## Jensen

### Jake Jensen: 1981 - 1996

Jake is the eldest child of a truck driver and a dentist's office receptionist. Born and raised in Granville, Jake had a difficult childhood. His father was often out of the house for work, but when he was around he was abusive at worst and negligent at best. After he turned twelve, Jake received most of the abuse from his father as he began standing up to his father when the man would become physical with Jake's mother or upset to his three younger siblings.

Jake had this strange way of taunting his father and laughing off the pain that his father would dish out. Bloodied and bruised, Jake kept smiling and laughing at the man. This would continue until his father lost interest and stormed out of the house to go drink himself into a stupor at the bar.

When Jake was thirteen, his family moved to Smallville. A couple years after the move, Jake was put in the hospital after a confrontation with his father. While Jake was unconscious, his mother devised an excuse that satisfied the curious police investigators. When Jake woke up, he was furious with his mother for allowing this abuse to continue. When he recovered enough to walk, Jake escaped the hospital and ran away.

### Jake Jensen: 1996 - 2006

Jake stole a car and made his way to Keystone City. He suspected his father was having an affair with a woman there. He tracked the woman down and staked out her apartment. When his father arrived, he broke into his dad's truck, stole a gun from under the seat, and confronted the man. Armed and dangerous, Jake forced his father to confess to his past abusive behavior (in addition to a number of crimes and mistresses).

Though his dad's girlfriend called the cops, Jake happily surrendered and offered the cops the tape recorder he had hidden on his person. Upon hearing the tape, the cops arrested both father and son. Jake was given two-and-a-half years in lock up while his dad got ten years in prison.

Getting out with a sealed juvenile record, Jake joined the military. He had a number of technical skills he had developed while incarcerated. Jake used those skills and his ability to crack jokes to suppress his fear while in dangerous situations to leverage his way into special forces training.

Jensen was tasked to a Delta Force unit at the request of Lt. Colonel Clay who needed a technical operator in the field who could handle the stress (and keep morale high). Jensen came to look at Clay like the father he never had and was willing to follow that officer into the gates of Hell.

When their unit was burned, Jensen joined Clay and the rest of the Losers into exile (not that there was much other choice, considering they had been framed for treason and the murder of twenty-five children).

### Jake Jensen: 2006 - 2011

Even as a "dead man" (officially) and fugitive (unofficially), Jensen kept updated on the activities of his family — particularly his nephews and nieces — through social media and even hacked feeds.

### Jake Jensen: 2011 - Present

After five years of laying relatively low, Jensen and the Losers have made their return to the living in a big way, eager to clear their names.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by PetuniasFan1*) Okay, If I'm anything, I'm self-aware. I know I talk too much. I know I have this thing where if I'm not talking, I need to be snacking or chewing on something (I used to smoke too, but apparently that's bad for you?). I get it... but lustful? No. I'm not... that. Do I like the ladies? You bet. But not as much as they like me. I mean, love me. The ladies love me. Really!
* (*Submitted by Proxy*) Jensen's father was released from prison in 2006, a month after Jensen went on his last mission for Delta Force. A week after Jensen was "killed" trying to enter the country, the GCPD received an anonymous online tip that Bill Jensen was in violation of his restraining orders. The tip also had a link to a custom website that gave live updates on the GPS signal in Bill Jensen's car, courtesy of a military grade tracking device.
