Special Operations Sargent Hendricks Jackson is an elite special forces operative for S.C.A.R.E.D. Jackson participated in the S.C.R.E.A.M. Incursion, used as one of his tests to be accepted into the Leftanents program. He is one of the main playable characters in S.C.A.R.E.D. Hour Zero, starting with Assessment03.

## History

Hendricks Jackson was accepted into S.C.A.R.E.D. after years of service fighting for KLEX Corp. During his time in S.C.A.R.E.D., he worked closely with Special Operations, continuing to fight for KLEX Corp with a small squad of S.C.A.R.E.D. operatives. At some point he began training to become a Leftanent. Around this time, he met Chloe Anderson and the two began dating. He was noted for being a former Mormon Missionary.

## S.C.A.R.E.D. Hour Zero

### S.C.R.E.A.M. Incursion

#### Assessment03

Jackson was dispatched to Greyfield following Captain Thomas Harrisons helicopter being shot down in the Construction yard. As apart of his Leftanent training, Jackson entered the area alone, engaging hostile S.C.R.E.A.M. forces, fighting his way to crash site. He was able to save Harrison and several soldiers and destroyed the SAM site a group of Enforcers setup. Following the rescue, Harrison and his men accompanied Jackson to the D.E.A.T.H. facility.

#### Assessment04

Jackson and Assault Team Union reached the roof, with Union staying behind to protect the roof while Jackson cleared the area and rescued Chloe Anderson. After he wiped out the mercenaries, Harrison and his team began their mission while Jackson searched for Anderson's missing men. Jackson crawled through a vent where he came across Corporal Dan Mole, calling for help before being killed. Garland was horrified and remarked that this wasn't done by S.C.R.E.A.M. Jackson then recovered a hard drive that contained information on D.E.A.T.H. Project Mengele. As Jackson continued fighting, he ended up deep underground where he eventually lost contact with Garland. He found himself in a series of chambers holding Y-19, and several WASPs containing the chemical into barrels. He engaged with a squad of WASPs before being spotted by S.C.R.E.A.M. Commander Mordrid Lucrita who was unimpressed with Jackson's performance. Against Jackson's judgement, he left Lucritia as he was too well protected within the control room. In turn, Lucrita ordered his men to stand down and not engage Jackson, until he picked up a distress call coming from Brighton Williams. After fighting through a few mercenaries in a burning lab, he was able to regroup with Williams.

#### Assessment05

Jackson was tasked with escorting a D.E.A.T.H. Base Commander to a command post that was setup by National Guard and D.E.A.T.H. Forces. After taking the officer there, the order to kill all government forces went into effect, and the National Guard soldiers as well as Williams were killed. Jackson survived and fought through squads of both S.C.R.E.A.M. and D.E.A.T.H. before getting high enough to recontact Garland. Garland was glad to hear he was still alive and ordered him to stop S.C.R.E.A.M. from evacuating from the facility as several S.C.R.E.A.M. Choppers were in the area. Jackson ran into Tuker Mase as he fought towards the roof, where Mase mocked him before ordering his men to kill him. As Jackson cut the guards down, a squad on the roof shot down Lucritas chopper and a battle on the roof began. Jackson worked his way to the roof, killing Lucrita's body guards and eventually Lucrita himself. After this, Dust-7 picked him up and transferred him to the Warehouse district that S.C.R.E.A.M. evacuated to.

#### Assessment06 and 07

While at the warehouse, Greyfield Police Department set up a perimeter around the area, unintentionally trapping a gang known as the Black Jackets in the area, who were trying to escape the area. They confused Jackson for a SWAT operative and fired on him, eventually realizing he was a soldier. As Jackson fought through the Warehouse, he discovered a secret facility in the basement, which was where S.C.R.E.A.M. was. D.E.A.T.H. forces who escaped the facility, including Mase, were there as well, still trying to clean up their operations and trying to kill S.C.R.E.A.M. Here, Jackson and Garland both discovered more information on Y-19 and the work Doctor Alexander Grey worked on. As Jackson closed in on S.C.R.E.A.M. General Archild Prayer, he uncovered the truth about D.E.A.T.H. being a secret Nazi cult. Prayer, much like the other commanders, was unimpressed with Jackson, telling him to stay away. Jackson refused and as Prayer tried to reactivate the elevators, Jackson killed the Enforcers in the area. The last of S.C.R.E.A.M. was fighting D.E.A.T.H., and were loosing. Jackson killed the remaining mercenaries before attacking the Elite D.E.A.T.H. Guard, killing both Tuker Mase and his body guards, before finishing his hunt on Prayer. Battling Failed Test Subjects and Holy Warriors, he finally cornered Prayer, where they engaged in a brutal fight. Jackson killed him, and then attempted to escape from the facility. Several Failed Test Subjects were in the area and killing Black Jackets before Jackson stopped them. The last of the Black Jackets, led by Thomas Write, attempted a last stand against him, but were unsuccessful. Jackson killed them all and opened the warehouse doors to let the National Guard in to secure the area. Jackson was then evacuated back to base, where he was accepted into the Leftanents program.

## Gameplay

Jackson plays a little differently than the other characters. Unlike before, Jackson does not have a locked health system, instead able to refill his health regardless of how much he had finishing a level. In addition, he fires weapons much faster and can quick save. Instead of using a SOS light, he uses a flashlight with a depleting battery he found in the Construction yard.
