## History

### Origins

Growing up Jackson Kane was raised by a cold and distant mother, who focused on her business in her family's Rifle Company that made her millions while his father created the crows. Since he saw fit that after Beth Kane's disappearence that Gotham was deemed unworthy for criminals to walk the street and didn't believe that the GCPD could get the job done he would, and he led the case for his missing daughter.

A year after his sisters dissapearence Jacob and his mother Catherine Hamilton had a son, Jackson. His life was filled with dread as his father and sister were looking for his Beth.

### Teenage Years

While Kate went to Point Rock Military Academy Jackson spent his days with his father at Crows Security. He would sit in and listen over the radio as they stopped a variety of different criminals such as Penguin, Riddler, or lesser known villains like Professor Pyg. When he was younger he had found a owl crystal object in his dads office, and was mesmerised by this...this started his obcession with Owls, one of his favorite animals.

Later on, after a year or two Kate was caught having an affair with Sophie Moore. Hearing this, Jack was shocked, not because he didn't know his sister but soon after the discovery Kate quit the lifelong dream she had of not only training in the military but also joining up with the Crows as an employee. Throughout the years after this Kate became distant and soon afterwards left to train across the world. However, Jack saw it as now being an only child with two parents that were never home to care for him.

### Young Adulthood

Throughout his young adulthood, Jack was home for more hours of the day then not. His mother was working in Gotham as the CEO of the rifle company and his father was driving the crows mad to look for criminals in the city. This left Jack to raise himself. Meanwhile not that long after Kate had returned home after her training, Jack noticed that she had changed much more then when she had left, and therefore became more aloof.

Over the first year of her training Jack noticed that Kate would mysteriously disappear for hours on end and then come home, he wasn't sure why but it was usually after a phone call that she made up at the last minute for an excuse. A week after this Jack would go to try and confront her, and in return heard her talking about how she was going to stop a gun deal.

### Training with Batwoman

After Jack confront Kate about being Batwoman she became defensive, trying to get him not to tell anyone. Relecuctantly Jack agreed, but on one condition. He was going to be her ears for the first year and in return she would train him. Even though throughout his training he was amazing on the computer in his room when he was alone in the house at nights, he craved to be in the field with her. Kate agreed but she said that he needed a suit to conceal his identity, so he went to talk to Lucius Fox.

#### Designing his suit

When Jack walked into Wayne Enterprises he ran into Bruce, he was surprised to hear that Jack was intriuged with how the business was doing. When they got to talking Jack noticed that Lucius had entered a different Elevator then the one that had only been going up, and when he asked about it Bruce brushed off the question to avoid it.

After Bruce did this the two booked a meeting with each other in the future, and after the man before him left Jack would walk over to the elevator that had been used by Lucius. After managing to pry open the doors without anyone noticing he would crawl inside. With a loud thud the doors would close behind him and he would crawl down the ladder until the bottom floor/elevator ceiling. He would then lift off the tile and would drop down. After the door open button did it's job he would walk out into the lab where Lucius had been developing the Bat Family's gear and armor.

After walking in he was of course confronted by the person he was looking for, and Jack began to explain everything. How he was recruited by Batwoman into becoming a hero, and wanted to do so in his own right. After explaining everything that happened Lucius cautiously accepted, and began designing the suit around what Jack told him. It ended out becoming the perfect symbol Jack needed, an owl...rather Owlman or NiteOwl.

#### First Year

While Jack was on missions with his sister Kate he didn't appreciate her use of weapons which she got from her father, even though Jack did use them didn't mean he thought violence was the only way. This was proven when he was on a misson with Batwoman where they were taking down Joker thugs, while Kate was shooting the criminals he couldn't bring himself to do the same. He saw the good in everyone, and that their needed to be some sort of justice outside of guns.

After the mission, Kate verbally assaulted Jack. She cussed him out for him being too weak in her eyes, and thus he left the house and started nightly patrols on his own. A few weeks after this he helped Batman take down Oswald Cobblepot's gun running organization, and offered him a position in the Batfamily...The rest is history.

## Personality

As Owlman, Jack is very stoic and committed to helping Gotham City. While mostly an antisocial individual, he can give respect to those he thinks deserves it, as well as care for his family in times of need. As an adult, Jack is fearless and passionate. With Jack being raised by himself he's become more aloof, his parents never home to care for him and this contributes to his anti-social life. That was until Kate came back and the two bonded almost immeadiately, hitting bars and drinking their nights away and even sparring together. Even though Jack was trained by his sister to use guns Jack hates using them, he takes after Bruce in this respect. He believes that there's more than one way to justice, and that everyone has a second chance. But will also use them if he feels it necessary.
