Dagger Jack got the name from fellow cyborgs because he used to juggle five daggers at once before throwing them one at a time at a target.

He had virtual training in demolitions, construction and as a Law Enforcement Protector. Once the Starport was finished, he would become a protector in one of the towns west of Farringay.Ambushed by rogue cyborgs, catastrophic injuries left Dagger clinically dead and they rebuilt him. That changed everything. When he awakens the second time he doesn't want to be a protector.Something was missing besides the memories he lost. He was made for war but only love would make him whole again. Clarissa Lake grew up watching Star Trek and reading Marvel Comics.
