Both are mysterious, blond-haired, quiet men known by an iconic jacket who are capable of committing acts of extreme violence.

Expy: A rather blatant one of The Driver.

Empowered Badass Normal: What the masks do to him.

Demoted to Extra: His role in the sequel is much smaller, which makes sense considering he's a death-row inmate the entire game after everything he did in the first installment.Notably, this is the canon version of events. While Jacket gets more focus, it is the Biker that actually gets to the bottom of the mystery while Jacket plays right into the Janitors' plans. It gets defaced by vandals late in the game. Wrong Number indicates that Jacket also had a political bias against the Russians, due to the nuking of San Fransico which killed his friend Beard. His primary motivation is to avenge Hooker's death at the hands of the Russian mafia. Cocky Rooster: Invoked with his trademark rooster mask.Some of his hallucinations suggest that he even feels remorse for doing so. Justified as the dogs wouldn't have spared him anyways. Bad People Abuse Animals: His killing spree don't spare security dogs.He seems to have gotten himself together in the sequel, judging by his trial, but exactly what's going on in his head is still unclear.

Adventures in Comaland: What the Dream Apartment ultimately turns out to be for him.

The only thing that keeps him from straight-up Villain Protagonist territory are his friends, who keep him grounded in reality and give him a sympathetic motivation once they're axed off.

Anti-Hero: Yeah, most of the people he kills are criminal scumbags, but the manner in which he kills them is so brutal that he's an Unscrupulous Hero at the very best and a Nominal Hero at the very worst.

He also periodically experiences strange nightmares where he's visited by a trio of masked figures. At some point, he gained the attention of a mysterious person or group that sent him a chicken mask, along with letters and phone calls encouraging him to kill Russian Mobsters and threatening consequences should he not comply. A military veteran in a varsity jacket, hence the nickname.
