He rescinds the bounty on the Vault Hunters, vowing to exact vengeance himself for Angel's death, and threatening to hunt down anyone who kills the Vault Hunters before he does. Lilith attempts to attack him, but Jack throws a Siren power-restraining collar at her neck and captures her to replace his recently-deceased daughter as a catalyst to charge the Vault key. The emotional trauma from these events was strong enough that as an adult Jack had his grandmother murdered, and no doubt contributed towards his mental decline.įollowing Angel's death, Jack makes his first physical appearance in the story and kills Roland.
Jack's father died when he was young and his mother left him in the 'care' of her mother Jack's grandmother, who was (at a minimum) physically abusive towards her grandson. The satellite also has a lens that allows Jack to keep an eye on the Vault Hunters at all times. It acts as an homage to his ego as well as a supply base from which he can send supplies and troops down to Pandora. Jack has a geostationary moon base (in the shape of an 'H') in the Lagrange point between Pandora and Pandora's geostationary moon Elpis. A new team of Vault Hunters is tasked with killing Jack and restoring (relative) peace to Pandora. He has taken over the Hyperion corporation, declared himself dictator of Pandora, and stolen all of the credit for finding The Vault, going so far as to claim responsibility for killing The Destroyer. Handsome Jack is the main antagonist of both Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands and the deuteragonist of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
