Sylum: Hunter<\/h2>\n

Jack<\/a> was born in Santa Monica, CA, the oldest son of Phillip Bauer. Little is known of his mother – Jack rarely\u00a0speaks of her. \u00a0Phillip intended for Jack to follow in his footsteps as head of his company BJX Technologies, but Jack chose a career in the\u00a0military instead.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0joined the US Army, working his way up to the elite unit, Delta Force. While in the Army, Jack received several commendations for performance under fire. He left\u00a0the Army with the rank of Captain, and\u00a0made a career of working for various federal and state\/local government agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit, and a stint as case officer in the clandestine service with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). \u00a0He is now Lead Field Agent\/Field Ops Director for the CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit).<\/p>\n

He has demonstrated a high proficiency with firearms, explosives, electronic devices, resistance to torture (Dilios Note<\/strong>: After being kidnapped by Chinese agents, and tortured for almost two years, it is revealed he didn’t speak a single word for the whole time). He is fluent in German and has demonstrated ability to speak Spanish , Russian, Arabic, and Serbian. \u00a0He’s also shown to fly\u00a0planes and helicopters.<\/p>\n

His wife, Terri, was killed by a terrorist, J\u00a0ack blames himself for her death. His daughter, Kim, worked with him at CTU, while dating Bauer’s\u00a0partner Chase.<\/p>\n

After a day from hell, Kim dumped Chase and disappeared.<\/p>\n

Jack was left picking up the pieces.<\/p>\n
