he entered. The portal led to Outworld, and Jax caught up with Kano, who had acquired an artifact called the Eye of Chitian through which he could acquire great power. After an exchange of words, the two fought, and Jax emerged victorious. He used the Eye's power to bring them both back to Earthrealm and brought Kano into custody, only to have the criminal escape at a later date. At this point, Jax ceased using his bionic implants.
== Mortal Kombat II-44 ==
Following the end of the Mortal Kombat tournament in which both the wanted Kano and Jax's friend, Lt. Sonya Blade, had entered, Jax came across the Earthrealm warriors finding Forrest Masters in the waters close to the Special Forces Agency, and took him in for an interrogation on the whereabouts of Sonya. Forrest explained the events that took place on the island although Jax didn't believe him until he received a video signal from Sonya. As an apology to Forrest for not believing his story, he visited him at a commercial shoot where Forrest was attacked by Outworld forces. Jax fought against the Shokan, Kintaro, but their fight was interrupted when the Earthrealm warriors arrived to help. After helping Forrest fight against the intruders, Jax traveled into Outworld once more to compete in the next tournament along with the Earthrealm warriors in hopes of finding Sonya. Soon Jax came to learn of the emperor Shao Kahn's dark plans for Earthrealm. He was successful in freeing Sonya from the clutches of Shao Kahn and arresting Kano once again, though he eluded capture as soon as they had passed through the portal to Earth. Jax warned his government of the impending danger but would find himself frustrated, however, as not only did Kano escape back into Outworld, but the government did not believe the major.
== Mortal Kombat 3-45 ==
After this he was transferred to the Riot Control Brigade where he went by the code name Stryker. He was the leader of the Riot Control Brigade when Outworld's portal opened over New York City. He attempted to keep order among the populace in the ensuing chaos, but soon all human souls were taken by Shao Kahn with the exception of those that belonged to the chosen warriors. Stryker did not understand why he had been spared until he received a vision from Raiden, instructing him to head west in order to meet with the other chosen warriors and learn about the importance of his survival. Although he did not wish to be one of the few souls that were spared, he entered the fray with the intention of avenging the lives of the innocent that he had vowed to serve and protect. Along with the other warriors, Stryker assisted in liberating Earthrealm from Shao Kahn's clutches. After this Jax began to prepare for war covertly, and once more outfitted his arms with bionic implants. Later, Kurtis and Julia gave birth to their second child, a son named Jackson, but not all was well between them. She was tired of the fact that he was never home and that he barely spent any time with the kids, so she filed for divorce. After they split up, Kurtis began a romantic relationship and started dating his partner Sonya Blade.
=== Super Fighters vs. Superheroes ===
He later infiltrates the U.N. Orbital Space Station and defeats several of the strongest super heroes, including Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman. His rival is Lex Luthor, who he fights twice.
== Mortal Kombat 4-46 ==
After helping foil Shao Kahn's attempt to permanently claim Earth as his own, Jax became the commanding officer of the Outer World Investigation Agency (OIA). They operated from an underground bunker, and had scouts in various realms, not only exploring and mapping them, but also looking for inter-realm portals that could lead to Earth: these needed to be destroyed. Sonya went missing once again on a mission to exterminate the last known member of the Black Dragon, Jarek. Soon Jax found that Sonya was led into battle against Shinnok, a fallen Elder God. He briefly assisted Raiden in defeating Shinnok in Edenia. During these events he and Sonya found the Lin Kuei cyborg, Cyrax, malfunctioning and trapped in a desert. Returning with him to their home base, they reversed the automation process, restored his humanity, and gained a new ally. Jax also found the Black Dragon member Jarek, who he threw of a cliff, assuming it would be the end of him.
== Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance-47 ==
A Year later, trouble occurred again, his agents Kenshi and Cyrax lost in Outworld and the OIA underground facility was nuked into oblivion by the traitor Hsu Hao. Soon after these events, Raiden summoned the Earthrealm warriors to the abandoned island of Shang Tsung and asked them to travel with him to Outworld to bring down the Deadly Alliance, Jax didn't hesitate. He used this trip as a cover to track down Hsu Hao and, once he caught up with the criminal, killed him by tearing out his artificial heart. Afterward, he was among the group of warriors who made a final stand against the Deadly Alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, but was killed in the ensuing combat along with the rest of his allies.
=== Mortal Kombat: Deception ===
He, like his friends, was eventually found by Onaga and revived as a mindless drone, used to intimidate the survivors of his group before killing them outright. After being released by Liu Kang's spirit, Jax joined the fight against the Dragon King, wanting to make him pay for all he had made him do. After this Kurtis and Sonya broke up and he reconciled with his wife and they remained married.
== Mortal Kombat: Armageddon-48 ==
Later on Sonya sends Jax to lead a team of Special Forces to search for survivors after destroying Sektor's Tekunin Warship, but they vanished and were captured by the Tekunin. His own cybernetic bio scanners sent out mysterious readings before contact is lost, and Sonya feared the possibility of Jax's death. Badly injured in the melee between his special forces and the Tekunin, the cybernetics in his arms grew and permeated his entire body. He was transformed into a full cyborg. He became aware of a controlling neural chip that had been implanted in his brain by Sektor. Enraged, Jax defeated Sektor and claimed leadership of the cyborg ninja clan, the Tekunin. Jax is now more powerful than ever, but at the cost of his humanity. Because of the fact that he thinks he looks like a monstrosity and that he will never be accepted in the real world again he decides never to go back to the Special Forces or Earthrelm again. He also leaves behind his wife Julia, his daughter Amy, and his son Jackson.
