However, in his character description, his age group is marked simply as 'unknown'. If the former case is canon, his involvement in the 1985 Hawaiian conflict during Hotline Miami 2 implies that Jacket could be anywhere from 46 to 67 years of age by the time PAYDAY 2 took place, dependent upon his age of enlistment.Dennis Wedin of Dennaton Games left the relationship between the two up in the air when asked about it. Because of the large number of unknowns at hand, his relationship to the Hotline Miami Jacket remains uncertain.

While the files state that he might have been the very same person, it is also loosely suggested that the PAYDAY 2 Jacket is a separate individual inspired by the character's MO. With the release of the FBI Files, however, Jacket has been heavily implied to be a canon part of the PAYDAY universe. While Jacket is canon, Jacket's canonicity had been previously debated.It is also a simple rubber shell laid over the gang's usual ballistic masks instead of a fully-feathered one used in the source material. Jacket's mask in PAYDAY 2-related contents differs significantly from its home game counterpart, the rooster head being much larger and more rounded, while the cockscomb and wattle are smaller and much shorter in length.

As noted in the original Hotline Miami, 'Richard' could be Jacket's real first name, as the 50 Blessings organization names the animal masks in the game after their respective owners.Jacket is the only playable guest heister to originate from a video game.

For unknown reasons he remains completely mute and chooses to communicate only with the help of a tape recorder – playing back bits and pieces of language learning tapes, PAs and documentary narrations instead of speaking. His background in the military and his unflinching attitude towards over-the-top violence has made him an excellent hitman – or “messenger” as some like to call it. Allegedly, he once wiped out the entire Russian mafia in Miami all on his own. Although Jacket is the last one to brag – he doesn’t speak at all – his achievements in the criminal underworld are widely known.
