Jack

"We're not perfect, nobody is. But that's okay. Because we can all be heroes"

- Jack

Sir Jack Fox, VC, GC, DSO, RVO, CGC (born 1 August 1958) is the leader and founder of the White Wolves, long-term president of the United Nations Security Council, United Nations Representative and former British Army infantry soldier, Royal Marines commando and colour sergeant and Special Boat Service officer. He is also a pilot, sailor, spy, tactical advisor, survivalist and survival advisor, medic, mixed martial artist and philanthropist.

Hailed as a hero by some, and branded as a killer by others, public opinion on Jack has been schismatic for many years. Nevertheless, he is a highly decorated soldier with fifty years of military experience under his belt. Jack has earned the reputation of a world-renowned leader and soldier, leading one of the world's most powerful and technologically advanced militaries. As a result, Jack and his fighting force have been trusted with the toughest challenges around the world.

Birth
Jack was born in Manchester on August 1, 1958, as the son of Abigail Stark, a registered nurse, and Charles, a police officer with the Manchester and Salford Police. His father was half Scottish, half English and his mother was half Welsh, half English. Jack's birth surname is still unknown, though it is known that he didn't take his mother's surname. Some claim that his original name began with E.

Early Life
Jack was a quiet child, but did relatively well in school. He was known for keeping to himself, and as a result had few friends, if any. Teachers often saw him alone, throughout class, dinnertimes and outside. His favourite subjects were science and maths, which he was rather good at, attaining high grades in Chemistry especially.

In 1969, Jack's chemistry teacher, Kerry Tomlinson, managed to break him out of his shell somewhat. He began to like and respect her, as she would spend time helping him to accelerate his learning.

Jack was also interested in the burgeoning world of computing, but due to the exclusivity and cost of the equipment, his interest would go dormant until 1980.

Losing Everything
On the 5th November 1970, a rainy Thursday, a masked man broke into Jack's family home, subsequently killing his father, then his mother. The killer didn't notice Jack in the corner, and quickly fled.

Later that night, the fireworks went off for Guy Fawkes' Night, this caused Jack to suffer from PTSD for many years after the event, with nightmares still occurring to this day.

As a whole, this event is seem by some to be the first domino in the events that led to where Jack stands today, and that the traumatic sight "clicked a switch" in Jack, causing him to snap.

Joining the Army
After fleeing from his house, Jack had nowhere to go, he had no friends or family that could help him, so in his confusion he ran to the local Army recruitment centre. Upon Jack's exit from his home, and rapid departure from school, his old Chemistry teacher, was one of few people to even notice

He stood outside the building for half an hour, planning his story, he had no money, qualifications or work experience, but he also knew the army would be looking for people to deploy into Northern Ireland as soon as possible.

Shakily, he stepped into the recruitment centre and applied for any infantry job going. Through some clever lies and manipulation, Jack convinced the recruiter that he was 16, had no surname and failed at school, but was ready to fight for his country.

At 12 years old, Jack was accepted into the British Army and sent north to Weeton Barracks, Lancashire. Unfortunately, the Lancashire Fusiliers had ceased to exist two years prior, so he was assigned to 42 (North West) Brigade. There, he completed his basic training and was sent on active deployment.

Vengeance
In 1971, after four months in the military, Jack was allowed to go off-site. He smuggled his sidearm out of the barracks, and returned to Manchester. Using newspaper articles and phone books, Jack discovered the whereabouts of his parents' killer.

He wasted no time in making his way to the home of the killer, breaking in, much how he did two years prior, and shot the killer with every round in the handguns magazine. Jack didn't know who he had just shot dead, but he did know he had avenged his parents. This was Jack's first kill, at age 12.

He calmly walked out of the house, and to the nearest bus stop. Concealing his gun, he caught a bus and returned to his barracks.

Royal Marines
Jack's exemplary service in the Army prompted a rather quick promotion into the Royal Marines, a branch of the Royal Navy. Jack accepted his offer with open arms, quickly being sent to RM Condor, Scotland

Living in Scotland helped Jack to relax after the incidents in England, he began to like the country, for its people and natural beauty. When not on active deployment, Jack would often leave the barracks and visit the countryside to the North. He would later remark that Scotland was his favourite country.

The Troubles
Much of the time Jack spent in service with the Royal Marines was in Northern Ireland, dealing with the Troubles. Jack was stationed in Belfast, where he began to build something of a bad reputation with the local civilians.

Many Irish people of the time held a hatred for the British, and same of it was reciprocated. Jack was neutral when he was first deployed to Northern Ireland, however, over time, he began to build a disliking for them, particularly their views and actions to the United Kingdom. Because of this mutual hatred, Jack often butted heads with civilians, with fist fights becoming the norm for him. Despite being just 14, he handled himself very well, and won every fight he was involved in.

After Jack continued to fight Irish civilians, the Military Police stood in and took him in for a discussion regarding his behaviour. They explained that a British soldier fighting Irish nationals in the midst of an ethno-nationalist conflict was only going to worsen the tensions that already existed between England and Ireland. Despite this, the MP officer did understand that Jack was fighting to protect his honour and that of his country. The officer went on to explain that they couldn't just court-martial or remove Jack from the AO, since his reputation within the military was already very impressive. Jack agreed to limit his interactions with civilians, and stick to patrol routes and official mission duties.

Through all of the conflict, Jack did manage to meet someone friendly, a 16 year old girl called Lucy Byrne. Technically, Jack was prohibited from befriending civilians while in service, but he ignored that rule and made friends with the girl regardless.

Colour Sergeant
In 1974, Jack's unit was withdrawn from Northern Ireland and he was promoted to Colour Sergeant. Later that year, Jack acquired his driving licence and first car, a 1970 Ford Cortina TC Mark III. The car, which he still owns today, lived with Jack at the Royal Marines base, and later in Poole while he was in the SBS.

At the young age of 16, Jack was placed in charge of 25 Commandos, whom he lead into combat in Cyprus following the Turkish Invasion. Jack found that leadership suited him quite well.

The Paramilitary for Peace Initiative
In August 1975, the United Nations announced their "Paramilitary for Peace Initiative", a grant fund which was intended to help kick start an extra-national military force, which could aid the United Nations Security Council, by giving them a more dedicated fighting force.

Later that month, Jack put in his application, which featured his plans, his service history and commendations from his former superior officers, however, he lied about his age, claiming to be 22, not 17.

Special Boat Service
In October 1975, Jack moved to the Special Boat Service, then called the Special Boat Squadron, in RM Poole, as an officer. His command was the A Squadron, the best the Service had to offer. At 17, he was six years younger than his most junior serviceman.

Securing the Grant
In December 1975, Jack was informed that he had won the United Nations Paramilitary for Peace Initiative competition, as a result, he quickly departed from Poole to Geneva to speak with the United Nations Security Council and their president at the time, Ivor Richard. He discussed his plans in greater detail, including his intentions, ideals and plans for the future. He had already settled on the location, logo, mission and a name, the White Wolves.

While formalities were still being settled, Jack returned to the SBS, where he continued to serve as Officer of A Squadron up until 1979, when he moved to Russia.

Russia
In preparation for the White Wolves to be formally established, Jack moved to Russia. Departing from Manchester Airport on 25th June 1979, Jack flew to Khabarovsk Novy Airport, Russia. Upon landing, Jack caught a train from Krasnoyarsk-Passenger, destined for Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai.

While on this 2000-mile train journey, Jack met Varyana Smirnov, a Russian woman who was travelling back to Kamchatka, following a visit to her family in South of Russia. Over the expansive rail trip, the two became friends, with Varyana teaching Jack more Russian and informing him of the things to do in Petropavlovsk. In return, Jack shared stories of his time in the British armed forces.

When the pair finally arrived in the city, they temporarily split up as Varyana went off to her home, and Jack searched for his accommodation. In return for this military service, the Home Office had agreed to pay Jack's way in the Russian city for up to thirteen months. When Jack found his new home, just 12 miles from the railway station, he changed his clothes, then left and made a bee line for the nearest bar, The Brown Bear (бурый медведь), where he reconvened with his new Russian friend. The bar they visited got its name from the Kamchatka Brown Bear, a local animal.

While at the bar, Jack and Varyana continued their conversation, over bottle of Kamchatka Vodka, a local, cheap spirit. Unfortunately, the Home Office weren't going to pay for Jack to get plastered.

Diplomatic Protection
In May 1980, the Iranian Embassy in London was attacked by members of the DRFLA. Despite officially leaving the British armed forces, Jack was asked to support the London Metropolitan Police and the Special Air Service in their assault and rescue of hostages.

Jack agreed immediately, especially after hearing of the death of a hostage. However, due to Jack's remote location, the British government had to send a helicopter to collect him, this pick-up carried him to Heathrow Airport, where a waiting police vehicle took him to the embassy.

At first, Jack was only to be a tactical advisor and lend his experience and knowledge to the operation, but this changed when General Peter de la Billière asked for Jack to be a part of the assault with the SAS. Upon completion of the mission, Jack was returned to Kamchatka.

White Wolves
The White Wolves was officially formed on 1st August 1980.

Their name, chosen by Jack many years prior, comes from the neutrality and purity of white, and the power, speed and endurance of wolves, also, he liked the alliteration it created.

Luck of the Irish
10 years after his departure from Northern Ireland, Lucy Byrne decides to find where Jack ended up. She contacts the British Army who explain to her that the Jack she met is the same Jack who had recently established the White Wolves. The Army proceed to give her the phone number for White Wolves Enquiries.

When Lucy calls Motherbase, her call is redirected to Jack's field radio, where they chat about what's happened while they've been apart. Lucy had moved to Manchester, attended the University, and joined the newly formed Greater Manchester Police.

Soviet Hero
Following the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine, Soviet officials asked for Jack's technical help in the clean-up. He accepted to help, but agreed that the White Wolves would be kept away from the situation, in the interest of their safety.

Upon arrival at the plant, Jack noticed Varyana had also been drafted in to help. The two spent months of their lives in Ukraine, assisting with the operation. Despite long-term exposure to ionising radiation, Jack experienced no lasting health effects.

As medals were handed out by the Soviets to their liquidators, Jack denied any official Soviet medals or titles, wishing to not be associated with the Soviet Union. Instead, he accepted the liquidator medal, alongside Varyana.

Home Turf
In 1986, Jack returned to his home-town in Manchester and bought his family home from the bank, who had seized it following his parent's death and subsequent missed mortgage payments. After removing all of the family's possessions from the home, Jack had the White Wolves demolish the house and commenced the construction of the Charles and Abigail Stark Memorial.

In June 1999, Serena was captured by a splinter cell of the United States Marine Corps, after they had been spying on the Motherbase using AAI RQ-7 Shadow drones that they had stolen prior to splintering off of the USMC. When one drone was successfully shot down, the USMC markings were clear and IRIS was able to approximate the location it was being operated from.

After some ignited phone calls to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Charles C. Krulak, the White Wolves ascertained that it was not the true USMC who had taken Serena, but were told of overheard talks about a company planning some form of mutiny.

Jack ordered an immediate deployment from the base via helicopter to the origins of the drone's commands. Jack went alone, taking just his signature handgun, a portable shield and plenty of ammunition. He had no idea what kind of resistance he would be met with, but his mind was set on saving his wife.

Old School
In late 1999, Jack used IRIS to find where his old science teacher, Mrs. Tomlinson, was. He found she lived at an assisted living facility in Prestwich. Jack decided to pay her a visit, hoping she would still recognise him. When he arrived there, his old teacher was visibly confused, as she had assumed Jack had died in the 70's.

Jack gave her a synopsis of everything that had happened, omitting the events of dubious legality. She had no idea that the Jack she saw in the news was the same Jack she last saw nearly 30 years ago. Jack finished by thanking her for what she did, as well as giving her a Palladium necklace, her favourite element.

Climbing Everest
In June 2000, Jack climbed Mount Everest in a solo operation, conducted to test himself and his physical and mental limits.

Fighting Style
Jack's fighting style is a self-made eclectic mixed martial art called Foxjutsu. The style, named in 1993, has been developed over the course of fifty years and borrows aspects from various other styles, both armed and unarmed. As of 1999 and 2013, a simpler version of Foxjutsu is taught to operators in the White Wolves and Territorial Police Force respectively.

Jack is also highly proficient in all kinds of firearms, ranging from handguns and rifles to launchers and shotguns. He is mostly self-trained, though the basics were covered by his commanders in the British Armed Forces. Despite his overall skills, Jack prefers to use handguns, citing the versatility, portability and conceal-ability as the main reasons.

Politics
While Jack attempts to stay out of political turbulence, he stills holds his own views. Jack describes himself as a left-winger, with an equal bias toward both libertarianism and authoritarianism. Since the age of 18, Jack has voted for, and supported, the Labour Party of the United Kingdom. Jack agrees with the death penalty for serious crimes, saying that it would be a "preventative measure to warn others from committing the same crimes".

Despite this, Jack lost most of any faith in the British Government from a young age. Past events such as Alan Turing's punishment for being homosexual, caused Jack to be extremely wary of all governments, not just his own. These past experiences have lead Jack to attempt to create an ideal home for the White Wolves. A home which allows personal liberties such as drinking, recreational drug use, sexuality, anti-censorship, free speech, etc.

Jack is also anti-monarchy, believing the idea of a Royal Family in the United Kingdom should be abolished and the country should become a republic. Over his seven years service with the British Armed Forces, he would often state openly that he fought, not for the crown or the monarch, but for the people, and especially those by his side. This view would continue into the 21st century, with the Territorial Police Force requiring their operators to pledge to the City of Manchester rather than to any monarch.

Furthermore, Jack is strongly anti-communist. Jack lived in Russia for over a year, while it was under the communist government, up to 26th December 1991. He hated the Soviet government which he had to live under while the White Wolves Motherbase was being built. This disdain for communist regimes continued into his future, with Jack butting heads with the Chinese and North Korean governments on many occasions. Jack, and his soldiers, have invaded communist countries multiple times in order to liberate forced labour and prison camps. His disregard for international laws and governments demands have lead to trouble for Jack, however, it cannot be denied that, morally, at least, the White Wolves had done the right thing.

Jack has spoke publicly about his dislike for 45th President Donald Trump, calling him "immature and not fit for the job". While Jack cannot vote in US elections, he did give Joe Biden his backing in the 2020 US Presidential Election, noting that he was "America's last hope for the foreseeable future" and that if change didn't happen for the United States, things would get messy, and the White Wolves would have to get involved, essentially predicting new wars.

Music
Jack loves music of the metal genre and it's sub-genres, and often has it playing while working, driving or flying. Having grown up during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Jack often listened to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, the former of which becoming his favourite band and the latter giving Jack two of his nicknames. His musical interests spanned more than just the United Kingdom however, as he also enjoys Sabaton, Metallica, Slipknot, Rammstein, BABYMETAL, Disturbed and Five Finger Death Punch among others.

His listening habits are not restricted to a single genre however, he also enjoys electronic music, such as The Prodigy and Knife Party, 80's icons such as the Bee Gees, Russian hardbass such as XS Project, soundtracks of movies and video games and many more.

Jack has proclaimed many times that everything he does, he does it to make his late parents proud. Until Serena came into his life in 1990, his parents were the only people in his life and meant everything to him. Jack attributes his determined and caring attitude to his father and his mother respectively, he says that his father taught him how to be strong and focused on goals, while his mother taught him that pride and accomplishment could come from helping others.

Jack is extremely selfless and brave, sometimes to a fault. Much preferring to put himself in danger than anybody else, he often gets himself into extreme danger.

Jack has three tattoos, he bears the Royal Marines' insignia across his upper back, the Royal Marines' dagger on his right arm, and the original White Wolves' insignia on his left arm, closest to his heart.

Some of Jack's superstitious and strongly religious enemies believe him to be genuinely invincible, as he is seemingly so hard to kill, so much so, that nearly all international assassins turn down a hit on him. Those foolish enough to take it never live long enough to see the money.

Jack is known to be quite informal and friendly despite his outward demeanour, though the informality is reserved only for the situations that warrant it. He holds politicians and royalty in rather low regard, often intentionally titles, such as Excellency and Majesty. The most well-known case of this is his name Bo-Jo for PM Boris Johnson which he uses casually. However, this behaviour is never used with fellow servicemen, who he holds with the upmost of honour and respect, including those in lower ranks than himself.

Jack holds an affinity for Casio wristwatches. Prior to the introduction of the IRIS Watch, Jack used the Casio G-Shock Mud Master GWG-1000-1A3ER. His first wristwatch was given to him by the British Army, an entry-level leather strap analogue watch. Shortly after founding the White Wolves, he wore the Casio G-Shock DW-5000C. While racing with the Photon Racing Team, Jack wears a Casio Edifice EF-539D-1A2V. In 2012, Jack, along with other White Wolves, helped to design and build a super-durable watch that could cope with military use.

Philanthropy
Jack has donated his time and money to various small companies and charities in order to help them grow and to spread the word.

Jack is a long-time advocate for anti-censorship and privacy, particularly online, and as such, donated £50,000 to the DuckDuckGo search engine and £2,500,000 to the Tor Project.

Since Jack has served in the armed forces for over 50 years, he has seen nearly all there is to see on the battlefield, and is committed to supporting other veterans, especially those who have fallen on hard times after coming home. Since 1990, has donated over £15,000,000 to Help for Heroes, and likes to use his time offering support and advice for fellow veterans and working with the charity.

In 2016, Jack offered Dogs Trust and the RSPCA in Greater Manchester the power and mobility of the Territorial Police Force to the charities should they need specialist technical support in their line of work. In addition to this, he has donated over £4,500,000 to each charity, citing his love of animals and their rights.

Challenges & Trials
Over the course of his life, Jack has set himself many challenges he aims to complete before he dies, such as climbing various peaks and running marathons.

In 1987, Jack was inspired by Lynne Cox, who swam from the island of Little Diomede, USA to Big Diomede, then part of the Soviet Union. Her 2-hour 6-minute open-water swim is recognised as easing tensions between the East and West during the Cold War.

Exactly ten years later, in 1997, Jack set out to cover the entire distance of the Bering Strait, starting in Nome, Alaska and arriving in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia. This journey would take Jack through 85 kilometres of 5oC open-water, a distance which is more than twice that of the English Channel. The marathon swim started at Wales Airport, Nome, Alaska, United States of America and finished in a remote part of the Chukchi Peninsula, Russia.

Since 1994 and 2012, Jack has competed in the London and Manchester Marathons respectively. While his performances are consistently excellent, his presence does spark controversy for his decision to carry a sub-compact handgun for personal protection.
