Age: mid-fifties
Birthplace: Oyster Bay, New York
Strengths: Hard working, dedicated, honest
Weaknesses: Megalomania, prideful

Appearance: Approximately 5"7 feet, slightly overweight but in excellent shape for his age. He appears slightly balding and worn out from the situation, but he still shares private smile with fellow survivors. Occasionally a old knee injury crops up and renders him relatively immobile for days at a time. He appears of Caucasian decent, but other then that his ethnicity is hard to nail down. Usually wearing a crisp officer uniform of the Malton Police Department with his Instructor badge neatly sewn on the arm. Although some emergencies interrupt this old routine, he is generally clean shaven and impeccable with his dress.
Background/History: The oldest son of immigrant parents, at a young age Jack learned the value of hard work and dedication. When in his teenage years, a serial murderer broke into his house, raped his mother, and killed both parents. During the ensuing years he was split up with most of his siblings, though he did manage to stick with two sisters and a younger brother when located to his grandparents house.
His grandfather was a routine alcoholic and grandmother was busy with work and unable to raise the kids, dropping the weight of taking care of his family squarely on Jack's shoulders. Despite everything, all of his siblings made it through school ok, and Jack excelled in most subjects. With solid test scores, he was quickly accepted into secondary school for criminal justice. However, upon graduating, Jack was tapped out for CIA training due to his performance.
In the ensuing years, Jack's history is understandably silent. His work was sensitive, and though he has never confirmed it, it was rumored that he worked as a human lie detector. With his 50th birthday, he accepted a much deserved retirement from public service.
In the following years, Jack's life was complicated by various family disputes. His daughter, Pam Byrnes, fell in love with a male nurse from Chicago named Gaylord M.Focker. Jack distrusted his daughters fiance, which led to quite a few complications.
While on vacation in England, Jack was amongst those trapped during the quarantine. He spent the first few years of the Outbreak defiant of the military forces imprisoning the city, and nearly died on many attempts to get out and reunite with his family back in the States. After a sniper shot nearly took his life, he finally resigned himself to life in the zombie infested city.
