Overview

Ji Ending, also known as Judas, is an experimental genetically-engineered clone created by Bob Page. He serves as a prototype augmented solider (tertiary unit) for Majestic 12, similar to what was originally planned for Paul Denton (primary unit) JC Denton (secondary unit).

Personality

Ji is bright and enthusiastic, eager to prove himself not only to his mentors but to the Denton brothers. He is shy, yet friendly, with a naïve trust in authority, though that is likely due to successful indoctrination rather than innocence.

As Walton Simons initially serves as Ji's legal guardian and mentor, he idolises him, expression great devotion and obedience. His reverence towards Simons, as well as how he is treated by him, makes him imagine himself as a conscious doll rather than a person with agency. Simons exploits Ji's loyalty by entering into a romantic relationship with him that mixes indoctrination, paternalism and sexual exploitation. Ji shows both admiration and longing for Simons, while Simons projects his feelings for his ex-husband, Page, onto the boy.

Expectedly, this kind of upbringing and abuse from his initial caregivers ends up causing a great deal of trauma for Ji, who carries these emotional scars beneath his cheerful exterior.

Aside from his upbringing and general temperament, Page also implanted with the traumatic memories of a war criminal when he fully turned into the MJ12 soldier, ignoring Simon's concerns about how this would later affect Ji. This, in addition to his pre-existing trauma, left him vulnerable to instability and profound emotional and mental damage that cannot be healed easily.

History

While he is a clone, his genetic origin is ambiguous. His DNA is a mixture of that of Numair Abdelmalek and possibly Walton Simons, which were both, at some point, Bob Page's lovers. While this suggests Bob may have been protective and caring towards Ji--considering he is literally the manifestation of the love he had towards those other men--he seems to view him as little more than a tool.

Timeline

2050's

In 2052, while Page and Simons were discussing the progress of the augmentation progress, Page refers to Judas (Ji's codename) as the "tertiary unit" and appoints Simons as his legal guardian.

Once Ji was released and prepared, he was sent off to the UNATCO training facility to prepare for his final exam. Paul Denton and Dr. Jaime Reyes accompany him and introduce him to JC. The two recall that they went to school together in Switzerland, although it's uncertain whether that was a real memory the two shared or just implanted. Already, despite Ji's friendly demeanour, JC could sense something was a bit off about him.

Once it was time for Ji's entrance exam, Simons supervised the tasks that Ji had to show proficiency in. With ease, he demonstrates lockpicking, stealth, multitool use; and shows off some of his augmentations such as fireproof skin and a unique prototype that allows him to crawl vertically up walls. As a result, JC and Paul are both astonished by his abilities, and Page subsequently boasts about the success of his experimental technology.

Ji completes the trial enthusiastically, beaming under the praise of his creators. JC feels even more uneasy about this display, especially Simon's unsettling manner towards Ji. JC's trial was next, and as expected, he too passes the exam with flying colors. In the aftermath, the Dentons and Ji try to socialise , however Ji is soon taken away by a mysterious group of soldiers, who later turn out to be working for Majestic 12.

Paul later organised a small celebration for the new UNATCO recruits, with JC and Ji both being invited. Ji says something unusual in response; that he first needed to attend "business" for Simons, and blushed when pressed about it, implying that he was fulfilling secret duties or even being abused behind closed doors. Paul and JC notice his nervousness about the situation, but accept his explanation for declining.

Meanwhile, Page and Simons have another conference, this time discussing Ji's future. Simons seemed concerned, despite taking on an abusive role in Ji's life, when he learnt that Ji was implanted with the memories of a war criminal. Page dismissed Simons' concerns, and reminds him that Judas will become the perfect soldier, and his ultimate fate is to merge into their AI project once it is completed.
