Jax Briggs
Bio:
Thirty years ago, Jax was the C.O. of a secret Special Forces unit that got
caught up in the Mortal Kombat tournament and the subsequent invasion of
Earthrealm by Shao Kahn and Outworld. Although Earthrealm was victorious, Jax
died in the fighting. Jax's soul was confiscated by the Netherrealm sorcerer
Quan Chi. Jax was recreated as a vengeful undead warrior and forced to fight
against his home world when Netherrealm attacked Earthrealm. Soon after
Netherrealm's defeat, Jax was freed of Quan Chi's influence and returned to
life. He decided not to reactivate his military status, however, due to the
trauma he suffered. Thought he reluctantly serves as a consultant as a favor to
his best friend General Sonya Blade, Jax prefers the quiet life with his family.
His stress has been increased in recent years due to his daughter Jacqui's
enlistment in the Special Forces--and her membership in a secret team not unlike
the one he himself led...
