Biography

History

The first time he killed someone was when he was 17 years old. His group of friends would steal cars and take them to the local chop-shop. They were eventually caught by the police and one of his friends gave them up. This made Jack angry to the point where he killed his friend. This is also believed to be the start of his relationship with cocaine, which he used to calm his nerves before doing felonious activities.

Some time in the 90's Jack returned to Vietnam to fight in wars and fly helicopters for no particular reason. This is also where he met his wife who he would start a family of 8 children with. He moved to Los Santos in early 2017 to pursue his career in voice acting for animated adult entertainment but quickly fell back into a life of crime and insurance fraud.

Betrayed by those who brought him into organized crime in the city, those below him, returning members, and the betrayal of Bob Coolidge (again) regarding the leaks about the murder of an aspiring right hand to Jack, Daquan Mathis (Q) he has dealt with paranoia and attacks from every direction including the SASP recently to which he may defend his territory of the southside and eastside more than ever before.

Grove Street Family

Jack partakes in many types of crime, varying from kidnapping, street racing, mass extortion, murder and shootouts with rival gang members. Notably, he runs The Grove Street Family. Jack often goes by the name "Zing" or "Uncle" and is referred to by that name by everyone except for those extremely close to him to preserve his identity. He has a distinct high-pitched voice that breaks a lot.

The Chop Shop

Seeing the unclaimed potential of the new Chop Shop in Hayes Auto, Jack Jackson decided to take control of it with the help of James O'Reilley and Tobius Huxley. The shop became a popular place for criminals to rob others and because of this Jack promised protection and assurance that they wouldn't be robbed. In addition, a car is left unlocked for the people who have finished chopping their cars. Later down the road, Jack Jackson stepped back from the Chop Shop but still remained in control of it and placed Jessie Slater as a manager who runs the shop on behalf of Jack Jackson as changes to drugs in the city continued. The shop is ran with the combined efforts of a few members of the Vagos and Tony Corleone. A new chop shop location has been obtained with some improvements, but is not shared until heat from the November 2018 raid repercussions come clear.

Relationships

Jack is old friends with many of the original members of 101, especially Mav Doretto (imprisoned). They have had a long history due to their shared investment in illegal street racing and the distribution of meth. Relationships to the Gambino family have been rough but stable through the purchase of guns and coke bricks, indirectly now. Jack has a very strong connection to Tony Corleone through their extensive history going back to the days of the Lean Boi's. Such that they were some of the best weed runners on SoE, performing small jobs for Jack and Omar, being get-away drivers, and recently dedicating more effort towards the rebuilding of Grove around the time of Nov 2018 raid. Jack has always been in good standing with the Dynasty from past gun running deals, despite some hiccups, thus their up and coming new leader "Cross" has instructed some of the gun distributors in Los Santos to reach out should they wish to maintain good business with a deep-pocketed Grove.

New Era For Grove

Boris leaving Grove, the death Dequan and Omar staying in hiding, left Jack the only OG and a few members, which meant Jack was the boss and had to start rebuilding The Grove Street Family. He has since dealt with doubt from members/recruits/OG's who flipped on the organization for seemingly no purpose than to get involved in the upper levels of coke distribution.

Starting with that Jack maintained/developed Grove to a steady and powerful entity. He got Archie Cooper joining Grove, who became his #2 brought in The East Side Dragons into Grove and tried to keep a friendly relationship with the Vagos in Jamestown, the only other gang that was accepted by Grove in the South and East until Paco leaving the Vagos to found his own crew.

He led Grove into a feud against the Death Dealers and the Lost MC, that resulted in a few shootouts and eventually made Grove come out on top with the Weed Farm raid they did, and Hooch and others leaving their area for a while.

One-Week Conflict With The Kings

Following an attempt to ambush Jack at a meeting with Bob, of which Jack got suspicious about because the meeting spot was changing and it was delayed multiple times, which made him stake out the spot first and then recognize that it in fact was an ambush the arising tension between those two major gangs reached a new high.

This kicked of the war against the King. Two days later Jack and a few of his members were ambushed in front of Tequilala and Jack had to stay at the hospital for more than a week. Archie with the help of Jadyn and Arrio were able to blow up a car next to Bob and the VQ, downing both in retaliation and eventually Archie and Bob, who saved Archie being downed by the VQ a little bit later set up piece conditions that Jack agreed on after.

RICO And Internal Problems

Following that, business continued in a rather slower space, eventually coming to a bit of an halt because of the very bad looking RICO situation in November, Jack lowered the time he invested into the streets and limited it to holding down Grove’s turf and very often trusting Archie in organizing Grove’s gun and drug deals as well as keeping their relationships healthy. Archie managed to set up a meeting with Alexis on the cul-de-sac in Jack’s house, where Jack told Alexis he would put Omar off the Green-light list and Alexis would organize Grove a better coke-line, that they were looking for, for a while then. Due to Archie’s and Jack’s absence after that and the problems with Jadyn and AJ trying to leave (the first of which Jack killed on Grove St, when told him about those plans) slowed down that plan or Alexis reconsidered her words.

Co-op And War With The Gambinos

During the war with the Gambinos he gave access to the most trusted members, which caused most of his weapons to be lost during it, despite him being pretty passive, seeing on the third day of the war that they already control the situation pretty good. He was leading the stash, when they picked up one of the Nomad bikers who were believed to be allies of the Gambinos and Bob, Archie and Co. executed said person later.

Following the war Jack gave Archie approval to pretty much lead when he is not around. On Tony’s wedding which he officiated himself, he also signed up on a two-weeks test Period on the proposal of Paco’s crew to run a small part of the east side if they collect for Grove in the east side in general.
