bio
• • As an only child, Jackson captivated the attention of his parents. He was born into a wealthy family and dotted on accordingly.
• • He grew up in the city. The lavish condo building had been plopped down right in the heart of la which allowed him to experience new adventures and people within a block of walking distance. It was the close proximity that gave him the exposure that frequently got him in trouble. He often found himself getting mixed in with people that his parents would feverishly dub as "the wrong crowd." Jackson was attracted to their sense of freedom and snuck out often to obtain the same level of freedom other young kids had. • • After getting caught sneaking out one too many times his parents sent him off to a boarding school to finish his schooling. He stayed the summers in the city and spent his school years in a private boarding school in Connecticut. • • Jackson returned to LA once he received his high school diploma, and ended up enrolling in UCLA with a lack of direction. It was upon his return that he learned of a friend's passing from a drug overdose. The drug itself ended up being laced with hidden chemicals as a means of revenge from a jealous man who lost a woman to him. Enraged by the news Jackson ended up luring the drug dealer out of hiding, with the help of a group of friends, and they beat the man nearly to death. It was that loss of control that Jackson realized he could hone that energy into doing something better. He enrolled in the police academy the following week. • • Once Jackson obtained a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and had nearly four years of law enforcement experience he applied to be a member of the s.w.a.t. team. He was freshly recruited last year. • • Slowly but surely the tight restrictions of the poliice force began to feel like the constricting grip his parents had. Jackson started to crave that freedom he remembered others having. He began to feel jealous of the freedom low life criminals carried. As a result he started dabbling in petty crime and drug trafficking. Both as a means to control it and for a rush of power. Slowly but surely he began a dirty cop. lines |
