Jackie

"My time is running out."

Jackie was a protagonist prior to the events of Forest Survivors.

Plot
Sometime before the events of Forest Survivors, a man simply known as "Jackie" came into the woods. Not much is known about Jackie, but he later died, presumably from Viktor Klov.

While he was suffering, he hid an ATV deep in an undiscovered alcove in the woods. He concealed a tracking device with directions to the machine, and buried it in the woods. He also buried a magnetic compass/detector with an attraction to the tracking device in the Cornfield with a note stating that he wanted whoever found it to "use it well" because it had helped him in his travels. He was bleeding when he wrote the note, as it was covered in blood stains when it was found.

During Forest Survivors, the note was presumably turned over after the cornfield burned down because of a forest fire created by Professor Wilder. The note and detector laid undiscovered on the barren plateau for a while, until Joshua Wilder stumbled upon it and found the ATV.
