Background:
Born to Marian and James Painter, Jak lived the life of a normal human until his fifteenth birthday. When his parents took him out camping for his birthday, a rabid wolf attacked their camp in the middle of the night. Killing his father as he struggled to protect his wife and mauling Jak within an inch of his life before Jak's mother shot the rabid beast in the back with the shotgun they carried with them in case of emergencies.
After waking up from a coma, Jak found a woman he didn't know sitting next to his bed waiting for him to wake up. Once she realized he had woken up, a tight smile formed on her lips and she waited until he had eaten and had something to drink before explaining why his mother wasn't here instead. While he had been in a coma, Jak's mother had given him up for adoption and disappeared without a trace. When the doctor's cleared him for release, he was admitted into the adoption agency immediately. After going through five foster homes in the last three years until he became an adult, each one worse than the last, he immediately turned to a life of crime to survive.
While he was in his first foster home, he had had his first 'transformation' as he called them. He had spent the next few nights and days running on all fours through the small wooded area behind his foster home. The nice couple that had adopted him assumed he was into drugs when he returned naked, drenched in sweat, and shaking out of control. Once he had tried telling them what really happened, they had decided he was insane and sent him back to the adoption agency. After that, each home that took him in was worse than the last until he was finally free of them all.
He was in and out of jail five times before he reached the age 25. All for either assault or possession charges. When he met Evence (Eve) Cooper for the first time, she was wandering aimlessly through the thick snow on the edge of the forest off to the left side of the highway. He had just been released from prison less than month ago and had decided to clean up his life. He had rented out a nice little, one bedroom cabin deep into he forest and he convinced Eve to come with him. If only just for a couple days until she figured out what she would do. Jak also had one of his 'friends' from jail staying with him, but he kicked him out of the only room in the house to let Eve have it. When she wasn't looking, Jak would beat his 'friend' any time he questioned him about Eve staying in their home.
One day after Jak returned from a hard day of work, Evence told him she was leaving and was already headed out the door. Jak tried to convince her to stay but when she refused, Jak lost his temper and grabbed a hold of her arms as hard as he could. Growling at her as he shoved her back inside his home, he locked her in his bedroom and nailed the window shut so she couldn't leave. He vowed to never let another person he deeply cared for go and that meant if he had to keep her imprisoned here forever, he would.
It was only when he went in to give her dinner that night that she fought against him. With the advantage of being small, Evence ducked underneath Jak's arm as he entered and bolted for the door. Jak tackled her and even gave her a punch or two in the belly to insure she wouldn't be able to fight back. It was only with the help of Jak's friend, Gavin, that Eve escaped at all. Gavin died that night at the hands of Jak. For a year and a half after, he spent his time planning on how to ruin her life. It was only when he found Eve's Ex mate's little sister roaming the woods by herself that he saw the opportunity he needed. Kidnapping her and keeping her trapped inside an underground shelter in the back of his home, he left clues as to who had taken her. Leading the trail straight to Eve's territory.
Jak wasn't really a bad man. He just had felt too much loss in his life to understand that his obsession with Eve was wrong. He thought she was all he needed and could ever want.
