The surname comes up very rarely, as he's forgotten it and almost no one knows it. He has also been known as Tobiah and Jonas. Long, lean, and toned, he is not quite so tall as those who knew him remember him, having paid a significant amount of money to a few less than savoury characters to have his height reduced - and, after the face alterations, he is virtually unrecognisable by features alone. More attractive than he used to be, and at the same time less noticeable, not standing out so much any more. His mannerisms are similar, though he has become slightly less taciturn, and his vocabulary has improved greatly in the last few years. He is unlikely to share personal information, having grown accustomed to dodging Crats, and will rarely offer his true name in introduction unless he feels relatively safe.

Brief Background
Very few people know much about Jack's history. Those few who are close to him are aware that he spent the majority of his childhood in self-imposed isolation, and that his thought process uses few to no words. He is now capable of making complete sentences, though he often doesn't bother and comes across as somewhat unfriendly. He is more vocal when he is alone with his best friend, Lindar. Their relationship is the subject of some confusion, and there is question as to whether there is romance involved, though Jack has repeatedly insisted to anywhone who brings it up that he does not feel 'that way' about her, and lesser known (in fact, never mentioned at all) are his feelings for an unnamed person in his past.

He has a history of drug abuse, alcoholism, and a habit of running away from dangerous situations. Those close to him are familiar with his strange reaction to music, and the often unexpected ways in which he processes emotion. He strikes most people as dark and brooding, slow to smile and wary of eye contact. He carries himself with an obvious masculine grace, quick and nimble in all of his movements. He is most often seen in baggy black cargo pants, a wifebeater in white, black, or dark grey, and scuffed black workboots, ocassionally topped off with an olive green army surplus jacket, always augmented by the tanuki mask he has been wearing in recent times. In his pockets are always found: a pack of cigarettes, a cheap plastic lighter, his ever-present media player, his wallet, and a few loose bills for quick transactions. He usually carries a 2' straight-blade knife in a sheath at his right side, though he often keeps it concealed under his jacket.
