Jak is the main protagonist of Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter platform series, which begins with The Precursor Legacy in 2001. He is a human youth chosen by the Precursors to safeguard the world. Born Mar in Haven City, the son of Damas, he was taken back in time by Count Veger as a small child and raised in Sandover Village by Samos Hagai.

Jak is known for eco channeling, his Dark Jak and Light Jak transformations, and his strong vehicle and racing skills. Baron Praxis's dark eco experiments changed him and gave him a reckless temper, and his grudge against Praxis drives much of his story. His best friend Daxter, an ottsel since their first adventure, supplies the good-natured back-and-forth that keeps him grounded.
