Subject Zero’s Ordeal – Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 - Jack

Abducted from Eden Prime before the game’s events, Jack or Subject Zero was the focus of a Cerberus experiment for enhancing biotic power. She would be experimented on continuously throughout her childhood, facing all kinds of torture to see how it would impact her power. Other children were kept at the same facility and subsequently disposed of in bouts against Jack, while she was injected with substances to make her enjoy the killing.
