"Come into my parlor" said the Spider to the Fly.
A silver-tongue conman, Jackson is as brilliant a liar as he is a techie. Highly intelligent and logical he sees people as play things. He has very little empathy but through age and observation he has learned to a degree how emotions work. He has studied psychology. He has studied sociology. Study is a hobby of his and he turns whatever knowledge he has to his advantage.
Jackson's motivations seem hard to define at first. On a basic level he seems driven heavily by money. However that is only a means to an end. He is driven by challenge and power and games and winning. He is not sadistic but neither is he compassionate. He treats life as a game. He's willing to take wild risks for great reward. He is confident to the point of arrogant, reckless to the point of dangerous. Still, he is good which has allowed him to survive.
What he lacks in empathy for people he seems to make up for in mountains with machines. The things he builds or makes have lives of their own. When they are broken he mourns for them like close friends or family. Nothing seems to prod him to more emotional highs and lows than his relationship to technology.

An orphan, Jackson was a pretty angry child. He was delinquent, always in trouble. He lashed out at those around him, often seen as sporadic and unpredictable. Dangerous even. This continued into his teenage years until one day he was dragged up before juvenile court (again) and told under no uncertain terms if he got in trouble again he would be tried as an adult.
So he stopped. Suddenly he cleaned up his act, got a job, even got a scholarship. He quickly fell down the rabbit hole of programming and it wasn't long before his greater access to technology led him into the darker parts of the web. It was always a challenge to break systems and security and he likes bringing down people who think they've built something uncrackable. He got a job in the regular tech industry but quickly lost it due to being something of a hothead.
So he went freelance, often manipulating his clients to extort more money for them. At some point the Headmaster of Masquerade recruited him. The money was excessive and seemed to guarantee him freedom to do whatever he was doing on the side. So he took it and has been happily installed in Brookings ever since, breaking hearts and causing mischief.

`` ABILITY/POWER Technomancy: Technology speaks and Jackson listens. He is able to manipulate data on an almost instinctive level and he has an innate knack for how hardware fits together. The things he makes and handles tend to take on a life of their own- though whether this is from the machines themselves or simply a product of Jackson's imagination. His reach is not great. He must physical handle or connect to a network in order to manipulate it. He cannot just reach through the air. His work is primarily through his hands.
