Jack Cabot

Jack Cabot is a scientist and member of the Cabot family in 2287.

Background
The current head of the Cabot family, Jack is a world-famous physician and scientist. Or would be, if any kind of global news service existed. Born to incredible wealth and privilege, Jack spent his formative years studying the sciences and rising to prominence in scientific circles. Laboring in the shadow of his father, Lorenzo Cabot, and his obsession with lost civilization, Jack was one of many who dismissed him as a quack and pseudo-scientist. He admitted his mistakes when his father returned from the Empty Quarter, bringing strange objects and proof of an ancient city beneath the sands. However, the newly found respect for his father was marred by the man's lack of foresight. Lorenzo irresponsibly experimented with a seemingly dormant ancient artifact - an apparent crown - after returning. Placing it on his head, he inadvertently caused it to fuse with his nervous system. He gained various seemingly paranormal powers... as well as becoming increasingly irrational and violent, culminating in paranoia and homicidal rage. After a crime streak that surely would have put him on death row, he was finally apprehended.

To protect themselves and the public from him and him from himself, the Cabot clan elected to confine him at Parsons State Insane Asylum indefinitely, using their influence to shield him from a death sentence. In the course of Jack's attempts to cure him, he discovered that the artifact had introduced anomalies into his blood. The source of his insanity became the basis of a longevity serum that have prolonged all our lives. The same substance was also responsible for making Lorenzo such a threat. Anyone could handle an elderly man in an asylum, but an elderly man with enhanced strength, resistance to most kinds of physical damage, and local telekinesis projected by the artifact itself? That was too much. Kept under a dampening field, Lorenzo was in isolation for centuries as his son tried to find a cure for his father's madness in vain.

Convinced that his psychosis could be treated by removing the artifact Jack attempted countless treatments to remove it - only to discover that it fused too tightly with his nervous system. Nevertheless he keeps trying, enjoying the long life afforded him at the patriarch's expense.
