Jack Valentine

Jack Valentine is the main character in the Seekers series, and also appears in the short story Killian's Dead.

Biography
Jack's real name is Jacqueline, but she never uses it. She is a music lover, seeking the thrill of loud, live music to fill an emptiness inside her.

Jack's first encounter with the Silver takes place in Killian's Dead, when she is 17 years old and has a brief love affair with a woman named Winta. She is turned Silver at the age of 18, when Winta bites her in order to escape from Killian Drake (it is not known if it was Winta's intention to make Jack Silver, or simply to drain her blood). Jack joins the Seekers in order to track Winta down. She later describes the circumstances of her turning as 'a colossal fuck-up'.

At the time of May Day, Jack has been Silver for 20 years, making her 38 years old, though she still looks 18. She is the youngest Seeker at Solomon College.

Personality and traits
She can be impulsive and act before she thinks, and she often comes off as confrontational, especially to those in authority. She is very observant, with an almost photographic memory, which helps her a lot at crime scenes.

Relationships
Jack no longer speaks to her birth family; they were unsupportive when she came out as bisexual at sixteen, and she had little in common with them after she was turned Silver. She has one brother, but has not met his children.

She dates Dr Tabitha Ross during May Day and Judgement Day.

Jack has made something of a nemesis out of Killian Drake, but struggles with her attraction towards him.

Jack's best friend is Cam, and she is also friendly with Naia and Boyd. These three Silver make up the rest of her Seeker team.

She instantly dislikes Andrew, the Secundus, due to his military demeanour, and hates Benedict, the Tertius.

She has had many run-ins with Matthew Felton, who resents her for setting him on fire during the events of May Day, and Sir Percival Windsor, a local aristocrat.
