[/float]History
The man who would one day become known as Handsome Jack, began his life as simply: John. Born on the planet of Tantalus, his father passed away while he was very young, causing his mother to give custody of Jack to his grandmother. While being raised by his grandmother, on the wasteland planet of Pandora, he was subjected to physical and mental abuse. But, even so, he maintained a kind and friendly personality, and when he became older, he found a job as a computer engineer for the Hyperion Corporation. Eventually his stunning good looks and affable personality helped him to get married and have a daughter, Angel, whom was one of the universe's six sirens; women who were gifted with immense powers. He was happy for some years after this, until his own daughter killed her mother when her powers went out of control.
Handsome Jack then connected Angel to Hyperion's Control Core, a device which would keep her powers under control and would allow him access to the communication systems on Pandora. Using Angel, he worked to guide the actions of the populace of Pandora. After the vault is opened and the Destroyer within was defeated, he managed to persuade his superiors to build the Helios space station in order to keep watch on Pandora. During this time, Jack hires six vault hunters to help him with finding a vault on Elpis, Pandora's moon, and to battle back against an enemy force known at the Lost Legion.
Jack has his vault hunters assist him in retaking the station as well as calling in assistance from Roland and Lilith; two vault hunters who opened the vault on Pandora. After fighting through the Lost Legion, Jack and his vault hunters manages to defeat Zarpedon. Before being killed by Jack, Zarpedon explains that the vault on Elpis has been opened. With Helios back under Hyperion control, Jack then decides to use the Eye of Helios to attack the Lost Legion forces on Elpis. Jack activates the laser weapon; only for it to destroy itself. Moxxi, Roland and Lilith betrayed Jack in order to prevent him from getting too powerful. Hurt by such actions, but not dissuaded from his mission, Jack then orders the vault hunters he hired to go after the vault on Elpis. After his group succeeds in seizing the vault, Jack arrives to claim the treasure, which was information on another vault on Pandora known as "The Vault of The Warrior". While taking in this information, Lilith arrives and destroys the artifact, scarring Jack's face in the process.
After donning a mask and killing his superior, Jack becomes Handsome Jack; president and CEO of the Hyperion Corporation. Handsome Jack then began operations on Pandora to carry out his vengeance and his plan for planetary peace. Stealing the vault key from Patricia Tannis, and using the rare mineral known as Eridium to increase Angel's power in order to charge the vault key, he sought to bring the Warrior under his control. In order to prevent someone else from possibly finding and opening the vault before he can, he tricks bandits and vault hunters into coming to Pandora and attempts to kill them.
After a group of vault hunters survive Jack's trap, they manage to join up with the resistance created by the original vault hunters. Though Jack plays with them for some time, using them to give him access to the resistance stronghold of Sanctuary, once they killed his daughter he finally began to truly wish them dead. A grand show-down occurred at the Vault of the Warrior, which contained an ancient bio-weapon which could raze planets. But, despite every sign pointing towards his victory, somehow the vault hunters were able to destroy the Warrior. They would have killed him as well, had not Omni chosen that very moment to whisk him away.
