Jackson is the elder of the twins and has always been his mothers favorite. Born in the cusp of a lavish lifestyle Jackson was spoiled from infancy. Jackson quickly learned that he was in competition with his elder brother Chauncey. Growing up Jackson became the brooding prince of the Devonshire family. His father saw great potential while Jackie loved Jackson the most and he knew it. Growing up in Atlas Falls, Jackson knew how to manipulate the system and became a troublemaker. He quickly became best friends with Hunter Kincaid, Simon Rutherford, and Mason Delacroix. The boys were team and often were in trouble together. In fact it was Simon who introduced him into the world of drugs. Due to the pressure from Lowell and the constant belittlement of Chauncey he became an avid user by high school. He had a long term crush on Dani Fraiser in high school that he never acted on. By his senior year he’d been to three rehab clinics.

In his freshman year of college Jackson would overdose while driving a car with his lover Cat Scottson inside of it. Cat was killed instantly and Jackson walked away with barely a scar. Lowell made this all disappear and he would dive deeper into drugs. Around this time he met Esme Russell the stunning French exchange student. Jackson would woo Esme and they would fall into a near semi-normal relationship though he still actively used and cheated on her not quite ready to settle down but feeling pressure he almost proposed. Jackson and Esme were together for a year until he met Skye Morgan again. Chauncey callously revealed that he and Esme had been sleeping together throughout his entire time with Esme and Jackson was crushed turning to Skye and drugs relentlessly. Which would lead to Skye running out of town due to Lowell’s interference. By the time Jackson got back into rehab, Esme was gone and he continued to sleep around and abuse drugs. Jackson would graduate and afterwards he’d try crystal meth and vanish. He would be found in Pittsburgh near death and Lowell and Jackie put him in rehab again. After a year of being gone he’s returning even though he has no intention to stop using.
