Personality: Most of Jack's personality was influenced by his upbringing. As mentioned in the history section, he was the man of the house, so he took on that role and it became a dominant part of his personality. He's forever taking care of other people, attempting to shield them from harm, and he rarely gives that same attention to himself. It's turned him into quite a selfless person, always willing to be the one to make the sacrifice, and feeling vastly uncomfortable or even guilty when others make it for him.
However, it's also a double edged sword. Jack
needs other people in his life. He needs someone to make sacrifices for, someone to cling to, a relationship developed with his mother. He was always around her, and this was furthered with Sutton. He was always around her. He doesn't do well by his own, struggling to find a point, struggling to find something to live for. He has to have someone else there to exist for, in order to have that purpose within his own life. Furthermore, he's a bit of a drama queen. When even minor setbacks occur, Jack makes a big deal out of them, and can quickly start to "throw a fit." He cares so much about other people and ensuring their safety that when things go wrong, it feels like a bigger deal than it actually is.
Habits: Shaking his head when other people are talking, rolling his eyes, using his obnoxious New England/Boston accent
Hobbies: Playing pool, shooting at the range, going on historical tours (often with his mother)

Your First Walker Encounter: For his thirtieth birthday, his mother came all the way from Boylston to visit him in Chicago. Jack was beyond excited, and hoped that he'd be able to introduce her to his new girlfriend, a sweet girl named Sutton. He went to the airport and sat in his car, waiting for his mother to arrive in the cell phone pick-up lot. Instead of meeting his mother, he met her walking corpse. Terrified and scared out of his mind, Jack quickly drove off and left the city as fast as he could, searching for some sort of safe haven. To this day, Jack still tries to convince himself that his mother wasn't the walker he met, that she was safe and sound somewhere else in the world. He knows, however, it isn't true.
History Before Outbreak: Jack was born in Boylston to a single mother. She tried her best to support him, and he ended up being the man of the house. He took care of his mother and she took care of him. He had a few older siblings, but they all lived with their father, due to the divorce. Jack, consequently, was all his mother had. To support him, she worked as a tour guide for the Freedom Trail in Boston, and went to night school in order to receive her GED. From an early age, Jack learned the importance of hard work.
Growing older, Jack would refuse visitation with his father. Instead, he'd go with his mother to Fenway Park, and watch the games. He was (and is) a complete mama's boy. When the school day would end, he'd take the T over to Fanueil Hall, and bring her something cool to drink, as the period garb she wore didn't make the Boston heat very easy. Her work caused Jack to love history, and grew patriotic from it. He soon knew everything there was to know about the Revolutionary War, but more importantly, he learned the value and impact of what his mother called "the regular dead people." He was taught that it was the small people who made an impact, the ones that aren't talked about in history books. With his already hard working and caring nature, this lesson motivated Jack to become a police officer, and make a difference.
He graduated high school, and with his diploma, applied to be a police officer. He passed the physical exams easily, struggling a bit with the knowledge portions. His mother had earned her GED, as well as a masters in history, by this point. She began teaching at Boston College, and helped Jack study for the examination. With her help, he passed with flying colors. He worked in the Boston Police Department until he was 27, and at that point, he was transferred to the Chicago PD in order to help fulfill a shortage. Despite trying to fight it and stay closer to his mother, he ended up moving anyways.
It was in Chicago that Jack began to have some serious relationships. He began to break out of his mama's boy rut, and learned the live life on his own. He'd call his mother everyday when he came home from work, but he also let himself have fun and get to know people. By the time he was 29, he was offered a promotion to work in Vice. Glad to be done with the normal traffic duties and other random jobs they'd give him, Jack worked Vice up until the Outbreak happened.
History Since Outbreak: After leaving Chicago, Jack called Sutton, and attempted to get her to come with him. They agreed to meet in Springfield, with Sutton already seeing the Walkers on the news. They met up with some friends of Sutton's -- army veterans -- who had a panic bunker. There, Jack and Sutton lived with five army veterans with massive PTSD underground for roughly a year. The supplies began to run out at that point, and tensions were high, as no one had access to their medications or therapy.
Needless to say, things got a little violent and hostile. Sutton and Jack left the little bunker in the dead of night, and hotwired Jack's old car, as he had long since lost the keys. The pair of them moved from town to town, using the very small skills they had learned in the bunker. The veterans had told them the theory behind surviving beyond its walls--and now, they had to put it into practice. Their first attempt at water purification left both of them incredibly sick, narrowly escaping death by a pair of walkers. Sutton managed to put them down, while Jack was passed out in the back seat of the car. They continued to drive, uncertain as to where they were going, and hoping they'd find some sort of safety.
After learning to work together as a team and surviving for about two years, Sutton and Jack had found themselves in Kansas. They raided the small, abandoned town they found for whatever supplies they could, including just enough to refill the now beaten up and hardly working car with gas. The town appeared to be safe, and in a wish to return to something near normalcy, Sutton and Jack spent the night in one of the houses, even knowing how dangerous it was. During the night, the humans that had made the town their home came, angered and furious at the lovers using their supplies and resources. Sutton was awake when she saw them come into town, and she went out to meet them alone, knowing that they had no knowledge that Jack was there as well.
Jack woke up alone, with shouting and jeering in the distance. From the window, he could see Sutton vanish inside a large mob, with guns and knives and all sorts of horrible things aimed at her. He never saw her again, and instead quickly escaped, taking their meager supplies with him. Now on foot, he found the world to be a much more dangerous place. He couldn't switch watches with Sutton, and he only had himself to talk to. By some miracle, he managed to survive that final year, despite endless close calls and an ever dwindling supply of bullets for his gun.
Eventually, Jack found himself in Georgia, hearing rumors of a safe haven. Without anything better than an old, dirty, and torn up map, he stumbled his way around Georgia, searching for the mythical place.

Why: During his work as a police officer in Chicago, Jack was often sent as back-up before he worked Vice. Sometimes, the criminals would threaten him or his fellow officers. He did what protocol said to do. He did his duty.
