After a terrible childhood with often neglectful parents and an unstable home, Jack endured trauma after trauma, being kidnapped, people he knew dying, moving camps so swiftly and spontaneously. Needless to say he struggled with social interaction, properly verbalizing his trauma, processing it, Jack was less than normal. While other boys preferred to go out, get into teenage trouble with girls, Jack stayed in, reading, listening to his parents argue… the usual… after the sudden and gruesome death of Uncle, then his father, who’s body had been turned into essentially Swiss Cheese, then his mother who he lost to a broken heart, Jack was majorly on his own.

He didn’t know what to do with himself, how to react, how to interact with people. After killing Ross, he was left directionless and alone.
