Jackson was 22yrs old when his life was changed forever, during a mugging outside a speakeasy, he was changed into a werewolf. The time it took his body to adjust was agonizing and hard. After 10yrs, his family began commenting on his appearance and how he hasn't aged. Every 10yrs he fakes his death and starts anew after 3yrs of hiding and living off the land. He tries to keep up with today's fashions, to not stick out. Jackson knows there's no way to reverse his curse and instead of moping about it, he tries his best to be helpful.

Back in the 1920's, he was walking home from a speakeasy when a mugger had attempted to rob him. Jackson began to fight and bit the man, not knowing his mugger was a werewolf. Digesting the blood was horrible, he was in agony for almost a week. Jackson knew right then what he had become. He could feel a beast clawing at his stomach and his brain, day in and day out. He did his best to stay calm and not let his family or his lover find out his secret. After 10yrs had passed, everyone began to notice he was not aging anymore. Jackson made the hard decision to uproot himself with the little money he had and faked his own death. The first 2yrs were hard and he missed his family dearly, but not much could be done.

Jackson was wandering through the forest where he was renting a cabin in. It was about the time of his life where he liked to seclude himself from society, to give himself time to be forgotten. His death was already staged and it had actually made the papers this time. Jackson had made it look pretty gruesome. Every 10yrs or so, he liked to disappear from the life he had created for himself. He also made sure that the insurance money was sent to his "twin brother." It was a good con he had going for himself, gave him enough to live comfortably and provide for himself in what he liked to call his "down years."

Then he heard yelling, screaming, and gun shots. Jackson used all of his will to transform into his werewolf form, running as fast as his could towards the sounds. He needed to help whoever was in trouble, he wanted to use his curse for good because he thought there was no other use for it. That's when he saw a hunter fighting with a beautiful vampire girl. Jackson stayed low for a moment, analyzing what the hunter had on him. Nothing the man had was good enough to kill Jackson, this man was strictly a vampire hunter. He lunged out, jumping on top of the man and using his brute strength to stay on top. With one swift turn of his head and a strong bite, he killed the hunter.

Jackson went to inspect the girl, his absolute hearing allowed him to hear her heart without touching her. She was still alive, but the beats were faint. He picked up the hunter and swung the body over his shoulder, then picked up the girl carefully, carrying both of them back to his cabin. The hunters blood would have to suffice as a meal to the girl, Jackson's own blood was toxic to vampires and other monsters in general.
