Jack Mason

Jack Mason is a character from the story Something to Be. He is best known as the human alter ego of the demon Delezar and the love interest of Melinda Halliwell.

Character Background
Jack Mason Turner - also known as the demon Delezar - was born on July 2, 2005 to Aliah, an upper-level demon who marries and mates with dark beings of great power. He grew up without knowing the identity of his biological father but it later becomes known he is the only son of Cole Turner.

Jack was raised as both a human and as a demon so that he would one day be a dual threat. He attended mortal school in Texas before going to college at Northwestern University where he graduated with a degree in journalism. Jack worked in Seattle before moving to San Francisco and writing for the Bay Mirror with Sam.

At some point, Aliah married the demon and later Source of All Evil, Malum. One of Malum's first acts was to ressurect the Brotherhood of Thorn and it is implied that he used Jack to do so. Jack is put in charge of the Brotherhood of Thorn and has also been assigned by Malum to go undercover and infiltrate the Halliwell family.

It is revealed in the episode "All My Secrets" that Jack is the son of Cole Turner.

Jack is also revealed to have an older brother named Damien Mason. He is released from a mental facility by Malum in the episode "Good Times Gonna Come."

Relationship With Melinda
Jack originally came in contact with Melinda Halliwell when she was visiting Sam at the Bay Mirror office ("Something to Believe"). He was obviously taken by her from the start. It can be inferred that he wasn't just trying to get close to the Halliwells by dating her because he could have easily gone after another sister (including Sam) but he uses this as a cover with Malum and Aliah.

The two share their first kiss in the episode "Semi Charmed Life" on New Year's Eve. After this they begin dating more extensively. When Jack falls ill with the epidemic after Malum poisons him, Melinda tells Jack she loves him for the first time.

Jack often avoids Melinda's suspicions, especially when he is trying to help Dr. Salt escape Malum ("The Devil's Thunder"). Melinda begins to believe he may be a threat when she finds money and an athame in his desk. On Valentine's Day she is nearly killed by Aliah who is stopped by Cole Turner. When Jack finds out he decides to leave the Brotherhood of Thorn.

In the episode "Good Times Gonna Come" Malum sends someone to kill Melinda as she is getting in the way of Jack performing his assignment. She is stabbed inbetween classes at Golden Gate High School. Prior to being attacked she confronts Jack about his identity. He nearly tells her who he really is before they are interrupted by a student.

Melinda nearly dies from the attack. When Jack shows up at the hospital is confronted by Chris and Wyatt who fight him in the lobby and try to force him out. Jack stays and inadvertently reveals Bianca's identity to Chris when he overhears the two of them talking.

Jack breaks up with Melinda, believing it is in her best interest that he stay away and keep her from danger.

Powers
Jack is at least half-demonic. His mother Aliah is a half-demon and his father Cole is either half or entirely demonic. Because of this Jack is extremely powerful. He isn't near as powerful as Cole but certainly more powerful than his father was when he started his career as a member of the Brotherhood of Thorn.

Aside from being able to shimmer, Jack can also produce fire and energy balls. He has the power of telekinesis and sensing. Jack has shown some abilities of inhuman strength as well which isn't surprising considering his lineage.

Personality & Relationship with Family
Early on Jack is introduced as a rather nervous, shy, bashful sort of character. Sam describes him as a genuinely nice guy and he appears so as he courts Melinda.
