Physical Description
Jack has a well built muscular frame without being too bulky, though he definitely has 'guns'. His vibrant ginger hair is done up in a top knot with the sides and back shaved. His eyes are almond shaped with a monolid and his irises are a dark brown almost black color.

When not in uniform he preferes simple, comfortable clothing, usually khakis or jeans with a black or dark green shirt.

Personality
His squadron knows and greatly respects the main two sides of his personality. There is the serious, no nonsense, efficient commander who always has his squadron's back but also expects perfection.

And then there is the guy who is absolutely in love with his wittle pupper and takes the tiny fluff everywhere.

Of course his puppy, Scorpius, is practically the Scorpion's mascot now, even though there was some controversy (and still is) over the puppy when he and his ex girlfriend broke up and the headlines were littered with rumors about what happened. There was even a custody battle over Scorpius, which Jack won.

Magic/Abilities
Telepathy- Mediocre
Faunapathy- Enough to hear the surface thoughts of animals without trying but not a developed skill since he always found it impractical.
Cryokinesis- Once strong but now he can barely manifest a snowflake.
Pyrokinesis- Fairly strong

Relationships
Jonah Bartleby Cole aka Jonesy- Squadron Leader for the Scorpions and his close, but incedibly creepy friend.

Scorpius- Jack's adorable puppy / team mascot! When Jack adopted him he was under weight, his fur was matted and he had a tail that was broken and healed wrong so it hangs weird and a lot like a scorpion tail, which to be fair was part of what made him take notice of the poor puppy. His now ex girlfriend wanted to get a cute little Yorkie instead and said "Eww but that dog looks sickly." Of course the tabloids would have you believe that she was the one who rescued Scorpius and that she loved the dog more than Jack. Which is not humanly possible.

Shamash- Jack's dragon. They get along well enough personally. Shamash loves Scorpius too though he doesn't openly say it.

History
Born and raised in Margad (the agricultural center of Aedolis) and displaying psionic abilities from an early age, Jacob always knew he wanted to be part of the Scorpions' squadron. He admired how they fearlessly defended Aedolis from outside threats, protecting her people at all costs. A Margad Scorpion seemed like the coolest thing anyone could ever hope to be!

No one told him what hell he'd be in for.

Candidacy was one thing. It became abundantly clear that hazing and learning your place, being molded into a Pilot- into a soldier worthy of being partnered with a dragon, was going to be tough. But that was fine. It wasn't supposed to be easy. Pilots were the elites, the best of the best. What he could not have expected as a boy dreaming of defending Aedolis, was that after becoming a Pilot- after joining the Scorpions, the hazing would be worse.

Well, his Commander called what he allowed the Squadron Leaders to do 'hazing', Jacob had a few other choice words for it, but they were still in the 'aftermath' of war. Insurgent groups still threatened Aedolian soil. Disruption among the ranks would not be tolerated, and with the Commander turning a blind eye to such horrendous actions commited by his own squadron leaders... There was nothing to be done but grin and bear it.

After the treaties started to be fully enforced Jack; now the assistant squadron leader himself, refused to continue the cycle of abuse on squadron members and recruits alike. He reported the Commander and Squadron Leader to the Inquiry, entirely expecting to lose his own career in the process, but he would be damned if he let any other young boys dream of becoming a Scorpion if this was the reality of it. He'd rather see the squadron disbanded.

Instead he was not charged with anything, not put on probation, not suspended from duty. He was given interim command of the squadron as a mere Echo and the opportunity to prove that he deserved it permenantly. He proved that, not only to his superiors, but to his underlings as well.

NOTE: ONLY SOME HIGHER GOVERNMENT PILOTS AND SCORPIONS MEMBERS WHO LIVED THROUGH THIS ARE AWARE OF THIS HISTORY. Most have no idea why the old commander and squadron leader where dismissed from duty and arrested. They remain in jail still.
