Jack, codename Raiden, is the main protagonist of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Upon becoming free, Raiden fought off the remaining Gekko and engaged Vamp in an intense knife fight, the contact between their weapons becoming so fierce at one point as to cause his sword to glow red hot.

Raiden was also similar to Gray Fox's adopted sister, Naomi, in that he was adopted by the same person who murdered his parents. Likewise, the "Eye" trailer[19] mentioned that the damage to Raiden's left eye was irreparable due to the optical nerve being completely destroyed, resulting in it having to be removed. Blade Wolf then explained to Raiden that people are different. His eye after his upgrade in 2018 occasionally turned crimson when being deployed or when about to undergo a deadly maneuver, a side effect of his eye being modified with an optical implant.

Sunny later informed Raiden about the gate, and informed him that she'd send an invoice requiring Raiden to pay for the repair and reinforcement costs, causing Raiden to lament that Rose would most likely "kill" him for the expenses. Raiden took to the mission with some hesitation, claiming to have only been trained in VR missions (some of which didn't cover vital materials such as disposing of C4). He began viewing himself as being "part of the 2%" of people who take joy in murdering enemies upon making their first kill in the battlefield.

One of Raiden's nicknames was White Devil. However, N'mani had a good sense of humor to jokingly call him "Mr. He later revealed this to the Colonel, who was surprised, since there wasn't supposed to be anyone other than Raiden who should have infiltrated the base.

Instead, he decided to hold the Haven Troopers off and buy Snake enough time to reach the AI and upload the virus. He then killed Monsoon, although he vowed to Kevin after the battle that he won't let anyone else become like him.
