Jak, also known by his birth name of Mar, is one of the two main characters of the Jak and Daxter series. He has two alter-egos named Dark and Light Jak.

History[]

Childhood[]

Jak was the son of Damas, the former ruler of Haven City. At some point before the events of Jak II, he was kidnapped by Count Veger and subsequently lost. He was later found wandering around in the streets by Samos. Samos then placed him, along with his pet crocadog, into Kor's care. Later on, Samos planned to have Jak open the Tomb of Mar and retrieve the Precursor Stone, which could be used to stop the Metal Head's leader. However, the Tomb refused this due to his young age and Jak's older self completed them in his place.

Jak was then kidnapped by Kor, who intended on opening the Precursor Stone. After Kor's transformation into Metal Kor and his subsequent defeat, Jak and Samos were sent back in time to Sandover Village. Before leaving, he gave his older self the pendant around his neck. This pendant was the Seal of Mar, their ancestor.

After their arrival in the past, several years went by. Jak became the adopted nephew of a nameless explorer and Samos became the Green Sage. During this time, Jak befriended a boy named Daxter. As the two grew up, they went on many adventures together.

Light Jak[]

Light Jak briefly appeared near the end of The Precursor Legacy when Jak channeled Light Eco. The Eco gave him the ability to defeat Gol and Maia's Precursor robot.

He reappeared in Jak 3, during a trip to the Monk Temple. At the Temple, Jak discovered a Precursor idol which awakens Jak's light form. Throughout the game, Jak learned new abilities that only Light Jak could use.

Dark Jak[]

Dark Jak was first seen near the beginning of Jak II. Due to Dark Eco experiments performed on Jak by Baron Praxis, he became able to channel Dark Eco. However, this also gave rise to Dark Jak, a dark version of Jak who appeared crazy and had a blood lust. Throughout the game, Dark Jak was given new powers by a Precursor Oracle.

In Jak 3, Dark Jak served the same role as in the previous game where Jak could transform into him when channeling Dark Eco. He appeared before Damas and this convinced him that Jak would be useful to Spargus.

Dark Jak didn't fully appear in Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Jak was about to transform into Dark Jak but was stopped by the Eco storms. All of the concentrated Eco in the air could have caused the transformation to kill him.
