Jack secretly uses a mysterious high-tech device hidden and embedded in his left hand on the job to solve crime, He has done this covertly for some time. Jack has revealed some of his abilities only to his partner and love interest, detective, Rose Yancey. However he has yet to reveal even to her the full extent of what he can do and price he pays for the powers the device grants him. Most notably, Jack is often inhabited and sometimes fully transformed into Zade, a high-tech assassin who has been targeting black market weapons dealers that have been involved with engineering or trafficking devices similar to the one Jack possesses. How the device came into Jack’s possession is yet unknown.
