Info: [Head's never, ever been clearer in my whole fuckin' life! Lemme explain somethin' to you, V... My whole life I've spent in this shit around us! And I ain't going back!Jackie was raised by both of his parents, though his father was a violent alcoholic, often getting drunk and beating his wife and Jackie mercilessly with his belt. When Jackie became old and strong enough, he finally returned the favor, hospitalizing his father and threatening to kill the old man if he ever returned home. Raúl left and was never seen again, but Jackie kept his father's belt, planning to use it on the man if he ever returned. Jackie grew up in the same neighborhood as Misty Olszewski. The two saw a lot of each other, though they never got together in their younger years. At the age of 15, Jackie got on his first bike, and from then on, he tinkered with any bikes he could get his hands on. Early on, he joined the Valentinos alongside Gustavo Orta and the two became fast friends. However, after sustaining a near-fatal gunshot wound at 19 in a gang war firefight with the Maelstrom, Jackie decided to leave the Valentinos for the sake of his mother, though he remained on good terms with the gang and with Padre. In 2076, Jackie began dating Misty. His mother disapproved of Misty, preferring his ex-girlfriend, Camilla, but Jackie was unfazed, even attempting to understand and reciprocate her spiritualism by making a mandala in his garage. Sometime after David Martinez's death, Welles was in El Coyote Cojo with friends, where he answered the questions of a group of edgerunners crew about the Valentinos member Dalton Estevan-Luis. Later that day, he went on a date with Misty. Later that same year, Jackie met V,Jackie is a long time friend and confidant of V, helping V out whenever and wherever possible. During a meeting at Lizzie's Bar, an Arasaka entourage strips V of their corporate status with the intention of executing the young corpo. Before the entourage can carry out the execution, however, Jackie intervenes and rescues V, afterward assuring V this is a chance for a new start and offering to let V stay with Mamá Welles and him until V has enough money to move out. By late April 2077, six months after the events of the prologue, Jackie and V had established themselves as reliable mercs. At some point they partnered with netrunner T-Bug, who guides them in the latest of many jobs; rescuing Sandra Dorsett from Scavs. At the suggestion of T-Bug, Jackie and V were recruited by Dexter DeShawn (at the behest of Evelyn Parker) to steal a prototype Relic from Yorinobu Arasaka containing an engram of Johnny Silverhand. During The Pickup, Jackie accompanied V to the Maelstrom stronghold, the All Foods Factory, to acquire a Militech Flathead, which was essential for the seemingly impossible heist. After everything was set in place for the heist, Jackie and V were finally admitted into the famed Afterlife, where Jackie intimated to the club's bartender, Claire Russell, that he wanted a cocktail named after him if he ever managed to become a Night City legend. The drink would contain "A shot of vodka, lime juice, ginger beer and, most importantly... a splash of love."That night, Jackie and V held their briefing with T-Bug and Dex on how to steal the Relic from Konpeki Plaza. Although the mercs successfully infiltrated Yorinobu's room and retrieved the Relic, The Heist took a drastic turn when Yorinobu killed his father during a surprise visit by the elder Arasaka. Jackie and V managed to escape the hotel, but...]

The Relic: [The Relic is a series of Arasaka biochips allowing the storage and manifested reading of digitized human psyches known as engrams.At least two separate versions of the biochip prototype were developed by 2077, according to the summarized internal report assembled by the former director of the Relic project, Anders Hellman, upon turning coat for the benefit of Arasaka's rival corporation, Kang Tao. The first version was intended for the commercial market and advertised as a means for wealthy elites to store their psyche in form of an engram capable of basic communication with their loved ones. The form itself would have consciousness but lack true self-awareness. In spite of its limitations, Relic 1.0 has managed to enter the market and the lives of Night City residents, giving hope by providing a notion of immortality truly approaching human reach. Arasaka logs on the other hand reveal that the Relic's initial purpose was of a more capitalist nature - using Soulkiller on celebrities, important cultural icons, and artists in order to create engrams for commercialisation purposes.The second version of the biochip was a top secret project, personally commissioned and supervised by Saburo Arasaka. It was intended for internal use within the corporation only, never to be sold. Unlike the original biochip, which was only used to communicate with pre-saved engrams with artificially integrated limitations, Relic 2.0 contains a system which was meant to install and activate the engram in a new organic body. The core idea of the project was to implant a digitized psyche into a new host, although only after the body had all neural and cardiac functions terminated, at which point it would automatically expand into the host's brain using nanotechnology. In short, a person who copied their mind onto Relic 2.0 and then died could be restored to life in a new body using the chip, effectively granting them immortality. Internal testing of Relic 2.0 showed promising results, but Arasaka scientists had difficulty preventing the personality construct from becoming emotionally unstable after re-implantation, and the biochip eventually failed in every trial. The Arasaka Corporation also confirmed that Relic 2.0 would not activate if implanted in living individuals who were on the verge of death. The project had not progressed past the trial phase until an unplanned undertaking of the process by a living individual. Examination of the Relic's advancement proved that, despite keeping the subject alive, it was continuing its functional expansion and taking over the motor and psychological functions of the host.]
