## Biography

### Early Life

Unlike his Earth-1 counterpart, Jackson suffered horrifically throughout his entire childhood. He was born into a rough household with an alcoholic father and a suicidal mother, his family was middle class and lived in a terraced home in East London.

Jackson's father William was extremely abusive towards his mother, him and his brother Ryan. William would often beat them individually while in one of his alcohol induced furies, one beating was so violent that William ended up breaking Jackson's left arm with a hammer. By the time Jackson was 9 he had already become extremely hardened in terms of how much he could take physically and became unnaturally desensitised to violence as a result of all he had witnessed in his short life.

At school Jackson was an outcast, and a victim of bullying, he often spent his lunch breaks alone away from anyone else as he feared they were out to hurt him like his father was. He was however, very academic, passing all of his tests with flying colours.

#### Secondary School

When Jackson attended Secondary School he began making more friends and diminished his reputation as an outcast, among these new friends was Max Kenway, the first person he had truly ever trusted. However, this bliss did not last and his world soon came crashing down.

#### Tragedy

*"Sometimes I truly wish that Jackson had died in that warehouse with everyone else"*
—Depravity
On the weekend after his friend Charlie's birthday, 14 year old Jackson had been invited to go to the movies along with his five of his friends, however before they could get to the movie theatre they were suddenly kidnapped off of the streets by a group of violent cultists. What followed was several hours of torture in an abandoned warehouse in south-east London, Jackson and his friends brutally submitted to various forms of physical and psychological torture in an attempt by the crazed cultists to make the boys lose their minds.

This horrific torture lasted for 8 days.

Eventually, police and detectives had discovered the location where the cultists were holding the boys and had grouped up outside and were preparing to breach the warehouse, the cultsists began systematically executing the boys, one by one Jackson watched each of his friends die including Max. As the cutlists were preparing to execute Jackson, armed police breached the warehouse and shot each cultist dead following a firefight. Jackson was rescued, and sent immediately to hospital.

What the police didn't realise however was that the cultists had succeeded and the sole survivor of this horrific event, Jackson, had completely and utterly lost his sanity.

### Life As Depravity

After weeks of recovering physically from the tragedy that had befallen him, Jackson was sent home to his family. Immediately upon arrival his father and mother engaged in an argument, when it turned violent William Blake began strangling his wife, Jackson couldn't take this any longer and grabbed a kitchen knife wielding it in his right hand. Before William could react, Jackson had lodged the knife in his father's throat whereupon he began unleashing a flurry of attacks upon him.

Jackson's father died there in a pool of blood and the unhinged Jackson packed his bags and ran from his home, from that day Jackson Blake was essentially dead as he fully became a separate identity, which he affectionately named Depravity.
