Jackson "Jake" Washington, known on Hunter-net as Bookworm55, is one of the Imbued, and the signature character for the Innocent creed. Jake had always been a bookworm, but at 18, in his first year at college in Boston, things were beginning to look up for him until the Messengers imbued him. His first experience of the supernatural was meeting a little dead girl; he found and tipped off the police about her murderer. He quickly found Hunter-net and made a few contacts among the Imbued, wanting to study and explore the new world he'd entered into, even though it frightened him. He made contact with a warlock he nicknamed "Purple" (because of the colour of his aura when using the Second Sight) and learned much from him.
