## History

Jack during the war had originally approached the military displaying his power. The military realising it could be used to stop criminals or others that were using their abilities for nefarious purposes used him to take the abilities from those people away. Slowly Jack gained influence in the military and started his own faction. The faction and Jack continued to be supported by the military due to him being a big deterrent for using abilities for nefarious purposes, which kept the world in a semi-ordered state. After so many years the deterrent had been very effective, to the point where there were not enough criminals for Jack to steal abilities from to support his Truedream faction. As Jack had a good relationship with Oscar White the supreme commander and particularly his general Duke King. Duke would set up students either with strong powers and no background with which someone would complain or investigate to have their abilities stolen by Jack, they were then taken to the dungeon where they would often disappear with the military claiming they were part of Pure.

First introduced in the novel after the death of one of his family members in a red portal world under strange circumstances. He goes to military base 2 to investigate and asks them to prepare a group of students with no notable backgrounds so that he can steal their abilities. Duke makes the selection oh the group of students which included Peter Chuck and Erin Heley. As Peter was at the time a tier 1 Earth user he was given the earth ability books with the intention that he would have the ability stolen from him by Jack. When the time came Peter had recently turned into a vampire so he no longer had his original abilities. Although Quinn, working together with Fex, Logan, Layla, and Vorden, managed to rescue both Peter and Erin, they came to late to save Erin from having her power stolen. Jack, angry that 2 students had been rescued and he had been humiliated, suspected it was the terrorist group Pure and told the military that they must find the 2 students and send them to him.

When Peter was found with a transformation ability disguised as another student, Jack plotted to have Peter join the Inter Base Tournament and have him beat to death in front of everyone to hopefully anger and draw out Pure so he can get revenge against them. This plot backfired once Peter was rescued once again and sent to the vampire world. Later, after watching Quinn's battle in the fighting competition and seeing his strange and powerful shadow ability, he assumed that Quinn was also an agent for Pure, and plotted to take his power and get revenge against Pure once again. This plan came to a halt when Quinn revealed he had the backing of the powerful and mysterious Blade family. Being warned by the rest of the Big Four not to go after Quinn, he decides to go after the Blade family instead. He loses the battle with Hilston Blade fighting him with each of the Big Fours powers but escapes using a portable portal leaving a lot of his men on the beach to die. Hilston then goes and attacks the Truedream faction wiping them out which starts the civil war.

When Hilston attacked the Truedream faction Jim Eno kidnapped Jack and took Jack to the Dalki planet/ship where he was used for his ability and kept in a cell fed gruel. Jim's clone revealed that the Truedream bloodline had been watched by Jim (in the novel it says "watched by the vampires") for a long time due to Jack's ancestor having the same ability and after his ancestor was executed by the originals, the ability had not shown up again. This led Jim to the conclusion that the bloodline had not ended. Jack's ancestor had raped a lot of women, with one of the women getting pregnant and didn't tell anyone about the circumstances. The child only adopted the Truedream name later in life, which meant the other vampires had not noticed that this dangerous ability had not been eradicated.

Jack after being captured convinced Malik and a Jim Eno clone to work with him to escape. The cell had a three-spike Dalki guarding the cell which none of them could beat and so Jack convinced him to join their cause in exchange for an ability. During the transfer of the ability, Malik had altered the Dalki's memory to be more loyal to them. After making a final clone of Jim Eno who informed them of the situation and destroyed the original Jim's brain the four of them escaped using a ship. On the ship the four of them decided to wait away from all the other factions and species to see what would happen in the future. Jack had stated on the ship a hatred for Quinn for setting him towards the Blades for the shadow ability, the Blades for defeating him and the military.

## Personality

Jack is entitled believing the world belongs to his whims. In chapter 1464 Jack had blamed his circumstances on the people involved including Quinn who had displayed his shadow ability and Jack wanted to steal, the Blades for defeating him and destroying his faction and the military despite their minimal involvement in the situation. He also displays an excellent ability of manipulation and drawing others to his cause, he has said this was his most important trait as he is unable to use the stolen abilities just transfer them to others.

Jack dislikes his abilities limitation to transfer or steal abilities via a kiss which is why he gets his subordinates to put the victims to sleep whilst he performs the action on them. However, he does disclose his attraction to Erin Heley when he steals her ability and says he looks forwards to kissing her.

## Ability

Jack's ability is to transfer and store abilities from others using a kiss. Jack's ability leaves the person that he has stolen the ability from incapable of learning another ability. The amount of abilities that he is capable of storing is dependent on the strength of the abilities, with the higher ranked abilities allowing him to hold less. Jack is then capable of transferring the stolen abilities to other people.

Richard Eno on the Blade island had revealed that a lot of abilities were exclusive to humans or vampires with some abilities capable of being learned by both. However, the ability Jack has breaks this rule as he can steal abilities from either humans or vampires and give species exclusive abilities to the other species, this would mean he could potentially transfer the shadow ability and give it to a human. This was demonstrated in chapter 1462 where Jack transferred an ability to the Dalki known as Pine despite the races inability to learn abilities.
