Profile
Captain Jack, as he insists on introducing himself, is first met in Sector Carina as the Red Sprite's crews were investigating Sector Eridanus. He takes the opportunity to admit he was sent in to scavenge valuable materials by a private foundation, and finds the idea of an outright alliance unappealing, though he does acknowledge he is interested in forging a mutual understanding. Given his squad was mostly outfitted for combat, they are not ready to find the highly valuable supplies they came for, and request the Protagonist both to find said materials and the Forma Search program used to find them in exchange for "cooperation".

Once this is done, Jack will tell the Protagonist to receive the next Gate Search program from Ryan in Eridanus' top floor. When the Protagonist fails to kill Ouroboros, it will be Jack who points out the exact locations from which Ouroboros is siphoning energy, allowing the Protagonist to destroy them and end Ouroboros' eternal life.

After this, he is left unseen until the events of Sector Fornax. He and his men use a special ability of their ship to twist the Schwartzwelt's space into their own continuum, giving them a more secure base. He then oversaw the squad's brutal experiments until Jimenez entered the labs and destroyed most of the equipment, horrified at the monstruous conditions under which they treated the demons (routinely mutilating and killing them for materials and supplies).

An angered Jack sent a message to the Red Sprite acknowledging the severance of all peaceful overtones, and soon after Jack's Squad HQ was asaulted by the Red Sprite's crew. They released Jimenez from experimentation, at the cost of him losing his full humanity in the process; while Jimenez killed Jack's demons, the Protagonist engaged Jack. Once defeated, he tried to bargain for his life, but instead was brutally killed by Awake Jimenez as revenge for his horrific deeds.

In battle, he is fought along two Pisacas, who try to use Bites the Dust on the Protagonist and his team, inflicting the Bomb status. Jack himself only has two attacks: Pure Blue, a composite of Diarama and Dekunda, and Rain Shot, a potent Bullet-type attack that can easily kill a weak party.
