Role in the Series
Killer Instinct
In the first Killer Instinct, it is revealed that Jago was adopted by Tibetan monks that worshipped the Tiger Spirit, who the young Jago would grow to idolize. Jago eventually became powerful enough and old enough to venture out and defeat evil, and the Tiger Spirit ordered him to eliminate the evil of Ultratech, a corrupt megacorporation, by entering their Killer Instinct Tournament. His opponent was Fulgore, a prototype robot built by Ultratech.
Killer Instinct 2
After Black Orchid's victory over Eyedol, many of the contestants of the Killer Instinct Tournament were whisked away into the past along with Ultratech itself. Shortly afterward, Jago was horrified by the revelation that the Tiger Spirit was really Gargos, the rival of Eyedol who was just as evil as his fallen foe. This shook Jago to the core, and, promising to get revenge, set off on his own to find and defeat Gargos for his betrayal.
