Who is Jack Tenrec?

An Old Blood Mechanic Born in the 26th century, Jack Tenrec is a member of the Old Blood Mechanics, a fraternity of techno-shamans that kept the machines running during the centuries after the Great Cataclysm that forced humanity underground. Now that humanity has resurfaced and discovered that the planet is ruled by "slithers" (the name used to indicate dinosaurs), Jack fights a battle to keep the balance between nature and technology. The City in the Sea Jack lives in a massive fortress, usually called "The Garage", located on the cliffs in front of the City in the Sea (a settlement built on the ruins of the old Manhattan).

This has placed Jack in an awkward position: he doesn't want to be a hero, but people look at him that way and some governors consider him to be a danger to their own personal power. Allies Jack has a good number of allies among the common citizens, most notably Mess O'Bradovich - a former criminal that J.
