Jack Guerrero is not Jack Guerrero. Well, not like how you and I are you and I. The man was born in the year 1892 in the city of London, England under the name Marcus Shepard. When he turned 18 he enlisted in the army, where he was trained as a sniper or sharpshooter. Four years later would mark the start of The Great War, where Marcus fought in the trenches for England. The activities of Marcus Shepard grew to be infamous, in fact his skilled marksmanship (likely a by product of his mutant ability, which had manifested) led him to be called "Rachsüchtigen," Vengeful Ghost in German.
Unbeknownst to most, Marcus was tapped alongside six other remarkable individuals as intelligence officers. These individuals would become the founding members of what is now MI6. After World War 1 Marcus Shepard disappeared, having seemingly vanished from the face of the earth. In truth Marcus Shepard retired his own identity to adopt a new one for the agency: Benjamin Swift. Benjamin Swift is known to have been part of numerous clandestine operations around the world, he was MI6’s go to man.
Officially, no one knew of his existence as MI6 was itself clandestine at the time, but he was their top agent, their best spy. Not all of his jobs are known, especially because they were not well documented, not even by MI6. It is known that Benjamin continued to work for years and was around during World War 2. In fact records found indicate that at this point Benjamin Swift was acting on the front-lines of the war as a special operatives of sorts. He was a lynchpin in the war effort, in charge of and directing entire groups of secret agents throughout Europe.
Around the very end of the War, it would seem that Benjamin Swift was captured and taken to an interment camp in Asia. Images found in the camp show the a blinded Benjamin being abused and toyed with by amused Japanese soldiers. The odd thing is that the camps inhabitants were all found murdered by unarmed combat when soldiers finally found and assaulted the camp. Benjamin Swift was presumed dead despite no body found. The culprit responsible for the slaughter still remains a mystery.
In truth, Benjamin's mutation evolved to surpass the trauma of having lost his sight, unlocking a secondary mutation of Enhanced Regeneration. He grew his eyes back and murdered his captors before fleeing. Years passed, with Benjamin adopting and discarding multiple identities over the decades as he manipulated the world to his whims. Nowadays he calls himself Jack Guerrero, a name he finds most agreeable. Realizing that there are others like him, Guerrero has begun to plan his own vision for the world.
Uɴᴅᴇʀ Tʜɪs Mᴀsᴋ:
• Patient & Calculating: Setting plans within plans Jack always has contingencies in the case of mishap. In the case he doesn't have a prepared plan, he is more than capable of improvising a gambit. Capable of waiting months, even years for just parts of his plan to fall into place, Jack knows the value of patience.
• Brilliant & Cunning: With his natural aptitude for plans, schemes, and plots, combined with his mutant ability, Jack has an easy time figuring out what everyone else in the game is planning. Meaning that Jack can not only account for their plots, but can even use their plan to further his own. Constantly manipulating the field until it he gets something he wants. It's hard to predict just what move would make this man lose...
• Charismatic: Charming and sophisticated, Jack often exudes a feeling of class and elegance. Friendly and polite, Jack often makes friends easily.
• Determined: Jack has always been a man to get the job done, whatever the job may be. To do so, he will use just about any means, letting nothing or no one stand in his way. Though he is never pointlessly cruel, having a reason for everything he does, it is fair to say that he is not a nice man. He adheres to a loose code of honor, perhaps loose due to his past as a spy, not an inherently noble profession.

Consummate Survivor
Enhanced Vision: Jack’s eye abilities make no outward sign of being used, allowing him to use his abilities with none being the wiser, in fact, Jack’s has had a long time to get accustomed to his abilities; he has reached the point that his powers are just as natural for him as breathing. Jack can see clearly and precisely over incredibly large distances. Going so far as to be able to read a man’s lips from across a city, he has Eyes of a Hawk. Yet his eyes glimmer in ways few realize, for Jack can clearly in the darkness; and if he chooses, to even see heat like thermal scopes and goggles, thus allowing him to track by heat. He is even a bit of Mind Reader, for body language has a lot to say, if you can read it. Jack’s eyesight allows him to read body language to such a degree that he can appear to be reading a person’s mind. As such, lying to Jack is nearly impossible. The most impressive part of his powers is that Jack’s eyesight has developed to the point that he can see everything move in slow motion when he chooses. Because of this, he can react and move at incredible speeds. If this technique is active, he can even dodge bullets. He possesses what many would call, The Devil’s Eye:.
Enhanced Regeneration: Jack’s secondary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. This power developed to help Jack regenerate his eyes when they were lost during his stay at an interment camp. This regeneration is so pronounced that it results in Slow Aging. Jack was born sometime in 1892 after all; Jack is quite the old man at 123, yet he retains the appearance and physical vitality of a man who in the 50s of his life. Furthermore, that enhanced regeneration allows Jack to have Enhanced Physical Abilities. Jack can push the limits that his body would normally suffer. Jack’s physical abilities are superior to the natural physical limits and capabilities of most if not all humans. However, it is important to note that Jack’s regeneration developed in his 50s. As a result, though he may be harder, faster, better, or stronger physically than any human, Jack faces a disadvantage against any other super powered individual. Wolverine for example will be slightly superior to Jack simply for being in his prime.
Father of Covert Ops: Due to his experience traveling the world, working for or in several countries, and his intimate past involving the development of most of the techniques involved in covert ops, he can be considered the father of spies and covert warfare.
Multi-lingual: This work also resulted in Jack being a polyglot. Jack is fluent in many languages including English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, German, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Turkish, and Arabic.
Combat Expert: Jack is a hand-to-hand combat expert. He developed the styles favored by covert operatives and spies. He also served in the army as a sniper for several wars, resulting in thorough understanding of a variety of weapons.
