Jack's Heritage
Jack's first life was light-years away and millennia in the future. His second was that of the Time Agency: a created universe, twisted, magnificent, ultimately worthless.
Then Earth, World War II, and the TARDIS, followed by abandonment, loss, Victorian England. He picked up customs and manners quickly, from people, books. Then there were the motion pictures; the talkies; technicolor; Gary Cooper, Richard Burton, Harrison Ford. Jack drank it up eagerly, studying every nuance. The film industry made his past out of bits of light and sound.
Celluloid heritage: it served him well, for a life he could call his own.
