Who is Jake Travest?

Little is truly known about Jackson Travest's history, especially by Jake himself. He isn't sure which of his memories are real, and which aren't. He's had several flashbacks about his martial arts training, some operations in various bejungled countries, and more. However, his present is just as interesting as his past, as there are at least two people in his head. Jake Travest is possessed of multiple personalities. His normal self is sort of smooth, savvy, and of course, a highly effective operation. However, he occasionally switches into another persona, his Slash persona, which is rage and homicidal anger personified. This identity tends to manifest itself while Jake is under lots of stress, or when he needs to accomplish something his already violent 'normal' self is loathe to do.
