Overview

Ji Ending, also known as Judas, is an experimental genetically-engineered clone created by Bob Page. They serve 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).

Appearance

Ji was created as a biological female; however, as they identify as male, he is addressed in masculine or gender-neutral way.

He is described as physically attractive, androgynous and doll-like; displaying a combination of both feminine and masculine features. He also binds his chest, hiding away some of his more curvaceous features, as he doesn't feel comfortable presenting as female due to past trauma. He also uses his voice-modulator to render his voice in a lower and more masculine tone.

The sides of Ji's hair are usually blonde, though sometimes is seen with it dyed blue.

Ji wears sunglasses, like JC Denton, hiding his augmented eyes, which shine constantly, becoming brighter as Ji uses augmentations related to them. The same goes for the nanites under his skin, they are nor usually visible except for the lines and dots that glow when in action. To cover them, he wears tactical clothing covering most of his body under a large dark trench coat. When Ji is slightly older, he starts preferring a white trench coat with a hood.

On Ji's back, there are three circular sockets that enable him to connect with most machines.

Personality

Ji is bright and enthusiastic, eager to prove themselves not only to their 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, Ji idolises Simons, expressing 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 Ji.

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 their cheerful exterior.

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

When in missions, Ji prefers to use a non-lethal approach as he considers himself a pacifist. However, he has no problem using lethal force in crucial situations if needed.

History

While Ji is a clone, their genetic origin is ambiguous. Ji's 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 they are literally the manifestation of the love he had towards those other men--he seems to view Ji 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 their 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 them, and introduce them 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 them.

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 they were fulfilling secret duties or even being abused behind closed doors. Paul and JC notice Ji's nervousness about the situation, but accept their 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.

Trivia

  • "Mr. Ending" is just their codename; when asked about its meaning, Ji answers it's because "I've put an end to many stories".
  • While Ji does their best to see the bright side of things, Mr. Ending is a pessimist.
  • His favourite cuisines are Mexican and Chinese--and anything spicy.
  • Rarely smiles.
