Biography:
The truth about Jack Burton may be lost to history, but those involved know of his importance in the battle against Lo Pan in San Francisco’s Chinatown. After winning a bet against his friend, Wang Chi, Burton went with him to the airport to pick up Wang’s girlfriend, Miao Yin. After Miao Yin is captured by a street gang, Wang and Burton made pursuit.

Jack and Wang track the gang to the back alleys of Chinatown, where they find a funeral procession that quickly erupts into a tong war between the Chang Sing and Wing Kong, two ancient Chinese societies. When three mighty warriors with weather-themed powers appear, slaughtering both sides, Jack attempts to gun his big-rig through the crowd, but runs over Lo Pan, a decrepit man directing the Three Storms. Horrified, Jack exits his truck, but finds Lo Pan unfazed and glowing with magic. Wang hurriedly guides Jack through the alleys; the two escape the carnage and mayhem, but Jack's truck is stolen.

Jack and Wang meet with a few of their friends and the Chang Sings to lead a rescue mission on Lo Pan’s hideout. During their mission, Wang rescues Miao Yin, Jack rescues his truck and manages to kill Lo Pan. 

After the battle, Jack decides to take up trucking again, unaware that he has a stowaway in a demon beast that was once bound to Lo Pan. Once Jack finds the beast is friendly, he decides to head back to Chinatown to ask Egg Shen, a wise old wizard that helped during the battle against Lo Pan, about him. Shen tells Jack that the beast was bound to Lo Pan and, once Jack killed Lo Pan, the bond was transferred to Jack.

Jack, deciding to name the beast Pete, heads to the Midnight Road with Shen, another realm within the realm of Earth accessed through ancient Chinese black magic. On their journey, Jack is tricked by an evil servant of Lo Pan into a long journey that takes him to Hell, the future, and the past during the birth of San Francisco's Chinatown before finally back to his past of 1986 during the events of the battle of Lo Pan. Jack ends up inadvertently helping his past self and his allies before being transported back to his present.

After his adventures, he and Pete set off on trucking once more, this time with new horizons.


Pete, Jack’s demon beast sidekick.

Biography: “When the dust settled, though, it seemed the ugly son of was really just lonely. He missed his boss, and now that he was suddenly unemployed, he didn't know what to do with himself, apart from fling his own poop (which I once saw melt its way through the door of a 1970 Dodge Challenger--classic muscle car, what a damn shame). We bonded over a cold meatball sub, and right then, we both knew he was coming with me. I named him Pete, after all of my childhood pets, and dressed him up in my second-best T-shirt. I even learned to live with the fact that, whenever he picked his boogers, I could see the image of a soul screaming in eternal torment in each of them. After all, he told himself, there's only so many times you can pick dried-up flakes of demon saliva out of your wrist hairs before you know you have to make some pretty dramatic changes in your life.” - Jack Burton
