5'6'', 135-140 lbs, slim but scrawny, quite pale as well. A fond love for hoodies, this all-purpose and comfortable style of clothing.

Serious cybercrime: breaking into hundreds of secured computers and servers and stealing terabytes of confidential UN data. Creator of some of the most destructive malware known to the cyberspace, including the Virus that infiltrated the impenetrable Prime system.

[b]Personality:[/b]
A very dedicated and hard-working individual, who never leaves goals unfinished. Unfortunately, he has been struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder ever since adolescence. His impulsiveness and uncontrollable emotions quickly wrecked any kind of social relationship he maintained and he developed an introvert albeit very cynical personality, figuratively biting those who even try to come close to him emotionally. His aforementioned dedication now appears in the form of cold ruthlessness instead of just simple enthusiasm. He also has the capability of completely 'spacing out' of reality (mostly at will but sometimes impulsively) and focus on one thing and one thing only - in this state absolutely nothing can pull him back out until he is done with whatever he took into his head.

[b]Brief History:[/b]
Jake always had exceptional thinking capabilities and a great drive for success. Most people would be more than satisfied with just one of these, but he had both - and with them, a bright future ahead of him. This was apparent for everyone: his parents, his teachers and the UN itself. The officials had an eye on him for many years, they were thinking about him as the next great mind in the service of the almighty system that keeps mankind in peace. According to this, his parents often pushed the young Jake to the limit, looking to assure his elevated position in the future already.

Perhaps all these factors contributed to the BPD that became apparent in him in his early teenage years. He had all the symptoms: emotional instability, frequent and drastic behaviour changes from depression to anger... And it all started a vicious chain reaction that basically ended Jake's life as he knew about it. The UN offered him initial psychological treatment, but when that failed, they announced that they are no longer willing to take the 'unstable young man' into their ranks in fear of him 'unwillingly compromising the system'. This in turn worsened Jake's relationship with his parents considerably, who put everything up on securing that sought-after future job for their child that would provide them with enough wealth for a lifetime...only to see it all destroyed because of a sudden 'disease'.

Jake fell into a hate-fueled depression. He hated his parents for thinking of him as a tool for money and he hated the UN for giving up on him so quickly and coldly. He escaped into the virtual world and the Internet, finding temporary solace in the various online communities the UN had not yet laid their censoring hands on.

One day came a sudden turn of events - upon the encouragement of a friend he made over the web, Jake started studying his longtime interest: cybersecurity. He loved the field because it tested his out-of-the-box thinking and evolved so quickly that it was a challenge in itself keeping up with it.
This was the time he noticed that when he was truly occupied with something, his BPD almost never surfaced openly. So he wanted to be kept occupied as long as possible. Soon enough the information available publicly online became nonsatisfactory for the aspiring hacker. He started going deeper, seeking out forbidden and outright illegal sites and people in order to find out more.

A year or so later, Jake was a completely different man. With a clear understanding of UN survelliance and technology and all the means to counter them - he finally felt free. What was even better though was that he could finally put his skills to test. He started working for numerous 'rebel' organizations: groups with a cause and a shared hatred for the UN's ways. He rose to infamy very quickly and soon found himself on many 'most wanted' UN lists. He was never scared...he embraced the chaos.

An ill-fated attempt to reverse-engineer the Prime chip he took out of himself ended with the authorities finally finding a trail to the elusive Jake and capturing him. There was no question - he had to go to the Apox.

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b]
At the Apox facility UN officials tried to break him away from his rebel ways and get him to put his brilliance to work on their side (as he identified and exploited numerous security flaws in their systems), in exchange of healthier prison conditions and maybe even freedom. He gave in to these demands - at least that's what they thought. From the beginning, he left backdoors, hidden lines of code in the programs he supplied, some of which are still wide open and waiting just for him to exploit one day...
