Jack [son_of_a_taint] Preferred Nickname? His real name is John, so Jack is actually a nickname already. He hates being called John. So if you're aiming to annoy him, totally do that. In the future, he's known as Handsome Jack, so calling him Handsome will confuse him until I canon-update. Also in the future, he wears a mask of his own face because he will be hiding a severely disfiguring scar. Mockingly calling him Hero or Villain (which he turns into later on). Anything to do with his scar when he gets it. He's a programmer, so Codemonkey is a term.
Secret Memories/Nightmares? Secret Memories/Things Bill should know: He has a young daughter (Angel) that he keeps hidden for several reasons: She's a Siren and when her powers manifested, she accidentally killed her mother (his first wife). That haunts Jack to the extent anything can haunt him. He loves them both. He trussed Angel up to a machine he designed that helps her control her powers and gives her access to everything electronic. He thinks she's happy (she's not, but he's in denial) and has everything she could ever want in that room (called Control Core Angel). His second wife found out about her and bolted. Hence the secret.
The scar comes from the destruction of an Eridian Artefact (in the Vault) being destroyed in front of him. The energy recoil scarred his face and destroyed his green eye. He holds a grudge against Lilith for that after it happens, but keeps the scar hidden and a secret from just about everyone else.
The short version: Jack used Angel masquerading as an AI to trick the Vault Hunters into opening the Vault (an alien pocket dimension-like thing containing artefacts, monsters of unimaginable power, and rumoured treasure) for him and allowing him to capture the Vault Monster so he could use it to create a super-weapon (The Eye of Helios) that he installed in a space station (Helios). At his canon point, not even the Vault Hunters know about it, yet. But they will and they betray him to destroy the Eye. Betrayal is a repeat offender in his life, which is partly why he turns into the main antagonist of BL2 (but he thinks he's a hero).
Special Defences? Nothing that would help him against Bill.
Any questions about him, feel free to ping me (Kiwismoof) and I'll answer them. And pretty much, I do this for all mind-readers, anything I put in introspective is absolutely free game to Bill.
