History
Jackson Thaddeus Reed was born and raised in the rural areas around Ithaca, New York, and in the meat markets of New York's busy streets. His father was a farmer and an avid hunter, while his mother stayed home and schooled him until he was 18. He graduated Ithaca High with honors and went on to join the United States Marine Corps, against the wishes of his parents. Dutifully, earning a Silver Star and a multitude of others, Jackson eventually moved up to the Officer Training Academy (OTA) before he was 24. This also earned him some time in Special Forces on classified missions all over the globe, where he earned a bit of a name: 'the Ripper', due to his ability to tear through any firefight.

Two years later, he retired after eight years of active duty and moved to the city to become a Park Ranger. A month on the job later, Jackson was rushed to the E.R. after being attacked by a "wild animal". The creature was never found. However, another body, a man with wounds matching Jackson's knife, was found. The attack was labeled self defense and life moved on for everyone, except Jackson. The man had given something to the Ranger, making him a predator, a monster, a werewolf...
