Handsome Jack

Handsome Jack, also known as John, Hideous Pathetic Little Nobody, President of Hyperion Corporation, Gentle Jim and Mr. Hyperion, is a character from the Borderlands series.
== Charactah Account ==
After taking over the Hyperion corporation (via strangulation of his boss), Jack has made it his goal to "bring order" to Pandora by wiping out every undesirable on the planet. To do this, he needs what is inside the second Vault, and is having his armies drill into the planet and mine Eridium for this purpose.
The Pre-Sequel! expands upon his past, showing how he rose to take control of Hyperion while trying to save the people of Elpis and Pandora from the Lost Legion. In the process, Jack's progression into megalomania and madness is shown as he faces intense stress, makes morally questionable decisions, and deals with the consequences of his own greed.
