Background

Jak (birth name Mar) is the main protagonist of the Jak and Daxter series, being the titular and playable character throughout the franchise with the exception of the spin-off game Daxter. He is a human male with green-blond hair, cerulean blue eyes, and fair skin.

Jak made his debut in The Precursor Legacy at fifteen years old, with his most recent known age at nineteen in Jak X: Combat Racing. He is the son of Damas, born to the House of Mar in Haven City, but raised by Samos Hagai in Sandover Village along with his sidekick Daxter until his mid teenage years.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Jak’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pre-birth, and early life Jak was born to the Grand House of Mar in Haven City as the son of King Damas. His mother was never mentioned in any of the games, making him one of a few characters to have a father with no apparent mother. Some time after his birth, Jak's father was betrayed by Baron Praxis and Veger. The politics of the impeachment remain unknown, however it is known that it was amid the Metal Head Wars. Through betrayal and tyranny, Baron Praxis rose to power as the "temporary" ruler of Haven City and banished Damas to the Wasteland. Jak was pronounced an orphan and left on the city streets, losing the birth name Mar (for an unknown reason) and given the pen name "the kid." Veger, the council leader of Haven City, was in a desperate search for the Precursor catacombs in hopes of turning the Planetary Defense grid on to defend the planet from the foreseeable future. Veger hoped to harness Jak's purity to awaken ancient Precursor technology, and managed to kidnap him intermittently before losing him to a new rebel movement coined the Underground, whose sole purpose was to put young Jak back on the throne where he belonged and re-establish the House of Mar as the ruling dynasty of Haven City. Although Veger stated that he lost young Jak to the Underground, the Shadow (the Underground leader) noted that he found him just "wandering the streets," suggesting young Jak may have escaped by his own power. At some point during these events, an older version of Jak arrived from a different time zone. Soon after being consoled by the Underground, Kor, an elderly member of the Underground, was assigned as the attendant of young Jak and his pet croca-dog. The Shadow originally planned for the young child heir to open the Tomb of Mar and pass the Trials of Manhood to gain the Precursor Stone in order to defeat the Metal Head leader, but the tomb refused to admit the kid on the grounds that he was too young to face the tests. Instead, older Jak forced his way through the door of the tomb in an attempt to retrieve the stone, which at the time was viewed as a desecration due to his impurity. After older Jak passed the trials, young Jak vanished: Kor kidnapped him so that he could open the Precursor Stone for himself. Before The Precursor Legacy Kor would later be revealed to be the Metal Head leader, disguising himself as an Underground member to sabotage Baron Praxis, who made a deal with him that somewhat neutralized the ongoing war activity. Older Jak sent young Jak into the past with the Shadow, in order to protect him from the danger of Kor. Young Jak would then be raised into his adolescence under the watchful eye of the Shadow (real name being Samos). Jak grew up in Sandover Village alongside fellow villager Daxter, who became a close acquaintance. He also grew up with Samos' daughter Keira, who became his main love interest. The events of The Precursor Legacy would take place around ten years after this, when Jak was 15 years old. The Precursor Legacy The opening cutscene of The Precursor Legacy features Jak—along with his friend, Daxter (who was still in his human form)—straying about Misty Island; a place that was restricted by their watchover Samos. The two entered a large area where two dark figures were levitating in front of a large group of Lurkers, where they secretly observed them telling their apparent army to kill anyone straying from "the village." Jak and Daxter then continued searching the island, where they were confronted by a large bone armor lurker shortly after the secret observation. The lurker charged the two when Jak quickly threw an activated dark eco canister, disposing of the lurker, but inadvertently knocking Daxter into a pool of dark eco. When Daxter came back out, he was in the form of an ottsel. Jak then returned to Sandover Village to ask Samos for help. The two then discovered that their only hope of changing Daxter back is finding Gol Acheron, the dark eco sage, who lived far to the north of the continent. Jak then began basic combat and athletic training at Geyser Rock, where he got his heroic start collecting power cells and traveling north. Jak and Daxter, along with Samos and Keira, later found out while at the Red Sage's hut that Gol Acheron and his sister Maia had been corrupted by the dark eco they were studying and were trying to activate a Precursor robot to assist them in opening a dark eco silo to flood the world with dark eco. Jak then entered their citadel, freed the captive sages and fought the two in their Precursor robot. Near the end of their battle, Jak discovered light eco, when four towers surrounding the silo opened up and the four colored ecos inside combined, which could change Daxter back (theoretically) or defeat Gol and Maia and save the world. He chose to save the world, and after the battle, Jak opened the ancient Precursor door at the top of the citadel, and discovered the Rift Gate and Rift Rider behind it, which would start the events of Jak II. Before Jak II Between the end of The Precursor Legacy and the start of Jak II, Jak, Daxter, Keira, and Samos moved the Rift Rider and Rift Gate back to Sandover Village from the location of the large Precursor door. The four are seen studying the artifact in the opening cutscene, where Keira discovered that the Rider somehow interacts with the Ring. Jak was left to find out how to activate it, where he pressed the ruby button encased in the Heart of Mar (indicating location), which activated the Time Map (indicating time zone displacement). This opened the Gate, which inadvertently released the metal heads from an unknown location and caused a swarm of metal heads to attack Sandover Village, starting the second of the two Metal Head Wars. Jak then managed to activate the Rider and entered the Gate, where they were sent into the future in Haven City. Upon entering the city, Jak was arrested by a patrol of Krimzon Guards headed by their commander, Erol. Daxter escaped (starting the events of the spin-off game Daxter), while Keira somehow became a mechanic in the city, and Samos was arrested and imprisoned (as his equivalent for that timezone was currently the leader of the Underground but called the "Shadow," and was therefore taken into custody in confusion). Jak would be imprisoned for two years before being rescued by Daxter at the end of Daxter (game). Daxter Jak only appears four times during Daxter, once at the intro scene where he is captured, once in the cage of a prison zoomer while being moved through the Industrial Section, once when Daxter was flipping through the channels in the Fortress, and once in the ending sequence when Daxter finished telling the story of how he saved Jak. In the intro scene, he has his appearance from The Precursor Legacy but has green hair. In the prison zoomer, he is wearing his prison scrubs and his hair is shorter than it used to be. In the fortress, his hair has been grown to how it appears in the second game. In the ending scene, he has his Jak II appearance. Though Jak's appearances are brief, the plot leading up to Jak II concerning Jak's acquisition of dark powers is somewhat significant. During these two years, he was imprisoned and experimented on under the "Dark Warrior Program." He went through multiple experiments and injections, changing his previous personality seen in The Precursor Legacy from a quiet, headstrong boy with an apparent mutism disorder, to a bitter, revenge-stricken adolescent. By the events of Jak II, Jak broke away from his mutism. Jak II After being rescued by Daxter and escaping from prison, Jak experienced the first display of his dark alter ego (evinced from past experiments) while defeating a squad of guards in the Slums. He was asked to do so by Kor—who was disguised as a human working for the Underground—in order to protect a "very important" child. After defeating the guards, Kor directed Jak to the Underground, a rebel movement waging war against Baron Praxis; Kor noting that its leader, the Shadow, could use fighters like him (Dark Jak). Kor told Jak to find the hideout in a dead-end valley near the city wall, instructing him to ask for Torn. Upon meeting Torn, Jak was at first rejected. After Jak told the leader that he wished to see the "Shadow," Torn gave him the mission "Retrieve banner from Dead Town", in which Jak succeeded; starting initiation missions for membership to the Underground. From then on, Jak worked with a variety of new characters including Krew, a local smuggler and gang-lord, who had apparent connections with the Underground, as well as Onin, a blind soothsayer who knew of Jak's arrival from the past, and was also able to foresee his future. Others included Brutter, Kor, Vin, and Sig. Jak later discovered that the strange new world which they were making their way through was actually in the future, and that Haven City was built around Sandover Village, which was now known as Dead Town. Later in the game, Jak met the Shadow, and discovered it was actually younger Samos. He found Keira and older Samos as well, and upon defeating Kor (who revealed himself to be the Metal Head leader), sent his younger self (the "very important" child) back into the past with the Shadow to grow up safely in Sandover Village, thus repeating the time loop. Jak 3 Shortly after the events of Jak II, war broke out on the streets of Haven City, as new Krimzon Death Bots took over a vital section of the industrial area of Haven, and a large group of stronger Metal Heads that survived the death of their leader concentrated in the gardens sector of the city (at that point renamed Metal Head city). Veger saw this as an opportunity to rid Haven City of Jak, and therefore found him guilty in association with Krew, who compromised Haven City's security which they thought let the metal heads into the city. Veger, on behalf of the Grand Council of Haven City, banished Jak to the Wasteland for life. Distraught, only accompanied by Pecker and Daxter, Jak began looking for salvation in the midst of the desert. He eventually fainted in exhaustion, and having the beacon given to him by Ashelin just before their departure, was found by the king of Spargus, named Damas. Jak, along with Daxter and Pecker, were taken into Damas' sanctum where they were bathed and Jak's clothing was reduced and his hair cut. Jak nearly died, as Damas noted he was preparing to have his monks pray for him. Jak fought in arena matches to prove himself worthy of keeping, where he eventually earned citizenship to Spargus, and became an official "wastelander." During this process he met Sig again, an ally from Jak II, in the Arena of Death, where they were ordered to kill each other under arena rules, though they both withheld the task and were forced to prove their worth to Spargus another way. Later, Jak was invited back to Haven City by Ashelin. Though he initially refused, he returned to fight in the War for Haven City. Before entering Haven City however, Jak had an encounter with Count Veger, who activated a Precursor robot, although Jak managed to defeat it. Later, after reuniting with Torn, Cyber Errol was revealed to be the leader of the KG Death Bots as well as the surviving Metal Heads, however the greater threat was from the incoming Dark Maker ship, which Errol sought to control in order to destroy the planet. In order to destroy the ship, Jak needed to activate the Planetary Defense System by accessing the catacombs near the ruins of the Mar Memorial Stadium. Damas answered Jak's call for help, but was crushed under their vehicle when a blast overturned it, inadvertently revealing that Damas was Jak's father in the final moments of his life. Jak continued through the catacombs, activating the Planetary Defense System and traveled to the Dark Maker's ship to stop Cyber Errol, who escaped in a terraformer before the ship was destroyed. Returning to the Wasteland, Jak defeated Errol and his terraformer. The Precursors, revealed to be ottsels, asked him to come with them to protect the universe. He declined the offer due to the inseparable nature between Jak and Daxter similarly witnessed in the opening cutscene in the beginning of the game (when Daxter stayed behind with Jak in the Wasteland). It is also revealed that Jak's birth name was in fact Mar leaving many fans to speculate on whether Jak is the actual "Mar" who built Haven City, or if he is just of the same lineage and named after the famous figure. Jak X: Combat Racing About one year after the events of Jak 3, Haven City had been completely rebuilt and skinned to better suit the now massively popular sport known as combat racing. With the war finished, Jak, Daxter, Keira, Torn, and Ashelin traveled to Kras City to attend the reading of the will of the late crime lord, Krew. The drinks with which they used to toast to his honor were poisoned. Along with the rest of his friends and Rayn, Krew's daughter, Jak is forced to race in the Kras City Grand Championship in order to win the antidote. When he finally triumphed in the final race, the antidote was stolen by Mizo (who turned out to be the alter-ego of G.T. Blitz, the race "commentator"), forcing him to chase and defeat the crime lord to retrieve it. When Jak defeated Mizo they found out that Rayn had not been poisoned and that they were all part of a large scheme, and Rayn had betrayed the whole group, taking after her father, Krew. Ultimately Rayn escaped but Jak, Daxter, Keira, Torn, and Ashelin were healed. The Lost Frontier After an unknown amount of time following the events of Jak X: Combat Racing, the world grew unstable due to a sudden eco shortage. Jak, Daxter, and Keira flew out to the other side of the world near the Brink in search of a new source of eco. Along the way, the group met a band of Sky Pirates, a faction which hunted the frontier for helpless travelers to steal any supply of eco. During the first confrontation, the leader of the pirates known as Captain Phoenix got in a fight with Jak. Jak attempted to transform into Dark Jak, however the eco storms made the task excruciatingly painful and he only got midway through the transformation process. When Phoenix witnessed this he mistook him for one of his enemies, the Aeropans, and attempted to kill him, but Daxter scared him away with the gun turret placed on their aircraft, inadvertently forcing them to crash land on the Brink. Keira was able to repair their Hellcat airship, and they began to further their journey when they witnessed a large flagship known as the ACS Behemoth calling for help as they were being attacked by Sky Pirates. Jak helped the Aeropan craft, and was welcomed to the Grand City Aeropa to refuel. Upon reaching Aeropa, Jak explained to the city's leaders, Duke Skyheed and Chancellor Ruskin, that he is on a quest to find more eco. Once the former heard this, he revealed to Jak and his companions the eco seeker, a Precursor device said to point to any major source of eco; although the seeker was broken. Keira then asked if she can take the seeker to study it, and find out if she can make it work. Throughout the course of the game, Jak completes missions acquiring coordinate spheres which activate the seeker. Eventually Jak discovered that the Aeropans were conducting a Dark Warrior Program on their citizens, making him angry and vengeful, where he then joined the previously antagonistic Sky Pirates in an effort against the Aeropans. In a siege on Aeropa, Jak finally met up with Skyheed, who also turned into a massive Dark Warrior. Jak battled him, forcing Skyheed to retreat to his shielded flagship, where he attempted to drain eco from the eco core. With Phoenix' sacrifice, Jak was finally able to kill Skyheed, using a new light eco weapon made by Keira. The storms were then calmed due to the realigning and activation of the eco core, and the world was no longer in want of eco.

Equipment

• Morph Gun: The Morph Gun is a playable weapon in Jak II and Jak 3. It is the base device to which several different weapons, known as mods, may be attached. Each mod is based on either red eco, yellow eco, blue eco, or dark eco. In Jak II, the four mods Jak could acquire were the red Scatter Gun, yellow Blaster, blue Vulcan Fury, and dark Peace Maker. These weapons returned in Jak 3, with an additional two mods per eco type (making twelve total), including the red Wave Concussor and Plasmite RPG, the yellow Beam Reflexor and Gyro Burster, the blue Arc Wielder and Needle Lazer, and the dark Mass Inverter and Super Nova.
  • Red Mod: The red mod focuses on power and area of effect, but at the sacrifice of distance and speed. The red weapons are best for crowd control and short-ranged attacks, and are fairly economic in ammo consumption. This makes the red mod a decent default and fallback, though it is outclassed by other mods in more challenging situations.
    • Scatter Gun: The Scatter Gun is a weapon used by Jak during Jak II & Jak 3. It is a red eco-powered red mod Morph Gun and gunstaff weapon, focusing on short-range, blunt-force firepower.
    • Wave Concussor: The Wave Concussor is a weapon used by Jak during Jak 3. It is a red eco-powered red mod Morph Gun weapon focusing on high-power, medium-range force.

• • Yellow Mod: The yellow mod focuses on power and range, but at the expense of ammo efficiency and demanding more precise aiming. The yellow weapons are well suited for most combat situations, but its high ammo consumption means other weapons should be used for more specialized tasks.
    • Blaster: The Blaster is a weapon used by Jak during Jak II & Jak 3. It is a yellow mod Morph Gun and gunstaff weapon powered by yellow eco, useful for its powerful, long-range precision.
    • Beam Reflexor: The Beam Reflexor is a weapon used by Jak during Jak 3. It is a yellow eco-powered yellow mod Morph Gun weapon upgrade to the Blaster, with long range deflecting bullets creating a crossfire hazard for enemies.
    • Gyro Burster: The Gyro Burster is a weapon used by Jak during Jak 3. It is a yellow eco-powered yellow mod Morph Gun weapon, which fires continuous yellow eco bolts from its automatic multi-port drone disk.

• • Blue Mod: The blue mod focuses on rate of fire and range, but sacrifices power and ammo efficiency. Although its aiming mechanics are similar to that of the Blaster, its constant flurry of bullets make it more forgiving in accuracy demands. Instead, skill with accuracy helps more with ammo preservation. The blue mod is well suited for crowd control and particularly strong enemies, as it can deliver more blasts before the enemy has a chance to recover. It also performs in chaotic situations thanks to its bullet spray.
    • Vulcan Fury: The Vulcan Fury (also known as the Vulcan Barrel in Jak II) is a weapon used by Jak during Jak II & Jak 3. It is a blue eco-powered blue mod Morph Gun and gunstaff weapon, focusing on rapid fire.
    • Arc Wielder: The Arc Wielder is a weapon used by Jak during Jak 3. It is a large electrical current inducing weapon that is blue eco-powered. It is a blue mod Morph Gun weapon focusing on high-power, long-range force.
    • Needle Lazer: The Needle Lazer is a weapon used by Jak during Jak 3. It is heat seeking laser dispensing weapon that is blue eco-powered. It is a blue mod Morph Gun weapon focusing on medium-power, medium-range force.

• • Dark Mod: The dark mod focuses on power and destruction, at the considerable expense of ammo. With a decent rate of fire and range, these weapons are best reserved for highly chaotic situations and particularly tough enemies.
    • Peace Maker: The Peace Maker is a weapon used by Jak in Jak II and Jak 3. It is the first dark mod Morph Gun weapon, and specializes in high-grade mass destruction.
    • Mass Inverter: The Mass Inverter is a weapon used by Jak in Jak 3. It is the second dark mod Morph Gun weapon, and is powered by dark eco. The inverter's anti-gravity field will automatically affect enemies traveling into the field, their momentum also affects their traveling speed through the field itself. When fired the field will rapidly expand outward, where after it settles and it slowly expands a little further.
    • Super Nova: The Super Nova is a weapon used by Jak in Jak 3. It is the third and last dark mod weapon for the Morph Gun and is powered by dark eco. It is a mass-destruction, heavy firepower, miniature nuclear weapon, which was acquired by Jak after the mission "Blow open tower door".

• Gunstaff: The gunstaff is Jak's primary weapon in The Lost Frontier. Created by Keira prior to her arrival to the Brink with Jak and Daxter, the gunstaff was created with the ability to attach gun mods but also served as a melee weapon.
  • Scatter Gun: The Scatter Gun mod was found on Brink Island at the beginning of the mission "Look for a way off the island". Unlike the Morph Gun mod, the Gunstaff version was the second mod acquired as opposed to the first, usually coming before the Blaster. Similar to the Morph Gun, however, is its wide cone radius, shotgun-like function, shorter range, and high damage output.
  • Vulcan Fury: The Vulcan Fury is a modified piece of Precursor technology discovered by a sky pirate. It was then patched into Jak's gunstaff, courtesy of Keira, just prior to the mission "Get supplies from Far Drop". It is identical in function to the Morph Gun Vulcan Fury mod, reminiscent of a minigun with a rapid rate of fire and diminishing medium-long range. It is noticeably effective against enemies prone to stunlocking, like the mutant ape and ghoul spider, though be watchful for ammo consumption. Although it has the highest ammo capacity of all gunstaff mods, it maintains a proportionate consumption rate.
  • Lobber: The Lobber was discovered by Keira while at the Aeropan research rig, and as such was available after the mission "Escape the laser lab" upon returning to Keira's workshop at the Phantom Blade. While the Lobber is technically unique to the gunstaff against the Morph Gun, it is effectively a green eco version of the Plasmite RPG, a red mod weapon from Jak 3. However, it is much shorter in range and lower in rate of fire than the RPG. It is nevertheless still useful in pressing situations, as it is very powerful and has a large effect radius. Similar to the Vulcan Fury, it should be reserved due to its high ammo consumption. Unlike the Vulcan Fury, however, it has a low ammo capacity to begin with but a low consumption rate per discharge.

Notable Techniques

Eco type	Eco power	Description	Game
Dark eco	Dark Bomb	The first dark power Jak acquires, involving Jak jumping into the air and slamming his fist down, unfurling a high-octane shockwave of dark eco, harming or destroying all enemies within its radius.	Jak II, Jak 3
	Dark Blast	The second dark power Jak acquires, involving Jak jumping into the air and spinning rapidly, releasing several enemy-seeking bolts of dark eco, harming or destroying all enemies within its radius.
	Invincibility	Grants Jak invulnerability from enemy attacks and some other hazards while in his Dark Jak form.	Jak II
	Dark Giant	Involves Dark Jak growing in size, exponentially increasing his attack's damage output, speed, and jump height.
	Dark Invisibility	Allows Jak to become invisible after touching a dark idol. Unlike other dark powers, this power does not require Jak to transform into Dark Jak to use it. However, a cheat may be unlocked allowing Jak to become invisible at any point while Dark Jak using triangle.	Jak 3
	Dark Strike	Involves Jak charging dark energy between his hands before releasing two connected and self-revolving dark eco spheres, destroying everything in its wake.
Light eco	Light Regeneration	Allows Light Jak to stop time around him while a beam of light eco from above regenerates his health until the eco meter is depleted.
	Flash Freeze	Allows Jak to kneel on one knee, clap his hands above him, and slow time around him.
	Light Shield	Allows Jak to create an impermeable light eco shield around him.
	Light Flight	Allows Light Jak to sprout wings, with which he can glide short distances.
Red eco	Eco amplifier	Involves Jak releasing a large sphere of red eco energy from his hands, which then travels forward until it collides with something or Jak shoots it, at which point it detonates into a harmful shockwave of red eco.	The Lost Frontier
Green eco	Eco construct	The first, most simple form of eco construct, involves Jak raising his hand, causing a collection of green eco crystals to emerge from the ground. This acts primarily as a weapon, especially when upgraded, as well as a defense against the Uber-Bot 888's arm saws.
		The second eco construct involves Jak standing over a patch of small green eco crystals, kneeling, and causing much larger pillars of green eco to erupt from the earth, creating temporal platforms with which he can traverse areas.
	Eco shield	Similar to Light Shield, this power involves Jak creating an impermeable shield around him, though this time out of green eco.
Blue eco	Eco reflexes	Similar to Flash Freeze, this power involves Jak kneeling, clapping his hands above him, and slowing time around him. However, since this power uses blue eco instead of light eco, it is more likely this causes Jak to move faster than his surroundings, only perceiving everything else around him becoming slowed down.
	Eco teleport	Involves Jak swapping places with a targeted Precursor statue, allowing him to traverse long or blocked-off distances.
Yellow eco	Eco rocket jump	Involves Jak getting a boost off of the ground through blasts of yellow eco from his hands. If standing over a yellow eco vent or over a cloud of eco, this boost will allow Jak to reach considerable altitudes (though otherwise it is only a small boost no higher than a standard double jump).

Other

Standard Tactics: Jak will use punches and kicks along with different eco powers and his gun mods to attack. He will also access Dark and Light Jak modes.

Weaknesses: Initially dark eco would instantly kill him, though by Jak II his repeated ingestion of dark eco has granted him a resistance to this, and instead it powers him.

Note: The Lost Frontier takes place shortly after Jak 3, which likely puts it before Jak X.

Trivia

• During the main series—from Jak II to Jak X: Combat Racing—Jak was voiced by Mike Erwin. However, during the sixth installment, The Lost Frontier, he was voiced by Josh Keaton. Jak did not speak during The Precursor Legacy, though vocal sounds were provided by an uncredited Aaron Lohr.
