Jaco

"They all crack sooner or later."

- Jaco to Sarge

Jaco was a mercenary and member of Sarge's Squad.

Living with Seven Brothers
"Look, my planet was like yours once. Beautiful. Smaller moons, bigger sun. A place to live a life." "Family?" "A big one. All boys. Eight of us. My youngest brother though, we were always together."

- Jaco and Yo-Yo Rodriguez

Growing up on his homeworld, Jaco had seven brothers who were all bigger than him, with Jaco being the clear runt of the litter. Jaco had always a closer relationship with his youngest brother, who was much bigger than him, as Jaco taught him to become a baker and join the family business. However, as the Shrikes had invaded his home world, Jaco lost everyone in his family, only to be saved by Sarge. With his family gone, Jaco had joined Sarge's Squad and traveled the universe in order to find and destroy the Shrikes wherever they could find them before they could destroy other planets like his. During their hunt for Izel, Jaco and their Squad traveled to Chronyca-2, but they were too late and witnessed the destruction of the planet, before they escaped and had continued the hunt.

Tinker's Bad Crossing
"Didn't know if you'd get through." "You want to drop the blaster?" "Safety first."

- Jaco and Pax

The squad's next destination in hunting Izel and the Shrike was Earth. Sarge's crew separated into three teams, as Jaco and Tinker teamed up and traveled through a portal. Jaco went through the portal first, which was opened through a concrete wall as he found a group of young people playing basketball nearby. As Jaco painfully pushed himself through the portal, the kids ran in fear as Tim fell to the floor, looking up in terror at Jaco before fleeing for his life. Before Jaco could threaten the kids, he was distracted when he heard Tinker calling out for his assistance. However, as Jaco attempted to pull Tinker through the gateway, he was unable to do it in time and the gateway closed around Tinker, fusing his body with the concrete and killing him, since half his body failed to make it through. Seeing his comrade die, Jaco closed his eyes and softly patted Tinker's hand, thus showing him respect before preparing to continue with the mission. However, Jaco was stopped once the Quinjet had flown above him and a voice had then ordered him to surrender himself. Having already lost his teammate and upon hearing Melinda May threaten to open fire on him if he did not surrender, Jaco became frustrated as he did not move from his spot. Without saying a word, Jaco then spun around and fired his pulse rifle at the Quinjet, managing to completely destroy one of its engines in the process and had caused it to crash land. As May and Keller recovered in the crashed Quinjet, Jaco had then calmly walked away from the scene in order to regroup with the rest of his crew so they could continue with the current mission. Having arrived at the arranged meet up point, Jaco waited for several hours until Pax and Snowflake joined him, as Jaco noted that he had not been sure if they had made it through their own gateways. When Snowflake then questioned where Tinker was, Jaco was forced to explain that he had been killed during his crossing. While Snowflake claimed that Tinker had become a butterfly following his death, Pax questioned if Sarge's crossing would be clear, to which Jaco explained that since it was at the Museum of Natural History, it was not, so they all prepared to depart and then destroy the Museum.

Destroying the Museum
"Get out of here, kid." "Time to make some ripples."

- Jaco and Pax

Arriving at the Museum of Natural History, Jaco found himself being greeted by a young child holding a balloon. Jaco then ordered the child to leave, not wanting her to get needlessly harmed. Jaco was then joined by Pax and Snowflake as they then made their way inside the Museum in order to destroy it to open the passageway. While Jaco and the rest of their squad made their way inside of the museum as they had planned, they then overheard the sounds of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, led by Melinda May and Yo-Yo Rodriguez arriving at the scene to stop them. While Jaco and Pax focused on placing their explosives around the Museum, they asked Snowflake to distract the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents while they could continue their work. Pretending to be a distraught mother whose children were hostages, Snowflake managed to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. at bay while Jaco and Pax had then retreated, moments before their bombs went off and obliterated the museum. Once the museum was gone, Sarge's Truck was then able to burst through his portal, as the Squad regrouped with Sarge, who was then forced to kill Fox in order to save Snowflake as they departed the scene. Having successfully managed to bring Sarge to Earth, Jaco and the others then went about collecting supplies, as they went inside a nearby gas station and began taking what they wanted, with Pax holding Amit hostage as Jaco had tried a drink which gave him a headache before offering it to Sarge to try. Jaco then watched while Sarge checked out the kind of currency that Humans used before he took Amit's shotgun, which he noted used simple technology to fire, along with everything else that they wanted as the Squad walked out of the gas station together, preparing to continue their current mission.

Tensions in the Squad
"We send a trailblazer every time to clear a path." "It's supposed to be Jaco the Giant, okay? Who can survive a hail of war-hammers." "He's an old soul."

- Snowflake and Pax

As their Squad continued making their way through Ohio, Jaco was still trying to get his body used to Earth's atmosphere by sucking on gases. As the Truck had started to become filled with all of the gas, Pax began complaining about the smell, although Sarge had insisted that Jaco needed to do this since he had not had to smell his home atmosphere in years and they needed Jaco at full strength before they went ahead. When Sarge ordered Pax to ensure that their truck remained invisible, Pax insisted that this had been Tinker's job and therefore he should not have to do it after Tinker turned to stone, with Jaco insisting that Tinker had actually turned to cement during his crossing. Jaco then watched as Snowflake began going through all of Tinker's gear and confirmed that they were now all out of, explaining that Tinker had always kept more in his pockets. As tensions began to rise, Pax insisted that Tinker's bad crossing was not on him, as Sarge had then questioned if he had something more to say about this. Jaco and Snowflake then watched on as Pax insisted that they all should have been transported to Earth while riding in the truck, as Sarge had noted that if they had they would have been trapped in the Museum of Natural History. Although Snowflake claimed that they always sent somebody to check ahead, Pax had noted that this had always been Jaco who was almost indestructible, but Snowflake then insisted that Jaco was really an old soul, making him smile. As Jaco watched, Pax continued to complain about Snowflake getting Fox killed, as he insisted that he did not want to waste time hunting for more PEGs. While Pax continued to disrespect Sarge and the rest of their Squad, Jaco rose to his feet and stepped over to him, causing Pax to go silent out of fear that Jaco may assault him. Without saying another word, Jaco had then pushed a piece of paper at Pax's chest, which showed an advertisement about Charmont Jewelers, which was where they had believed that they could find the PEGs that they needed. Sarge then confirmed that he would send Jaco and Snowflake to scout the site while he and Pax secured the exit, which Pax nervously agreed to as Jaco watched on, ready to step in if Pax had stepped out of line. While Jaco got everything in their truck ready for the robbery, he was approached by Sarge who ordered him to keep a close eye on Pax, noting that he was beginning to sound a lot like Tinker, as Jaco had noted that everybody cracked mentally eventually. Sarge then noted that it might not be a bad idea for them to begin looking for someone who could replace Pax in their team, much to Jaco's surprise. Jaco and Sarge were then joined by Snowflake, who handed Sarge a gun which would only need some PEGs to work correctly, as Sarge gave his crew their orders before they departed to begin the robbery.

Jewellery Store Robbery
"I'm talking about PEGs. You know, PEGs. Help me, Jaco." "Piezoelectric gems. Crystals that are naturally polarized and can generate electric charge under applied mechanical pressure."

- Sarge and Jaco

As the robbery went ahead, Jaco remained in the Truck until a portal was opened up between the truck and Charmont Jewelers' vault, as Jaco stepped through the portal with a big smile on his face. Jaco then began assisting the Squad with searching through everything in the vault to find their, but found nothing but shiny diamonds which were useless. As they expressed their frustration at the situation, S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived on the scene and began attempting to break into the vault. With little time remaining, Sarge turned to Dana and then questioned where they could find the PEGS, as Jaco explained what they were talking about as Dana appeared to be confused by the name PEGS. Hearing Jaco's explanation, Dana had realized that the Squad were talking about Crystals, and pointed out where they had some in one of the drawers, as Pax found them and handed them to Jaco, while Sarge departed through the portal to test the Crystals in his gun. As Sarge tested the gun, Jaco remained in the vault, with Pax telling him to take everything that was there since on Earth it was all worth something. However, just as Jaco was finishing their robbery, he overheard Pax calling out for help and went back through the portal in investigate, as Snowflake promised to finish up in the vault and requested that Jaco wait for her to rejoin him before he killed whoever had attacked Pax and interrupted their robbery. Jaco then stepped back onto the Truck, where he found Melinda May, who had managed to knock Pax unconscious. Jaco and May then faced each other down, while May readied herself to battle the massive Jaco. Once Jaco began fighting against May, she attempted to use Jaco's massive size and superior strength against him, as she avoided his heavy strikes while landing several counter moves, proving herself to be considerably faster than Jaco. Although Jaco struggled to keep up with May's fighting skills, he eventually managed to grab ahold of her, before furiously throwing her against the wall of their truck with considerable force. However, May soon recovered and managed to momentarily distract Jaco, before striking him in the head with a steel pole, knocking him unconscious while she went to Dana's aid. Jaco had soon recovered, and returned to the fight just as May had managed to free Dana from Snowflake before helping her to escape. Seeing this, Jaco then kicked May across the truck with considerable force, leaving her struggling to breath while Jaco then put the portal back against the wall after May had knocked it over, which allowed Snowflake to walk through it and join Jaco in fighting May. Once May got back onto her feet and readied herself for the fight, Snowflake charged forward and began furiously slashing at her with her knives, while Jaco attempted to take her down with his mighty punch. However, May still proved herself to be a superior warrior, managing to hold her own against both Jaco and Snowflake, using any weapon she could get her hands on to strike back at the mercenaries, hitting Jaco in the crotch and head to knock him back. May also managed to disarm Snowflake, using her knives to cut at Jaco's legs, before kicking Snowflake back through the portal. Despite Jaco rejoining the fight, May had used several hits to Jaco's head and body to take him down once again, but before she could land the final blow and finish the fight, Sarge returned into the truck which had distracted May. While Jaco dropped to his knees, May looked at Sarge with great shock, as she referred to him by the name "Coulson". However, before another fight could ensue, Snowflake sneaked back onto their truck and pushed May through their portal before closing it, trapping May back at the vault. Once the squad then made their escape, Jaco commented to Sarge that he had frozen during the confrontation with May, noting that the name Coulson had caused this. Jaco questioned what the name of Coulson meant, to which Sarge claimed that he did not know, although he admitted that it seemed familiar to him. Having used all of the Crystals that they had stolen from Charmont Jewelers, the crew were able to power up their guns, as Jaco joined Sarge in stepping back outside to test whether or not they had been successful. Looking up, Jaco noted that Earth had some nice stars, although Sarge insisted he had seen better ones throughout the universe. As Sarge fired a blast of energy into the skies, Jaco questioned how many targets there would be, as he looked on his scanner and found multiple targets all across the United States of America, before Sarge then told him to go make a mess as they departed together.

Assassination of Harold Simcoe
"That's our mark."

- Jaco to Pax

Having begun tracking the targets, Jaco teamed up with Pax as they had gone after Harold Simcoe in Reno. Following the signal that was being given out, they had eventually tracked down Simcoe as he was attempting to board a bus and go to South Sioux City, as Jaco had confirmed that Simcoe was their mark while Pax armed himself with his laser gun. However, Simcoe saw Jaco and Pax watching him, as he turned around and made a desperate attempt to escape while Jaco and Pax followed closely after him. However, this proved to be part of their plan as Jaco and Pax forced Simcoe to run straight into an alleyway where Snowflake managed to corner him before Sarge stepped out and pinned Simcoe against the wall, noting that they had been looking all over for him. Jaco and Pax then watched on as Sarge drew a blade and stabbed Simcoe in the chest, killing the winged creature hidden inside his chest and causing crystals to shoot out of Simcoe's body, as Snowflake noted that he was no longer a butterfly. Once Simcoe was dead, Sarge then turned to Jaco as he questioned who their next target was going to be.

Attack on Deke Shaw
"Tracker says he's not from this world, but his signature's different from the others." "That's strange." "If you consider the infinite complexity of nature, maybe "strange" is the norm."

- Jaco and Sarge

Jaco chose their Squad's next target to be Deke Shaw, as they then headed into his workplace to kill him. Jaco remained outside Shaw's office as Sarge went to confront him, only for Shaw to mistake Sarge for "Coulson" as he began a conversation. However, once Shaw had realized his mistake by asking misleading questions and confirming that Sarge did not have the Prosthetic Hand, he attempted to escape, as he accidentally ran into Jaco who knocked him down. While Shaw attempted to escape, Ray had attempted to defend him, only for Pax to shoot Ray dead as Shaw was desperately running for his life. While Shaw was running, being cornered by Snowflake along the way, Jaco regrouped with Sarge and Pax, as he noted that Shaw was not from this world, although he had noted that there was something different about his signature. When Sarge commented that this was strange, Jaco instead claimed that strange could be the new normal. However, Sarge insisted that they focus on the job, noting that Shaw was both a target and a talker, as they left to hunt him down. Jaco eventually had managed to track down Shaw as he was being protected by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had just managed to take down Pax. As they saw him coming, Shaw attempted to shoot Jaco with an I.C.E.R., only to realize that he had used up all of his rounds shooting Pax. While Shaw had then ordered Trevor Khan to focus on protecting Sequoia, he and Alphonso Mackenzie attempted to run, with Shaw insisting that he had a plan. Jaco then aimed his rifle at Shaw and began firing, while Shaw and Mackenzie ducked for cover and ran through the corridors, with Jaco following closely behind. While Jaco continued hunting down Shaw and Mackenzie, he found himself being led into another room where he was suddenly blinded by a bright light. Jaco had then found himself in the digital world of Shaw's Remorath Rumble, as Jaco looked around with considerable confusion before then being confronted by Daisy Johnson, who then proceeded to slap Jaco across the face before romantically hugging him. With Jaco's mind locked into the game world, his actual self lay unconscious onto the floor, allowing Shaw and Mackenzie to take him and Pax captive, while Jaco was left trying to understand what was happening.

Captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.
"All gone. Fertilizer. Except for me, thanks to Sarge." "Let us get you some kind of medicine to help you breathe." "Depends. Are you gonna release him?" "Definitely not." "Then I don't want anything from you."

- Jaco and Yo-Yo Rodriguez

Jaco and Pax were taken to the Lighthouse and questioned by Yo-Yo Rodriguez on what their plan was. However, the only information that Rodriguez was able to get from Pax was that they named their boss Sarge, while Jaco had still continued to not say a word. During this time locked in the Lighthouse, Jaco's breath began to heat up due to a lack of his own oxygen, as he continued to refuse medical aid since it was part of their escape plan. Eventually, Jaco was visited by Rodriguez who had commented on Jaco's bad cough, noting that he was not like that when he had arrived. Rodriguez informed Jaco that Sarge had also been captured and was now locked in the Lighthouse along with Snowflake, which had finally caused Jaco to speak as he insisted that they needed to allow Sarge to walk free, although Rodriguez still claimed that Sarge would only cause more pain if he was free. Sitting up, Jaco told Rodriguez about his planet, noting how it had been similar to the Earth although it had a smaller moon and a bigger sun. Jaco went on to talk about his own family, commenting on how he had grown up with his seven brothers who were bigger than him, calling himself the runt of their litter. As Jaco then noted how he was closest to his youngest brother and trained him, Rodriguez questioned if he meant he trained him to be a fighter, to which Jaco noted that he trained him to be a baker, noting that this had been their family business. Jaco then explained that his entire family were now gone, noting that he was only alive thanks to Sarge. As Jaco had still continued to cough, Rodriguez offered to get him medical aid to help him with his breathing, but as she confirmed that S.H.I.E.L.D. would still not allow Sarge to walk free, Jaco refused any medical aid and rolled over in bed, as Rodriguez walked out.

Failed Escape Attempt
"Glad I could be useful. I guess we know why he didn't want our help. He wasn't sick." "He was turning into a dragon." "Yeah. And the Sarge's ticket out of here."

- Alphonso Mackenzie and Quake

Jaco continued to rest in his cell inside the Lighthouse, as his breath had still continued to heat up in his body. Eventually, Jaco had been visited by Trevor Khan, who informed him that two of the Shrike had been successfully captured and were being transported to the Lighthouse. However, Khan had noticed that Jaco appeared to not be breathing, as he immediately called for a medical team. Just as Khan did this, Jaco breathed out some steam, before opening his eyes and getting to his feet, as Khan backed away, unsure of his intention. As Khan had backed up out of fear, Jaco did not say a word while he instead calmly walked over to the door to his room, before taking in a breath and exhaling flames from his mouth, as Khan managed to dive for cover as Jaco continued breathing fire from his mouth. Khan had then called Alphonso Mackenzie and demanded that they cancel the medical team and come save him, explaining how Jaco was currently breathing fire. Jaco continued burning down the steel door, with his goal being to free himself, and the rest of Sarge's Squad so that they could take over S.H.I.E.L.D. and continue their hunt for the Shrike. However, just as Jaco had almost melted the door down, the escape attempt was interrupted by the arrival of Quake, who then used her Inhuman power to knock down the door, sending it flying into Jaco's face. As Jaco recovered and attempted to burn down Quake in order to continue his mission to free Snowflake and Pax, Quake responded by using a powerful shockwave to knock Jaco backwards, as he was knocked unconscious by the force of the shockwave, as Mackenzie used a fire extinguisher to put out all the flames coming from Jaco's mouth as they noted that this was why he refused medical aid.

Second Escape Attempt
"There's a plan. It's a little different now that we're on a plane, but it should still work. What's wrong?" "Sarge never lets me in on the plans." "Because you're not good at secrets." "I'm excellent at secrets. I didn't tell anybody about the you-know-what that Sarge is gonna use on what's-her-name."

- Jaco and Pax

In order to keep Jaco from breathing fire again, S.H.I.E.L.D. gave him his oxygen to breath and kept him in the Containment Module. While Jaco was in the Module with his supply of oxygen, he had then been moved into Zephyr One along with Pax. Jaco watched on as Pax continued to complain to Phelps about why Jaco had been given a comfortable room while he was chained to the wall. They were then joined by Alphonso Mackenzie who explained that they would be following Sarge on the plane.

This news that they would follow Sarge had made both Jaco and Pax highly nervous as they knew that they would be flying straight into an explosion that he intended to cause. Once they were alone, Jaco had watched while Pax walked up and down the plane, complaining that they should be safe inside the Lighthouse and instead were flying to the heart of the storm, claiming that Sarge had simply sold them out and had left them both to die while Jaco told him to calm down. Just as Pax then claimed that Jaco knew of what was down there, Yo-Yo Rodriguez arrived and questioned what Pax was talking about.

Rodriguez then insisted that S.H.I.E.L.D. could help if they knew what it was that they would all be going up against, while also questioning how Jaco was feeling now that he had been given his oxygen back. Pax demanded that they turn Zephyr One around, as Rodriguez then questioned if Pax was scared of Izel, which instantly made Pax shut up, claiming that they were not actually scared of her. As Rodriguez claimed that Izel was a demon, Jaco had noted that they all had their demons, but Izel was one that they could actually kill if they caught it, like they had all failed to do on Chronyca-2 before the planet died.

With Phelps guarding them, Jaco watched as Pax became bored and had charged at his guard, who drew his gun and demanded that Pax sit back down, as Pax complained that he could not simply sit down as long as he knew that they were all going to die, although Jaco had insisted that there was still a plan, and so Pax needed to calm down. Annoyed about not being included into this plan, Pax threatened that he would cut Jaco open and eat his way out, while Jaco simply rolled his eyes at his threat. Pax then claimed that he would instead give up information about Sarge, as Jaco had told him not to be an idiot.

Jaco watched as Pax told Phelps that Sarge had not been honest as he demanded that they turn the plane back if he told them the truth. However, just as Phelps dropped his guard, Pax revealed that he had been holding back the chain, allowing him to grab Phelps and break his neck, as he and Jaco began laughing. Once he freed himself from his chains, Pax freed Jaco from the Containment Module, while Jaco removed his jacket and threatened Pax over his earlier threat, before laughing and explaining how he and Sarge did have a plan, although it had become different now that they were onboard the Zephyr.

As Pax complained that Sarge never included him on the plans, Jaco had simply explained that this was because Pax was bad at keeping secrets, while he had argued that he had not told S.H.I.E.L.D. about Sarge's plan to use a massive bomb to kill Izel, although Jaco noted that he almost did. As Pax had complained that they were still flying towards the explosion, Jaco once again told him to relax, explaining that they would take over Zephyr One. Just as Pax questioned how they were supposed to do all that, Rodriguez then returned and had demanded that Jaco get back inside the Containment Module.

Believing that together they could easily defeat Rodriguez, Pax then confidently mocked her, before she used her Inhuman powers to then knock Pax down to the ground and tie him up with the chain in a split second. Having witnessed Rodriguez's true power, Jaco prepared to fight her, only for Rodriguez to charge at him at incredible speeds, as she struck him with her Prosthetic Arms, which knocked him back as Rodriguez commented on his massive size. Rodriguez then hit Jaco again, pushing him back inside the Containment Module and locking the door, noting Phelps' death meant they would never be let go.

Jaco could then only look on as Pax, desperate not to die, informed Rodriguez about how Sarge kept a bomb on his Truck which he had intended to then detonate and destroy Izel, along with a massive part of the Earth. As Rodriguez had informed Mackenzie the news, Jaco told Pax to move away from his jacket, revealing it had been painted for Sarge's teleporter. They then watched as Sarge used this to enter the Zephyr and kill their guard, before Jaco explained that they were no longer in the Lighthouse, but on the plane, although Sarge simply claimed that it was better, before then laughing at Pax in chains.

- Jaco and Sarge

Despite being the "muscle" of the group, Jaco has shown considerable intelligence, tactical awareness and technical expertise. He appears to be, like his crewmates Sarge and Pax and in contrast to Snowflake, not interested in unnecessary death and killing, as he told to the little girl he saw in the front of the Museum to go, even though it was in a very blunt manner, because her death was not necessary at all.
