'''Jason Peter Kane''' (previously '''Summerfield-Kane''') was a [[crime|criminal]] and [[author]] who had a long and complicated relationship with [[Bernice Summerfield]] which involved a brief [[marriage]].
 
Following a period of time living adrift in the [[multiverse]], Jason lived and worked at the [[Braxiatel Collection]] with Bernice in the [[2600s]] and helped raise her son, [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]]. He became a famous author of [[Xenopornography|xenopornographic]] [[literature]] and eventually became aware of [[Irving Braxiatel]]'s many changes to the [[timeline]], including preventing Jason and Benny's remarriage and the birth of their children, [[Keith Branigan Kane-Summerfield|Keith]] and [[Rebecca Kane-Summerfield|Rebecca]].
 
Jason investigated Braxiatel and confronted him about his wrongdoings, threatening to tell Benny about them. To prevent this, Braxiatel [[hypnosis|hypnotised]] Peter into killing him.


== Biography ==
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
=== Childhood ===
Jason Kane was born to [[Peter Kane]] and his wife on [[24 December]] [[1983]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad]]'') He grew up sixty or seventy miles outside of [[London]].
Jason was born on [[24 December]] [[1983]] to [[Peter Kane]] and [[Peter Kane's wife|his wife]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad]]'') He had a sister, [[Lucy Kane|Lucy]], and grew up in a mock Tudor estate in the [[England|English]] countryside, sixty or seventy [[mile]]s outside of [[London]]. Perhaps because he lost [[Peter Kane's father|his own father]] in [[World War II]], Peter beat Jason and Lucy ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') as well as their mother, and Jason once had to go to the [[hospital]] with a broken [[arm]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Two Jasons (novel)|The Two Jasons]]'')
 
Jason's parents only took him to the [[beach]] once and he collected a lump of [[seaweed]] which he put on the end of his [[bed]] to see if it would [[rain]]. When his father finished beating him with a [[belt]], he would run upstairs and smell the seaweed, reminding him of the one day that he was happy. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape]]'') He also found comfort in his favourite book, ''[[The Magician's Nephew]]'', identifying with Digory and wanting a girlfriend like Polly, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'') and read [[comic book]]s about [[Union Jack Jackson]] fighting the [[Japan]]ese. He collected [[action figure]]s and hung them from his bedroom ceiling to save on shelf space. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Two Jasons (novel)|The Two Jasons]]'')
 
As a birthday present, Jason asked for and received a [[word processor]]. He was isolated, friendless and wanted to be a [[politics|political]] [[author]], believing that he could be the next [[Harlan Ellison]] and using his [[school]] essays as an opportunity to do so. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The End of the World (audio story)|The End of the World]]'') He saw a [[pillbox]] on the beach when he was young ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Oblivion (novel)|Oblivion]]'') and imagined that it might have weapons inside which he could take home with a specific target in mind. He made a [[den]] in the pillbox and stayed there whilst playing truant, often because he had wounds that he could not explain away. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Two Jasons (novel)|The Two Jasons]]'')
 
He had underdeveloped anti-[[capitalism|capitalist]] views and was determined to be very nice should he ever meet a black person, an occurrence made unlikely by his white, middle-class background. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The End of the World (audio story)|The End of the World]]'') When he did meet the only black person at his school, he spoke with her and was mocked as a result. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Two Jasons (novel)|The Two Jasons]]'') His only exposure to [[cricket]] was watching from beyond the boundary on occasion and paying no attention to matches on the [[television]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') He once had a girlfriend called [[Kara (Death and Diplomacy)|Kara]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')
 
=== Life on the streets ===
Due to his father's abuse, Jason ran away shortly before turning thirteen, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The End of the World (audio story)|The End of the World]]'') walking five miles to the nearest town before leaving. Over the course of two and a half years, he wandered around [[Yorkshire]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') [[Piccadilly]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beyond the Sun (novel)|Beyond the Sun]]'') and [[Mile End]], staying at places such as [[Centrepoint]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') and felt guilty for leaving his sister behind. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'') At the age of fourteen, he attempted to [[tattoo]] himself with a [[doornail]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')
 
Jason worked as a [[prostitute]] to make [[money]], mostly catering to older male clientele, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'') and spent his time "smoking [[Yorkie]] foil". He had relationships with [[Beth (Death and Diplomacy)|Beth]], [[Danny (Death and Diplomacy)|Danny]], [[Susan 1 (Death and Diplomacy)|Susan]], [[Lisa (Death and Diplomacy)|Lisa]], [[Carla (Death and Diplomacy)|Carla]] and [[Sean (Death and Diplomacy)|Sean]] before staying in [[Danielle (Death and Diplomacy)|Danielle]], [[Mo (Death and Diplomacy)|Mo]] and [[Susan 2 (Death and Diplomacy)|another Susan]]'s [[squat]] in [[Euston]] for four months. After being kicked out, he had relationships with [[Kimberly (Death and Diplomacy)|Kimberly]], [[Micqui (Death and Diplomacy)|Micqui]], [[Justin (Death and Diplomacy)|Justin]], [[Peter (Death and Diplomacy)|Peter]], [[Carmel (Death and Diplomacy)|Carmel]] and [[Louise (Death and Diplomacy)|Louise]], the last of whom got him into [[celibacy]] for a time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')
 
=== Life in the Cluster ===
On [[24 December]] [[1996]], Jason was caught in a [[transmat]] beam set up by [[Shug (Death and Diplomacy)|Shug]] and was transported to [[t'Kao]] in the [[Dagellan Cluster]]. He got a lift off of the planet on an ore processor, taking Shug as a [[pet]], and spent several years travelling around the Cluster in a second-hand ship that he acquired. He learnt to speak [[Basic (language)|Basic]] and carried a small-gauge [[microflenser]]. During his time in space, he heard talk of [[Time Lord]]s, [[Dalek]]s ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') and [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus]]'') and celebrated his twenty-first birthday in a bar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Two Jasons (novel)|The Two Jasons]]'')
 
Jason had relationships with [[Rana (Death and Diplomacy)|Rana]], [[Liva (Death and Diplomacy)|Liva]], [[Sali (Death and Diplomacy)|Sali]], [[Moiara (Death and Diplomacy)|Moiara]], [[Kamo (Death and Diplomacy)|Kamo]] and [[Sai d'RaKosh (Death and Diplomacy)|Sai d'RaKosh]], among others. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') One way that he earnt money was by continuing prostitution. His clients included a [[Denebian]] whom he charged before being beaten up by him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'') He once barely managed to escape with his life after giving a [[smile]] to a [[Fnarok]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') and had a bar fight on [[Squaxis]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'')
 
[[File:Death & Diplomacy cover art.jpg|thumb|left|Jason with Benny. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')]]
On [[Denaria VII]], Jason was mugged in a back [[alley]] and had his [[money]], [[identification]], [[shoe]]s and copy of ''The Magician's Nephew'' stolen. By this point, he had memorised all of his favourite passages from the book and he would later look back and think about how lucky he had been to survive the experience. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'')
 
Fifteen years after arriving in the Cluster, Jason met [[Bernice Summerfield]], the first [[human]] he had encountered in space, and fled [[Jaris (planet)|Jaris]] with her without paying his docking fees. He refused to take her to the [[summit]] and, after saving her life from [[asphyxiation]], defrauding a [[casino]] on [[Makrath]] and having [[sex]], he left her behind on [[Kalas]], only to return for her and take her to the summit. [[Shug (Death and Diplomacy)|Shug]] attempted to kill him on the way and, after he was defeated, Benny informed [[Chris Cwej]] and [[Roz Forrester]] that Jason had proposed to her and that she had accepted. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')
 
=== Marriage to Benny ===
The [[Seventh Doctor]] took Jason and Benny to [[Cheldon Bonniface]] to be [[marriage|wed]] on [[24 April]] [[2010]]. The two argued a lot prior to the day but, after defeating [[The Master (First Frontier)|the Master]], the two were married using [[Time Ring]]s gifted to them by the Doctor, who had been given them by [[The Doctor (Battlefield)|his final incarnation]]. Although Benny initially insisted that Jason take the name "Kane-Summerfield" whilst she took "Summerfield-Kane", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') they ended up doing the opposite, with Jason becoming "Jason Summerfield-Kane". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')
 
For their [[honeymoon]], the Doctor took the newlyweds to [[Plautus]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') where Jason gave Benny a tiny [[Bible]] and a [[hair slide]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'') When she moaned about never having completed her [[doctorate]], he quoted a female [[author]], saying "''It's never too late to be what you might have been''". This motivated her to finally write her [[thesis]], with Jason being willing to live with her in a [[tent]] on [[Youkali Six]] whilst she did so. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beyond the Sun (novel)|Beyond the Sun]]'') They lived there for a number of months.
 
Jason and Benny decided to have a child, choosing the baby names Keith for a boy and Dorothy for a girl, and tried for one during the Youkali [[autumn]] without success. Afraid that they might not be able to have children naturally, they considered [[adoption]] but, given their respective pasts, they found it unlikely that they would be accepted as adoptive parents. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'') Whilst Jason wanted to have a child, he was scared that he might turn out like his father. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'')
 
In [[2587]], Jason and Benny were reunited with the Doctor, Chris and Roz and travelled back in time to [[1983]] to meet Benny's father, [[Isaac Summerfield II|Isaac Summerfield]]. Jason considered visiting his own father to get [[revenge]] upon him. In the past, a ghost handed Jason and Benny an eighteen-month-old child, [[Keith Branigan Kane-Summerfield|Keith]], who later faded away. Upon returning to 2587, Jason continued to help Benny achieve her PhD. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')
 
[[File:Jason and Benny wedding.jpg|thumb|right|Jason and Benny at their wedding. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'')]]
Remaining on Youkali Six, Jason and Benny moved from their [[tent]] to a rental academic house and were visited by the Doctor and Chris after Roz's death. Jason chose to go to the [[Tent of Ill Repute]] with Chris rather than watch the Doctor's recording of her [[funeral]], later sitting awkwardly with Chris as Chris poured out his feelings and finding a [[wheelchair]] to be fixed up for the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'') Another account, however, claimed that Jason had indeed attended the funeral.
 
Jason and Benny once visited [[South Africa]] and found themselves stranded due to an [[outbreak]] of [[Ebola]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'') When Benny eventually [[graduation|graduated]], Jason attended the ceremony. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beyond the Sun (novel)|Beyond the Sun]]'') However, he began to find that their sex life was becoming boring, something that he saw as a sign of the marriage not working. The two went on [[holiday]] to [[2003]] using their Time Rings and, following an argument, joined separate expeditions to find [[Noah's Ark]] in [[Turkey (country)|Turkey]]. They eventually used their rings to call in the Doctor and Chris and worked with them to stop [[Agent Yellow]], Jason accidentally causing the situation in an attempt to prevent it from happening and finally wiping out the [[Cthalctose]].
 
Because of a number of reasons, including Benny lying about being [[pregnancy|pregnant]] in order to manipulate Jason into arming the [[bomb]]s, the pair decided to get a [[divorce]] whilst on [[the Moon]]. Jason returned his Time Ring and chose to stay on Earth in 2003 to help with the aftermath that he himself had created, saying that, unlike his father, he did not shirk his responsibilities. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'') They had a divorce ceremony after which they parted ways. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beyond the Sun (novel)|Beyond the Sun]]'')
 
=== Travels in time ===
After returning to the 26th century, Jason resumed his life of [[crime]] and began a criminal and sexual relationship with [[Iranda]], whom he met on [[Denaria 7]]. They assisted the [[Sunless]] by negotiating for the return of their stolen [[weapon]]s until Jason realised that Iranda was planning on reassembling a particularly powerful one and fled with a [[figurine]] believed to be its key, taking it to Benny on [[Apollox 4]] after looking for her at [[St Oscar's University]]. The pair had sex and, hours later, he was kidnapped by Iranda and taken to the [[Sunless homeworld]] from which Benny eventually rescued him. Following the activation of the device, which restored the planet's [[star|sun]], Jason asked Benny if she would like to go for [[dinner]] or a drink, but she declined. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beyond the Sun (novel)|Beyond the Sun]]'')
 
Several months later, Jason was paid by [[WiRgo!xue]] and [[!Ci!ci-tel]] to steal [[Bernice Summerfield's Time Ring|Benny's Time Ring]] to create a [[Time Path]] to [[Babylon]]. They took him there against his will and restrained him with [[smart rope]], but he tricked !Ci!ci-tel and escaped by pretending that he was dying of [[heartbreak]] after hearing of Benny kissing [[John Lafayette]]. He was knocked out whilst trying to save Benny and Lafayette and taken to [[Ninan-ashtammu|Ninan]], whom he paid for [[Miriam (Walking to Babylon)|Miriam]]'s freedom before he and Benny re-entered the Time Path and were knocked off-course by [[Oran!ci-zing]]'s [[singularity bomb]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Walking to Babylon (audio story)|Walking to Babylon]]'') According to another account, Benny had this adventure later in her timeline and without Jason. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Walking to Babylon (novel)|Walking to Babylon]]'')
 
The Time Path connected with the [[Great Divide (Birthright)|Great Divide]] and sent Jason and Benny to either end, with Jason arriving on [[Earth]] in [[22000]] whilst Benny arrived in [[1909]]. Jason was captured by the [[Charrl]] and, threatened with being eaten, told [[Ch'tizz|Queen Ch'tizz]] about his and Benny's Time Rings and how they could be used to stabilise the Great Divide so that the Charrl could conquer Earth in 1909 and make it their new home. With [[Isk]]'s help, he convinced Ch'tizz into letting him go to 1909 to steal Benny's ring and later joined Benny in moving the Great Divide so that the Charrl could live on [[Analaya VI]], although the process was disrupted by [[Jared Khan]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Birthright (audio story)|Birthright]]'') According to a separate account, Benny experienced this adventure whilst travelling with the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]], before meeting Jason. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Birthright (novel)|Birthright]]'')
 
Jason arrived on [[Guernsey]] in [[1936]] and met [[Emil Hartung]], whom he drunkenly told about his travels, the [[chronokinetiscope]] and [[radar]]. With no sign of Benny, he travelled to [[England]] and, with [[Mikhail Vladimir Popov]]'s help, joined the [[Scientific Intelligence Division]] and became a [[captain]], initially hoping to use his knowledge of the future to change the course of [[World War II]]. In [[March]] [[1945]], he returned to Guernsey and was reunited with Benny, with whom he stole and destroyed an [[aeroplane]] built by Hartung, and killed [[Joachim Wolff]] when he taunted him about Benny's [[torture]]. They returned to St Oscar's and Jason attempted to rekindle their relationship, but Benny wished, at that time, to be left alone with [[Wolsey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'') One account held that Benny had this adventure during her travels with the Doctor, [[Roz Forrester|Roz]] and [[Chris Cwej|Chris]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'')
 
When Benny explained to Jason that she intended to go back in time to alter the history of [[Panos]] by saving [[Isabella Hescarty]] or killing [[Ulrich Hescarty|Ulrich]], Jason agreed that it was the right thing to do and gave her his Time Ring as requested. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Closure (audio story)|Closure]]'')
 
Still hoping to repair their relationship, Jason visited Benny at St Oscar's and tricked her into using their Time Rings to take them to [[Paris]] in [[1899]], but her attempts to cancel mid-[[time jump]] resulted in them arriving in [[Bournemouth]] in the [[2160s]]. They were separated when Jason, his [[ankle]] twisted, was taken by [[Kerrigan]] and [[Davina Kerrigan|Davina]] for his own safety before the [[Grel]] appeared. He followed the captured Benny to [[Dunstable]] in a [[hot air balloon]] and, after she released the [[Extra-Strong Fact-Removal Gas]], they returned to [[Dellah]] thanks to the [[amnesia]]c Grel. There, Benny told him that there was little hope for the two of them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Grel Invasion of Earth (audio story)|The Grel Invasion of Earth]]'')
 
=== Crimes and gods ===
Jason was hired by the [[Knights of Jeneve]] to look into the Baygent Apotheosis, accepting the job in order to protect Benny and because he knew that Chris was involved. He visited Benny and [[Irving Braxiatel]] at St Oscar's and stole the co-ordinates of [[Ardethe]], unaware that they were incorrect, and headed there with [[Emile Mars-Smith]], being led by a distress call to an unconscious Chris. To help [[Charlene Connor]] start a new life, Jason agreed to marry her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deadfall (novel)|Deadfall]]'') The two wed, but their arrangement allowed for Jason to continue to have sex with others. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Oblivion (novel)|Oblivion]]'')
 
Jason eventually "finished" with Charley, after which he took up rock climbing as a way to meet new people and was attracted to his instructor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twilight of the Gods (BNA novel)|Twilight of the Gods]]'')
 
Two years after last having sex with Benny (from her perspective), a woman in the [[Proximan Chain-rafts]] flirted with Jason and stole his travelling [[money]], leaving him stranded until [[Sgloomi Po]] picked him, Chris and Benny up for assistance. He refused to answer Benny's questions about his wife, telling her that she had no idea what she was talking about and, after being hooked up to [[virtual reality]] where he was imprisoned and [[rape]]d, he headed for the [[Catan Nebula]] to deal with some "unfinished business". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Oblivion (novel)|Oblivion]]'')
 
Jason wrote a [[Xenopornography|xenopornographic]] [[autobiography]] called ''[[Nights of the Perfumed Tentacle]]'' with certain parts, including references to Benny, excised. He bumped into Benny on [[Mars]] and, hoping for reconciliation and after having [[sex]] in his hotel room, agreed to stay to investigate [[Isaac Denikin]]'s [[death]]. He was arrested after breaking into the police station looking for evidence and was bailed out by Benny. Before leaving Mars, Jason and Benny established that there was hope for the two of them in the future. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Beige Planet Mars (novel)|Beige Planet Mars]]'')
 
In the [[Proximan Chain]] with his friend [[Mira (Ship of Fools)|Mira]], Jason caught wind of the [[Stratum Seven agent]]'s search for Benny and, learning that he was a bioweapon from the [[Catan Nebula]], lured the him to a meeting where Mira was able to use her [[telepathy]] to confirm that he meant Benny no harm. He realised that Benny had "done a [[Mary-Sue]]" after reading references to [[Rebecca (doll)|Rebecca]] in Benny's diary and, with the agent and Mira, headed to [[Beta Caprisis]] where he was able to reawaken her true self. After defeating the [[Ferutu]] on [[Thanaxos]] with Emile, the group returned Emile to his [[exile]] and Jason and Mira left in the ''[[Star of Afrique]]'' with [[Kimo Ani]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mary-Sue Extrusion (novel)|The Mary-Sue Extrusion]]'')
 
Mira eventually parted ways with Jason. After [[Kebara]] took Jason's form and was killed by Benny, Braxiatel tracked him down and had Chris bring him to [[KS-159]] to help with the [[paranoia]] that [[parasite (Tears of the Oracle)|a parasite]] was causing her to feel, but she initially believed that he was an impostor. He later went with her, Braxiatel and [[B-Aaron]] to the [[Oracle of the Lost]] to find out if war between [[the People]] and the [[Time Lord]]s had been averted and suggested that he and Benny get remarried, but she did not yet have an answer for him and pretended to be asleep. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tears of the Oracle (novel)|Tears of the Oracle]]'')
 
When Benny arranged to leave the [[Braxiatel Collection]] for [[Virabilis]], Jason was, like Braxiatel, [[Clarence]] and Cwej, worried that she would have too good a time and not return. To prevent this, he and Clarence travelled to Virabilis ahead of her and ensured that her trip was as boring as possible through [[bribery|bribing]] and intimidating those around her and [[Dent Harper]], of whom he was somewhat jealous. After infiltrating [[Rula Winther]]'s Cartel as "Professor Fred Bloggs" and eventually coming into possession of [[Dorpfeld's Prism]], he kept Benny and Harper from having [[sex]] and returned to the Collection before her, claiming ignorance of her adventure. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Joy Device (novel)|The Joy Device]]'')
 
=== Other worlds ===
{{Section stub|Further info from ''[[The Door into Bedlam (short story)|The Door into Bedlam]]'' and ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus (novel)|The Infernal Nexus]]'' needs to be added}}
Jason agreed to help save [[Dellah]] from the [[Doomsday Probe]] by transported it into the universe of the [[Ferutu]] using a [[transference node]]. Whilst [[Chris Cwej|Cwej]] and [[Clarence]] recovered [[Teran Sevic]], Jason and Benny went to [[Casmov power station]] to activate the node, but he was badly injured by [[Tehke]] and sent by Benny to safety, although not before he made her admit that she loved him. He was captured by the Ferutu and used as a bargaining chip against Benny, but she placed the fate of the universe over him and left him as the Ferutu's prisoner, held in case his knowledge or experience could help them get to and colonise his universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twilight of the Gods (VNA novel)|Twilight of the Gods]]'')
 
[[File:Infernal Nexus art.jpg|thumb|left|Jason and Benny fleeing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus (novel)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus]]'')]]
Caught in a state of flux, Jason wandered between [[dimension]]s for several years, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus (novel)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus]]'') driven by the thought of seeing Benny again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters]]'') He spent a lot of time in [[Hell]] and did not age thanks to the [[Gilhooly Theory of Transdimensional Contrivance]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus (novel)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus]]'') He met [[Agragazar Fletchcock]] and began working for him in order to get home, ultimately missing what seemed to be his one opportunity to do so, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Door into Bedlam (short story)|The Door into Bedlam]]'') and worked for [[Volan Sleed]] when he took over. He was finally able to return home through [[Station Control]] and was reunited with Benny.
 
Following the end of his contract, Jason declined Fletchcock's offer of re-employment and reluctantly accepted Benny's offer of accommodation at the [[Braxiatel Collection]]. They tentatively began to rekindle their relationship, although this was further complicated when Benny realised that she was pregnant with [[Adrian Wall]]'s child. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus (novel)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus]]'')
 
=== Becoming a father ===
Jason supported Benny through her [[pregnancy]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters]]'') but was jealous of Adrian and argued with him about their respective roles during the birth regardless of Benny's own wishes. He took to getting [[Inebriation|drunk]] in [[bar]]s and having casual [[sex]], inadvertently putting his ex-wife in danger when he drunkenly told the [[cult]]ist [[Marianne (The Glass Prison)|Marianne]] about Benny and her child. Braxiatel took Jason and Adrian to her after she had given birth to her son, [[Peter Summerfield|Peter Guy Summerfield]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Glass Prison (novel)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Glass Prison]]'')
 
Because of how [[Peter Kane|his own father]] had been, Jason felt determined to play a positive role in Peter's life and saw himself as his father. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape]]'')
 
[[File:The Green-Eyed Monsters cover art.jpg|thumb|right|Jason and Adrian arguing over [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters]]'')]]
Peter's birth did nothing to stop Jason and Adrian's arguing, leading Benny to put them both in charge of looking after him whilst she went to [[Goron IV]]. They were attacked and Peter [[kidnapping|kidnapped]], but Jason, deducing that the kidnappers were local after checking the Collection's transit [[database]], threatened [[Sloaty]] with the [[Plague Dogs]] and Peter was returned. Using a [[spaceship]] borrowed from the Plague Dogs, Jason and Adrian travelled to Goron IV and saved Benny from [[Ashantra du Lac]]. Although they had opened up to one another during the journey, Jason later attempted to take all of the credit and started an argument with Adrian. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters]]'')
 
Benny was able to persuade Jason to use their Time Rings to take them back to the [[21st century]] in search of [[Britney Spears]] [[CD]]s for the Collection. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Mutual Friend (short story)|A Mutual Friend]]'') He found a [[diary]] entry of Benny's saying that she was trapped in the past and used his Time Ring to activate a [[time machine]] in the [[Pons Asinorum]], transporting him to a luxurious and fully-stocked [[spacecraft]]. He proceeded to write a similar diary entry which led Benny to him, allowing them to escape using their Time Rings. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Collection (short story)|The Collection]]'')
 
Jason and Benny fell through a mirror in the Collection and entered another world into which they were soon followed by Braxiatel and Adrian. Jason became suspicious of Braxiatel due to how much he knew about the mirror and because the mirror-world seemed to have no dark side for him, prompting Braxiatel to [[hypnosis|hypnotise]] him to forget his suspicions and to suffer [[migraine]]s whenever they resurfaced. Upon returning, Braxiatel had him sent to a medical [[satellite]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Mirror Effect (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Mirror Effect]]'')
 
Eventually, Jason recovered and returned to the Collection, making Benny reluctant to travel to [[Chosan (planet)|Chosan]] and be separated from him and Peter. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Poison Seas (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Poison Seas]]'')
 
=== The Axis occupation ===
When the [[Fifth Axis]] invaded and occupied the Braxiatel Collection, Jason pretended to collaborate with the enemy and began wearing an Axis uniform ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Fall (short story)|The Fall]]'') with a fat suit made of [[polymimetic ceramaline]]. He arranged for [[hybrid]] children living on the Collection to be kept safe in a [[bunker]] to be cared for by allies from off-world, also ensuring that the parents pretended not to know what had happened to them in order to keep the operation secret. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Suffer the Children (short story)|Suffer the Children]]'')
 
He accompanied the Axis [[soldier]]s ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Careless Talk (short story)|Careless Talk]]'') and was charged with directing a group of [[Thoolmid]]s as they worked. To maintain the allusion, he approached Benny upon spotting her and told her that she did not understand what the Axis were doing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lockdown Conversations: 1 (short story)|Lockdown Conversations: 1]]'') He, Benny and [[Mushtaq Anson]] greeted [[Kellarn|"Leo Didas"]] when he arrived at the Collection and wondered about Benny's enthusiasm during a tour that they gave him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Price of Everything (short story)|The Price of Everything]]'') He arranged for the [[Killoran]]s to work directly under him, meaning that they would not be sent off-world, and mistreated Adrian. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lockdown Conversations: 2 (short story)|Lockdown Conversations: 2]]'') He later spoke with [[Ash Madai]] at a bar and cried due to his powers. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Midrash (short story)|Midrash]]'')
 
[[File:Jason and Benny Death and the Daleks.jpg|thumb|left|Jason and Benny running from [[Dalek]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death and the Daleks (audio story)|Death and the Daleks]]'')]]
Jason received the [[Cluster of Moral Rectitude]] (Third Class) for his work in procurement and was the guest of honour at an Axis party, disgusting Benny. When she confronted him about the missing hybrid children, he told her the truth and explained what he had been doing during the occupation, taking her to the bunker and executing a number of soldiers who followed them there. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Suffer the Children (short story)|Suffer the Children]]'') His allies began talks with the Resistance and he had Peter moved to the bunker when [[Bernard Moskof]] seemed suspicious. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Drinking with the Enemy (short story)|Drinking with the Enemy]]'')


Peter Kane's father had died during [[World War II]], a trauma that Jason speculated may have been partially responsible for Peter's abusive and sadistic personality. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Just War (audio story)|Just War]]'') Whatever the cause, Peter Kane viciously abused his son Jason and his daughter [[Lucy Kane|Lucy]], prompting Jason to run away when he was nearly fourteen years old. Jason walked five miles to the nearest town and left. He spent two and half years wandering around [[Yorkshire]], [[Centrepoint]] and [[Mile End]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')
Jason assisted Benny in her plan to download the Axis security systems ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lockdown Conversations: 4 (short story)|Lockdown Conversations: 4]]'') and located [[Isaac Summerfield II|Isaac Summerfield]] on [[Heaven (Love and War)|Heaven]]. He accompanied Benny there and fought the [[Dalek]]s before sending a message that caused his mercenaries and the Resistance to attack the Axis, leading to its liberation. Afterwards, Benny told him that she wanted to get back together with him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death and the Daleks (audio story)|Death and the Daleks]]'')


=== Life in space ===
=== Post-liberation ===
In [[1996]], Jason inadvertently left his own era and planet — for good. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy]]'') On his way to Oxford Street, he was caught in an alien [[transport beam]] and was transported to an alien swamp on the planet [[t'Kao]], in the latter half of the [[26th century]]. From t'Kao, he hitched a ride aboard an ore processor. He spent around fifteen years in space.
Left without a [[gardener]] following [[Crofton|Mister Crofton]]'s death, Braxiatel put Jason in charge of looking after the Collection's grounds whilst searching for a replacement. He remained in contact with [[Veronica Bland]] during his adventures off-world, giving her a list of priorities whilst he was away, and was being attacked by lizard women when she called him during a meeting of the heads of department. Veronica took on the role before her [[death]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Braxiatel in Love (audio story)|Braxiatel in Love]]'')


During his travels, Jason acquired a ship about the size of a Boeing 747, minus one engine. It was considered quite old for the era. He had heard of the [[Time Lord]]s. By the time he met [[Bernice Summerfield]], Jason had slept with at least fifteen humans (male and female) and at least six aliens.{{Fact}}
Jason wanted to restore a sense of normality following the occupation and gave [[Bernice Summerfield's Time Ring|Benny's Time Ring]] to Peter to try to take him to [[20th century]] [[Earth]]. Instead, Peter transported himself, Jason, Benny, [[Joseph (Steal from the World)|Joseph]] and [[Sophia (The Glass Prison)|Sophia]] across [[time]] and [[space]] whilst [[Grel]] from [[2648]] pursued them in a [[Grel time machine|time machine]] to capture and study Peter. Jason and Benny learnt from [[Bernice Summerfield (robot)|a robot duplicate of Benny]] that the two of them would remarry in the future and, after Peter was temporarily aged by the Time Rings and became violent, they vowed that they would raise him right. The Time Rings having been destroyed to restore Peter, the group returned to [[2603]] in the Grel time machine. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape]]'')


=== Marriage ===
[[File:Collection staff.jpg|thumb|right|Jason with his family and colleagues. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Life Worth Living (anthology)|A Life Worth Living]]'')]]
Benny and Jason fell in love because they both tried to sabotage their relationships and it confused them. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy]]'') The couple were married in [[2010]] in the village [[Cheldon Bonniface]], [[England]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings]]'') Jason accompanied Bernice to Earth in the mid 1980s to meet her formerly lost father, [[Isaac Summerfield II|Isaac]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')
At [[Christmas]], Jason set up a [[treasure]] hunt for Benny which led her to the [[Eighth Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[...Be Forgot (short story)|...Be Forgot]]'') Braxiatel gave Jason a job as his "[[consultant]]", a job without a real description and which he suspected meant that he would be tasked with stealing artefacts for the Collection. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misplaced Spring (short story)|Misplaced Spring]]'') He distracted Benny twice whilst she was trying to write her speech for the [[First Annual Braxiatel Collection Archaeology Conference]], wanting to know why she could find the time to talk to students and not to her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Final Draft (short story)|Final Draft]]'')  


=== Divorce ===
Jason agreed to celebrate Christmas early and bought [[fruit]]s and [[sweet]]s for Benny, Braxiatel and Bev. He dressed as [[Father Christmas]] and was attacked by Bev, who was under the control of ther [[Verphidiae]], before Benny and Braxiatel arrived with [[blaster]]s and the three of them destroyed the Verphidiae weapon that Bev had assembled. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Signifiers of the Verphidiae (audio story)|Signifiers of the Verphidiae]]'')
Benny and Jason were shortly afterwards divorced on [[Earth]]'s [[the Moon|Moon]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eternity Weeps]]'')


While newly divorced Benny settled down with a steady job at [[St Oscar's University]] on the planet [[Dellah]], Jason continued adventuring around the galaxy, often getting mixed up in legally or morally questionable affairs. Though he still cared deeply for his ex-wife, he would often go months without contacting her. He felt this was the best course of action to shield Benny from the dangers he regularly faced; Bernice, however, felt that she didn't need to be shielded, and resented being called upon only when Jason got in over his head.
By [[October]] [[2064]], Jason had began writing [[xenopornography]] again, his books including such titles as ''[[Tongues of the Mollusc-Women]]'', ''[[In Different Flesh]]'', ''[[Sins of the Pseudopod]]'' and ''[[World of the Vixenoids]]''. After an [[academic]] criticised his writing at a [[party]], he wrote an analytical paper of his own work under a ''nom de plume'' in order to show him up. The increase in his book sales following the paper led him to write several more under the anagrammatical aliases of Jonas Neak, Dr Jan Jeason, Professor Anne Sojak and Dr Ken J. Aason, as well as Professor Arsenio W. Cockshaft. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants (short story)|Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants]]'')


Becoming involved in the destruction/loss of the planet Dellah, Jason was inadvertently lost in a parallel dimension at the mercy of the alien [[Ferutu]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twilight of the Gods (BNA novel)|Twilight of the Gods]]'') He spent several years wandering between dimensions, spending a lot of time in Hell, before finally being rescued and returned to the normal universe around [[2601]]. Having nowhere else to go, Jason reluctantly accepted Bernice's offer to stay at the [[Braxiatel Collection]]. The two began, tentatively, to rekindle their relationship — a task made more difficult by Benny being pregnant by [[Adrian Wall]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infernal Nexus (novel)|The Infernal Nexus]]'')
Jason became a [[celebrity]] on [[Zardox]] after his work as a consultant at a [[casino]] intending to branch out into adult services was fictionalised for ''[[Aventures de la Frontière Nouvelle]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Zardox Break (short story)|Zardox Break]]'') He used duplicates created by the [[ProxyMation Corporation]] after several of his identities were invited to the same conference and hid away when one claimed that the others were hired by Jason's publishers to drive up book sales, wanting to avoid the bad publicity that would inevitably result. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants (short story)|Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants]]'')


=== Life on the Collection ===
Jason helped Benny stop [[Rand Gemeno]] from destroying texts proving the existence of the [[Harrassi]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blame of the Nose (short story)|The Blame of the Nose]]'') and caused a power outage when trying to fix Benny's lights. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[There Never Need Be Longing In Your Eyes (short story)|There Never Need Be Longing In Your Eyes]]'') He was framed for [[murder]]ing [[Brenda (Nothing Up My Sleeve)|Brenda]] and was arrested by the [[Brotherhood of Magicians]] before Benny was able to get him released. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing Up My Sleeve (short story)|Nothing Up My Sleeve]]'') He was at Benny's side after she suffered a mild [[heart attack]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mentioning the War (short story)|Mentioning the War]]'')
Jason supported Bernice throughout her pregnancy and was determined to help her raise her son, [[Peter Summerfield]]. Though Benny insisted that she needed no help, she softened her stance; Peter called Jason "Daddy" for at least part of his childhood. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Green-Eyed Monsters (audio story)|The Green-Eyed Monsters]]'')


In his spare time Jason rekindled his career as a published author of [[xenopornography]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Life Worth Living]]'')
Following an argument with Benny, Jason took her on [[holiday]] to Zardox without telling her that they would be taking part in ''[[Celebrity Split]]'', a reality show which he believed their [[love]] was strong enough to survive. [[MegaStel Productions]] called off after [[Humphrey Pumpkin]] stabbed Benny and paid for the rest of their holiday, during which Jason was tricked into taking part in [[Damion Agrazoth]]'s film starring the [[Glitta Bitches]]. Afterwards, he was arrested by [[Dick Strangely]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Zardox Break (short story)|Zardox Break]]'') on suspicion of murdering [[Mark Morton]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Purpura Pawn (short story)|The Purpura Pawn]]'')


Jason did not get along well with the Collection's owner, Irving Braxiatel. Their quarrels began when Jason was paranoid about the absence of Braxiatel's dark side. To shut him up, Braxiatel hypnotised Jason and placed him in a coma. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mirror Effect (audio story)|The Mirror Effect]]'') During the Axis occupation of the Collection, Jason pretended to collaborate with the Axis whilst in secret he helped protect children from the damage. To endorse his image as a collaborator he wore a fat suit to give the image of a man living too well. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Life During Wartime]]'') He accompanied Benny to [[Heaven (Love and War)|Heaven]] where he discovered that the [[Dalek]]s behind the Fifth Axis. When he returned to the collection he led his irregulars into the liberation of the collection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death and the Daleks]]'') After recovering, Jason went through several unusual incidents, at one point going on trial for the murder of a prominent politician, manipulated into position by Irving Braxiatel. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Life in Pieces]]'') When he was looking after Peter, he showed him [[20th century]] tv. He wanted to go take him and Peter to a fun fair using the [[Time Ring]]s. He got taken through time at Peter's whim avoiding the pursuing [[Grel]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Grel Escape]]'') He was looking after Peter when Benny started acting strangely and he followed her offworld. His legs were injured in the blast off as he wasn't strapped in.  On being taken to [[44 (The Kingdom of the Blind)|44]] he hatched a plan to help the Halyvons overthrow the [[Monoids]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Kingdom of the Blind (audio story)|The Kingdom of the Blind]]'') [[Markwood]] invited him and Benny to search through the damage of the [[Trib Museum]] during the civil war. He invented a translation device which he used to help the military understand the locals. He discovered the terrible stories of the locals of how the soldiers abused them. In order to stop the fighting he changed the diction on the translators and updated the dictionaries, this lead the locals to dance. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lost Museum (audio story)|The Lost Museum]]'')  He discovered how he had been manipulated, though, when Braxiatel nearly tricked him into becoming a [[Cyberman]] as part of his scheme to protect the Collection from outside threats. When Jason confronted Braxiatel the latter fled the Collection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|The Crystal of Cantus]]'')
Jason was imprisoned for some time, breaking his spirit, before he was put on [[trial]]. He suffered from migraines once again and was eventually found not guilty thanks to Benny pretending to be a weapons expert, but she admitted to Braxiatel that she had some doubts about his [[innocence]]. When [[Kristoffa Tailor]] and [[Claire Marsh]] got close to working out who really did it, they were poisoned by a waiter who suffered a migraine and entered a [[coma]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[On Trial (short story)|On Trial]]'')


=== Final years ===
Whilst Benny went on a trip with Adrian, Jason looked after Peter. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[You Shouldn't Have (short story)|You Shouldn't Have]]'') He joined the sleepwalking Benny on her journey to [[26 (The Kingdom of the Blind)|26]] and was left unconscious and injured when she took off. Upon awakening, he met [[44 (The Kingdom of the Blind)|44]], who went on to heal his injuries, and saved Benny from the [[Monoid]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Kingdom of the Blind (audio story)|The Kingdom of the Blind]]'')
Jason was upset that not enough was being done to find Benny when she went missing. He travelled with [[CroSSScape]] to [[Cerebus Iera]] where her diary was discovered. When [[La^Heyne]] couldn't convert Benny she tried to convert him because he had spent time in another universe. La^Heyne managed to remove Braxiatel's blocks on his mind. ([[AUDIO]]:''[[The Tartarus Gate (audio story)|The Tartarus Gate]]'') He was asked to have an interview in [[the Drome]] to promote his news Xenopornography, but he didn't manage it do to a murder happening. He then asked Benny to investigate it. [[Jane Peters]] protected him when he was to be attacked by the security men. He was stabbed by a member of the support staff. Before this he believed that the support staff believed they were at war. After recovering he hacked into the computer to allow Benny access. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Worst Thing in the World (audio story)|The Worst Thing in the World]]'') He was away from the collection when a sex virus ran through the Collection, which was much to Benny's annoyance. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Summer of Love (audio story)|Summer of Love]]'') He accompanied Benny to ancient Greece to find the Oracle. He met [[Megaira]] who entised him into her cult, and used him as her voice in the Athenian senate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Oracle of Delphi (audio story)|The Oracle of Delphi]]'')  Jason stayed on the collection when Benny went to [[The Empire State]] and told her about the weird things that were happening there. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Empire State (audio story)|The Empire State]]'')
Though they did not remarry, Jason and Benny continued their on-again, off-again romantic relationship. They aimed to conceive children of their own, bringing about the twins that they had originally been destined to conceive, but for reasons unknown to them, had not. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nobody's Children]]'') Jason had also become aware of several other peculiarities in the world about them, a growing sense of wrongness about the world. Following Braxiatel's return to the Collection and the destruction of the Stonehauser Medical Facility in the [[Draconian]]-[[Mim]] war, Jason began to search for proof of the man's interference with the timeline. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Freedom of Information (audio story)|Freedom of Information]]'')


He discovered entire sections of his (and Bernice's) life had been rewritten to suit Braxiatel's unknown agenda. Incensed, he confronted Braxiatel and was killed by unarmed attacks from Peter Summerfield, under Braxiatel's control. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The End of the World (audio story)|The End of the World]]'')
Jason was off-world when Peter was abducted by [[Clarissa Jones|Ms Jones]], working with the [[Plague Dogs]] to put a stop to [[Oinky Pete]]'s adaptation of one of his books using [[slave]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jason and the Pirates (short story)|Jason and the Pirates]]'') He was contacted about the abduction by Braxiatel, who sent him after Benny to ensure that Peter did not see her kill, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallel Lives (anthology)|Parallel Lives (III)]]'') and was shot and stunned by Ms Jones when they found her on [[Thuban]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallel Lives (anthology)|Parallel Lives (IV)]]'')
 
=== The history machine ===
After [[Wolsey]] died, Jason picked Peter up from [[school]] to help Benny out. He attended the press launch of the [[history machine]] and was present when it was activated, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Inappropriate Laughter (short story)|Inappropriate Laughter]]'') helping repair the damage it caused to the Collection in one world. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Siege Mentality (short story)|Siege Mentality]]'') He was reminded of his own migraines in another world after Adrian fell into a [[coma]] due to one and, suspicious, visited Braxiatel who beat his [[skull]] with the [[Purpura Pawn]] to stop him from revealing the truth about him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dead Mice (short story)|Dead Mice]]'')
 
In a third world, Jason visited Benny in [[hospital]] and was angry to hear that she intended to use one of [[Avril Fenman]]'s [[crystal]]s to give her own life for Peter's. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Acts of Senseless Devotion (short story)|Acts of Senseless Devotion]]'') The history machine killed just Jason in one world ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Match of the Deity (short story)|Match of the Deity]]'') and both him and Adrian in another ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The God Gene (short story)|The God Gene]]'') whilst another left him alive but disfigured. Worried about whether or not Benny could still love him, he went to [[Hass]] who transformed part of the gardens into a [[love letter]] for Benny. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Writing in Green (short story)|Writing in Green]]'')
 
Another scarred Jason employed [[Paul Stevens]] to catalogue the artefacts at the Collection after some were misfiled or went missing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Showing Initiative (short story)|Showing Initiative]]'') In another world, he became a depressed alcoholic after Benny left him for [[Doggles]]. He received a message from an alternative self and used a device received from a friend whose name he could not remember which made him aware that history had been shattered into pieces. Before history reset, he drew a [[question mark]] on his head, hoping that his successor would get to the bottom of things. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Back and There Again (short story)|Back and There Again]]'')
 
When history was restored, Jason attended Wolsey's [[funeral]] and told Benny that he would leave her alone despite his love for her should she feel that there was someone better for her. She assured him that that was not the case. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[After Life (short story)|After Life]]'')
 
=== Braxiatel's departure ===
Jason joined Benny on her mission to [[Trib City]] and invented a [[translation]] device which allowed the [[military]] to understand the locals, later updating the [[dictionary|dictionaries]] and causing both sides to believe that the other had backed down. He also told Benny that Adrian and [[Bev Tarrant]] were "at it like [[rabbit]]s", which she was initially sceptical of. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Lost Museum (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Lost Museum]]'')
 
[[File:Cyber Jason.jpg|thumb|left|Jason as a [[Cyber-Leader]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus]]'')]]
Braxiatel manipulated Jason into joining him on a journey to [[Cantus]] to recover the [[Crystal of Cantus]], but Jason's [[lie]] to Benny about them going to the [[opera]] led her to stow away aboard the shuttle and join them. After crashing, he encountered the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and their [[Cyber-Leader]], [[Ronan McGinley]], whose place Braxiatel intended Jason to take. Braxiatel was successful until Benny took the Crystal from Jason and turned its power against the Cybermen, after which the couple returned to the Collection.
 
Due to the experience, Jason found that he could remember everything that Braxiatel had made him forget and that he was immune to further hypnosis from the Time Lord. He confronted Braxiatel in his office and attacked him, threatening him into leaving, and told Benny that they could all make the Collection work in his absence. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus]]'')
 
=== Braxiatel's absence ===
Jason was upset that not enough was being done to find Benny after she went missing and travelled with [[CroSSScape]] to [[Cerebus Iera]] where her diary was discovered. [[La^Heyne]] trapped Jason there and attempted to convert him to her cause, believing that it would be easier with him than Benny given that he had spent time in a higher universe. She went on to completely restore his lost [[memory|memories]], making him realise that Braxiatel was [[Pandora|not entirely himself]] and to swear that he would kill him if he ever saw him again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Tartarus Gate (audio story)|The Tartarus Gate]]'')
 
A [[ghost]] of Braxiatel haunted Jason, causing Benny and Bev to finally ask him what really happened between him and Jason the day that he left. Jason told them the truth and, after Bev destroyed the ghost, he told them that the ghost only wanted to [[apology|apologise]] to him for what he had done. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Work in Progress (short story)|Work in Progress]]'') Jason found Peter in the Mansionhouse after he disappeared, learning that he was exploring with his [[imaginary friend]] [[Keith Branigan Kane-Summerfield|Keith]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Key (short story)|Key]]'') After Bev stood Adrian up, the Killoran went drinking with Jason instead. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Inconstant Gallery (short story)|The Inconstant Gallery]]'')
 
Jason helped [[Mahalia Nkansah Hernandez]] look for themes for Bev's pavilion and came across [[Peter the Great]]'s [[Amber Room]]. When the room was opened for visitors, ghostly [[soldier]]s appeared and the two destroyed the amber walls with makeshift [[Molotov cocktail]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cabinets of Curiosities (short story)|Cabinet of Curiosities]]'') Bev later tasked him with writing a piece on coverage of the Collection in the media, which he chose to write in Braxiatel's office using Braxiatel's pen, unaware that it was a [[Time Vector Generator]]. This affected the room's [[dimension]]s before Bev fixed it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Two-Level Effect (short story)|The Two-Level Effect]]'')
 
When Peter wanted to give Benny a present, Jason sent him to [[Hass]] for a [[flower]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Let There Be Stars (short story)|Let There Be Stars]]'') He planned to propose to Benny a second time and went to dinner with her at [[Cafe Vosta]], but his plans were ruined when Bev's new security system interacted badly with Braxiatel's. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[False Security (short story)|False Security]]'') He became anxious about the [[Quire]] and the looming threat of the [[Draconian Empire]], worries that were exacerbated by a piece of art painted over a fold in [[time]] which Benny later had Doggles unfold. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Painting on the Stair (short story)|The Painting on the Stair]]'')
 
Most of the Collection's artefacts disappeared mysteriously and Jason was the one to realise that the ones that remained were those that had not been catalogued by the [[Chester Industries]] drones. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cost for a Collection (short story)|The Cost for a Collection]]'') He and Benny went after Peter when he switched his pass tag with Benny's and found him in [[Wajiwaj]]'s mum-dad's bar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lock (short story)|Lock]]'') Bev had Jason make Benny apologise to [[Dorso]] for being angry with her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Perspectives: The Injured Party (short story)|Perspectives: The Injured Party]]'')
 
Jason promoted ''[[Xenomorphic Bondage Slaves XXXVII]]'' with [[interview]]s in [[Mega-City One]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Psykogeddon (novel)|Psykogeddon]]'') and [[the Drome]], but the latter interview was postponed due to [[Marvin Glass]]'s murder meant that it was postponed. He asked Benny to investigate it and was stabbed by [[Jane Peters]]. After recovering, he hacked into the computer to grant Benny access and they realised that the Drome was controlling them for the sake of making stories. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Worst Thing in the World (audio story)|The Worst Thing in the World]]'') He went to help set up a communications relay on the [[Third Moon of Mim]] and flirted with a [[netball]] team made up of people with five arms. He returned exhausted and declined sex with Benny, who was, like the rest of the Collection, infected with a [[pollen]] that made them aroused. Once the situation was revolved, Jason told Benny that he wanted to try for more children. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Summer of Love (audio story)|Summer of Love]]'')
 
=== Draconian-Mim War ===
Using their Time Rings, Jason and Benny went back to [[BC|430 BCE]] [[Greece]] where he met [[Megaira]] whilst bathing in one of the [[Sacred Springs of Delphi]]. She attempted to hypnotise him and, when he saw Braxiatel inside her head, he pretended to be under her control in order to find him, eventually learning about the [[Stone of Barter]] and returning with Benny to the future to find it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Oracle of Delphi (audio story)|The Oracle of Delphi]]'')
 
Jason found himself trapped in an infinite [[corridor]] in the Mansionhouse for a whole afternoon and, upon returning, learnt that he had only been gone for a matter of minutes. Also concerned about the [[Draconian]]s, he sent Benny a message informing her of the strange goings-on at the Collection and asked her to return with haste, sending another when the Draconians attacked. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Empire State (audio story)|The Empire State]]'')
 
Whilst Benny and [[Adrian Wall|Adrian]] attended [[Kothar]]'s reception, Jason babysat [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Judas Gift (audio story)|The Judas Gift]]'') Benny had previously warned Braxiatel of what Jason might do to him once they returned to the Collection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Tub Full of Cats (audio story)|The Tub Full of Cats]]'')
 
In conversation with Kothar, Jason told him what Braxiatel had tried to do to him and initially refused to talk about Benny and her whereabouts. He noticed [[Clarissa Jones]]'s name on the list of those killed by the Draconians at the [[Stonehauser Medical Facility]] and gave Benny up in return for the information, knowing that he could use it against Braxiatel, but she was freed after the destruction of the [[Mimsphere]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Freedom of Information (audio story)|Freedom of Information]]'')
 
Jason and Benny went on holiday to [[Phaaag Zenbrou]] to try to conceive another child whilst [[Isaac Summerfield II|Isaac]] looked after Peter. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All Mimsy Were the Borogoves (short story)|All Mimsy Were the Borogoves]]'') They later went to [[Montavadros]] with Peter, where Jason proposed to Benny a second time and was turned down, being told that it was a postponement rather than a rejection. She later [[miscarriage|miscarried]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Loyal Left Hand (short story)|The Loyal Left Hand]]'') Back on the Collection, he had to fight back a [[Mim]] that entered Peter's bedroom before Adrian and the [[Killoran]]s came to help and had a [[sperm]] sample frozen. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nursery Politics (short story)|Nursery Politics]]'')
 
=== Death ===
[[File:Jason End of the World.jpg|thumb|right|Jason visiting [[Peter Kane|his father]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The End of the World (audio story)|The End of the World]]'')]]
Jason came to believe that Braxiatel had caused major alterations to the [[timeline]], including bringing about both of Ms Jones's deaths, causing his and Benny's [[divorce]] and preventing the existence of [[Keith Branigan Kane-Summerfield|Keith]] and [[Rebecca Kane-Summerfield|Rebecca]]. He shared his beliefs with [[Mira (Ship of Fools)|Mira]], who joined him on his investigations. Wanting to finally do right by [[Lucy Kane|Lucy]], he told [[Peter Kane|his father]] that his house was under surveillance and set up a [[trust fund]] for her.
 
Returning to the Collection, Jason finally confronted Braxiatel about what he had done to his, Benny's and Ms Jones's timelines and learnt that he had done the same for Mira and [[Keri]]. He told Braxiatel that he would take him down and tell Benny everything. Incapable of hypnotising him, Braxiatel controlled Peter and made him kill Jason, telling him that he was planning to hurt his mother and everyone on the Collection.

Jason Kane was 30-ish, 6'1", blond, and muscular. He had gene customisation to render his skin immune to radiation; this permanently altered his skin tone.

Jason Peter Kane (previously Summerfield-Kane) was a criminal and author who had a long and complicated relationship with Bernice Summerfield which involved a brief marriage.

Following a period of time living adrift in the multiverse, Jason lived and worked at the Braxiatel Collection with Bernice in the 2600s and helped raise her son, Peter. He became a famous author of xenopornographic literature and eventually became aware of Irving Braxiatel's many changes to the timeline, including preventing Jason and Benny's remarriage and the birth of their children, Keith and Rebecca.

Jason investigated Braxiatel and confronted him about his wrongdoings, threatening to tell Benny about them. To prevent this, Braxiatel hypnotised Peter into killing him.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Childhood[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason was born on 24 December 1983 to Peter Kane and his wife. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad) He had a sister, Lucy, and grew up in a mock Tudor estate in the English countryside, sixty or seventy miles outside of London. Perhaps because he lost his own father in World War II, Peter beat Jason and Lucy (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) as well as their mother, and Jason once had to go to the hospital with a broken arm. (PROSE: The Two Jasons)

Jason's parents only took him to the beach once and he collected a lump of seaweed which he put on the end of his bed to see if it would rain. When his father finished beating him with a belt, he would run upstairs and smell the seaweed, reminding him of the one day that he was happy. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape) He also found comfort in his favourite book, The Magician's Nephew, identifying with Digory and wanting a girlfriend like Polly, (PROSE: Eternity Weeps) and read comic books about Union Jack Jackson fighting the Japanese. He collected action figures and hung them from his bedroom ceiling to save on shelf space. (PROSE: The Two Jasons)

As a birthday present, Jason asked for and received a word processor. He was isolated, friendless and wanted to be a political author, believing that he could be the next Harlan Ellison and using his school essays as an opportunity to do so. (AUDIO: The End of the World) He saw a pillbox on the beach when he was young (PROSE: Oblivion) and imagined that it might have weapons inside which he could take home with a specific target in mind. He made a den in the pillbox and stayed there whilst playing truant, often because he had wounds that he could not explain away. (PROSE: The Two Jasons)

He had underdeveloped anti-capitalist views and was determined to be very nice should he ever meet a black person, an occurrence made unlikely by his white, middle-class background. (AUDIO: The End of the World) When he did meet the only black person at his school, he spoke with her and was mocked as a result. (PROSE: The Two Jasons) His only exposure to cricket was watching from beyond the boundary on occasion and paying no attention to matches on the television. (PROSE: Happy Endings) He once had a girlfriend called Kara. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)

Life on the streets[[edit] | [edit source]]

Due to his father's abuse, Jason ran away shortly before turning thirteen, (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy; AUDIO: The End of the World) walking five miles to the nearest town before leaving. Over the course of two and a half years, he wandered around Yorkshire, (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) Piccadilly (PROSE: Beyond the Sun) and Mile End, staying at places such as Centrepoint, (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) and felt guilty for leaving his sister behind. (AUDIO: Just War) At the age of fourteen, he attempted to tattoo himself with a doornail. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)

Jason worked as a prostitute to make money, mostly catering to older male clientele, (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy; AUDIO: Just War) and spent his time "smoking Yorkie foil". He had relationships with Beth, Danny, Susan, Lisa, Carla and Sean before staying in Danielle, Mo and another Susan's squat in Euston for four months. After being kicked out, he had relationships with Kimberly, Micqui, Justin, Peter, Carmel and Louise, the last of whom got him into celibacy for a time. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)

Life in the Cluster[[edit] | [edit source]]

On 24 December 1996, Jason was caught in a transmat beam set up by Shug and was transported to t'Kao in the Dagellan Cluster. He got a lift off of the planet on an ore processor, taking Shug as a pet, and spent several years travelling around the Cluster in a second-hand ship that he acquired. He learnt to speak Basic and carried a small-gauge microflenser. During his time in space, he heard talk of Time Lords, Daleks (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) and Cybermen (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus) and celebrated his twenty-first birthday in a bar. (PROSE: The Two Jasons)

Jason had relationships with Rana, Liva, Sali, Moiara, Kamo and Sai d'RaKosh, among others. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) One way that he earnt money was by continuing prostitution. His clients included a Denebian whom he charged before being beaten up by him. (PROSE: Eternity Weeps) He once barely managed to escape with his life after giving a smile to a Fnarok (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) and had a bar fight on Squaxis. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

Jason with Benny. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)

On Denaria VII, Jason was mugged in a back alley and had his money, identification, shoes and copy of The Magician's Nephew stolen. By this point, he had memorised all of his favourite passages from the book and he would later look back and think about how lucky he had been to survive the experience. (PROSE: Eternity Weeps)

Fifteen years after arriving in the Cluster, Jason met Bernice Summerfield, the first human he had encountered in space, and fled Jaris with her without paying his docking fees. He refused to take her to the summit and, after saving her life from asphyxiation, defrauding a casino on Makrath and having sex, he left her behind on Kalas, only to return for her and take her to the summit. Shug attempted to kill him on the way and, after he was defeated, Benny informed Chris Cwej and Roz Forrester that Jason had proposed to her and that she had accepted. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)

Marriage to Benny[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Seventh Doctor took Jason and Benny to Cheldon Bonniface to be wed on 24 April 2010. The two argued a lot prior to the day but, after defeating the Master, the two were married using Time Rings gifted to them by the Doctor, who had been given them by his final incarnation. Although Benny initially insisted that Jason take the name "Kane-Summerfield" whilst she took "Summerfield-Kane", (PROSE: Happy Endings) they ended up doing the opposite, with Jason becoming "Jason Summerfield-Kane". (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)

For their honeymoon, the Doctor took the newlyweds to Plautus (PROSE: Happy Endings) where Jason gave Benny a tiny Bible and a hair slide. (PROSE: Eternity Weeps) When she moaned about never having completed her doctorate, he quoted a female author, saying "It's never too late to be what you might have been". This motivated her to finally write her thesis, with Jason being willing to live with her in a tent on Youkali Six whilst she did so. (PROSE: Beyond the Sun) They lived there for a number of months.

Jason and Benny decided to have a child, choosing the baby names Keith for a boy and Dorothy for a girl, and tried for one during the Youkali autumn without success. Afraid that they might not be able to have children naturally, they considered adoption but, given their respective pasts, they found it unlikely that they would be accepted as adoptive parents. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad) Whilst Jason wanted to have a child, he was scared that he might turn out like his father. (PROSE: Eternity Weeps)

In 2587, Jason and Benny were reunited with the Doctor, Chris and Roz and travelled back in time to 1983 to meet Benny's father, Isaac Summerfield. Jason considered visiting his own father to get revenge upon him. In the past, a ghost handed Jason and Benny an eighteen-month-old child, Keith, who later faded away. Upon returning to 2587, Jason continued to help Benny achieve her PhD. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)

Jason and Benny at their wedding. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

Remaining on Youkali Six, Jason and Benny moved from their tent to a rental academic house and were visited by the Doctor and Chris after Roz's death. Jason chose to go to the Tent of Ill Repute with Chris rather than watch the Doctor's recording of her funeral, later sitting awkwardly with Chris as Chris poured out his feelings and finding a wheelchair to be fixed up for the Doctor. (PROSE: So Vile a Sin) Another account, however, claimed that Jason had indeed attended the funeral.

Jason and Benny once visited South Africa and found themselves stranded due to an outbreak of Ebola. (PROSE: Eternity Weeps) When Benny eventually graduated, Jason attended the ceremony. (PROSE: Beyond the Sun) However, he began to find that their sex life was becoming boring, something that he saw as a sign of the marriage not working. The two went on holiday to 2003 using their Time Rings and, following an argument, joined separate expeditions to find Noah's Ark in Turkey. They eventually used their rings to call in the Doctor and Chris and worked with them to stop Agent Yellow, Jason accidentally causing the situation in an attempt to prevent it from happening and finally wiping out the Cthalctose.

Because of a number of reasons, including Benny lying about being pregnant in order to manipulate Jason into arming the bombs, the pair decided to get a divorce whilst on the Moon. Jason returned his Time Ring and chose to stay on Earth in 2003 to help with the aftermath that he himself had created, saying that, unlike his father, he did not shirk his responsibilities. (PROSE: Eternity Weeps) They had a divorce ceremony after which they parted ways. (PROSE: Beyond the Sun)

Travels in time[[edit] | [edit source]]

After returning to the 26th century, Jason resumed his life of crime and began a criminal and sexual relationship with Iranda, whom he met on Denaria 7. They assisted the Sunless by negotiating for the return of their stolen weapons until Jason realised that Iranda was planning on reassembling a particularly powerful one and fled with a figurine believed to be its key, taking it to Benny on Apollox 4 after looking for her at St Oscar's University. The pair had sex and, hours later, he was kidnapped by Iranda and taken to the Sunless homeworld from which Benny eventually rescued him. Following the activation of the device, which restored the planet's sun, Jason asked Benny if she would like to go for dinner or a drink, but she declined. (PROSE: Beyond the Sun)

Several months later, Jason was paid by WiRgo!xue and !Ci!ci-tel to steal Benny's Time Ring to create a Time Path to Babylon. They took him there against his will and restrained him with smart rope, but he tricked !Ci!ci-tel and escaped by pretending that he was dying of heartbreak after hearing of Benny kissing John Lafayette. He was knocked out whilst trying to save Benny and Lafayette and taken to Ninan, whom he paid for Miriam's freedom before he and Benny re-entered the Time Path and were knocked off-course by Oran!ci-zing's singularity bomb. (AUDIO: Walking to Babylon) According to another account, Benny had this adventure later in her timeline and without Jason. (PROSE: Walking to Babylon)

The Time Path connected with the Great Divide and sent Jason and Benny to either end, with Jason arriving on Earth in 22000 whilst Benny arrived in 1909. Jason was captured by the Charrl and, threatened with being eaten, told Queen Ch'tizz about his and Benny's Time Rings and how they could be used to stabilise the Great Divide so that the Charrl could conquer Earth in 1909 and make it their new home. With Isk's help, he convinced Ch'tizz into letting him go to 1909 to steal Benny's ring and later joined Benny in moving the Great Divide so that the Charrl could live on Analaya VI, although the process was disrupted by Jared Khan. (AUDIO: Birthright) According to a separate account, Benny experienced this adventure whilst travelling with the Seventh Doctor and Ace, before meeting Jason. (PROSE: Birthright)

Jason arrived on Guernsey in 1936 and met Emil Hartung, whom he drunkenly told about his travels, the chronokinetiscope and radar. With no sign of Benny, he travelled to England and, with Mikhail Vladimir Popov's help, joined the Scientific Intelligence Division and became a captain, initially hoping to use his knowledge of the future to change the course of World War II. In March 1945, he returned to Guernsey and was reunited with Benny, with whom he stole and destroyed an aeroplane built by Hartung, and killed Joachim Wolff when he taunted him about Benny's torture. They returned to St Oscar's and Jason attempted to rekindle their relationship, but Benny wished, at that time, to be left alone with Wolsey. (AUDIO: Just War) One account held that Benny had this adventure during her travels with the Doctor, Roz and Chris. (PROSE: Just War)

When Benny explained to Jason that she intended to go back in time to alter the history of Panos by saving Isabella Hescarty or killing Ulrich, Jason agreed that it was the right thing to do and gave her his Time Ring as requested. (AUDIO: Closure)

Still hoping to repair their relationship, Jason visited Benny at St Oscar's and tricked her into using their Time Rings to take them to Paris in 1899, but her attempts to cancel mid-time jump resulted in them arriving in Bournemouth in the 2160s. They were separated when Jason, his ankle twisted, was taken by Kerrigan and Davina for his own safety before the Grel appeared. He followed the captured Benny to Dunstable in a hot air balloon and, after she released the Extra-Strong Fact-Removal Gas, they returned to Dellah thanks to the amnesiac Grel. There, Benny told him that there was little hope for the two of them. (AUDIO: The Grel Invasion of Earth)

Crimes and gods[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason was hired by the Knights of Jeneve to look into the Baygent Apotheosis, accepting the job in order to protect Benny and because he knew that Chris was involved. He visited Benny and Irving Braxiatel at St Oscar's and stole the co-ordinates of Ardethe, unaware that they were incorrect, and headed there with Emile Mars-Smith, being led by a distress call to an unconscious Chris. To help Charlene Connor start a new life, Jason agreed to marry her. (PROSE: Deadfall) The two wed, but their arrangement allowed for Jason to continue to have sex with others. (PROSE: Oblivion)

Jason eventually "finished" with Charley, after which he took up rock climbing as a way to meet new people and was attracted to his instructor. (PROSE: Twilight of the Gods)

Two years after last having sex with Benny (from her perspective), a woman in the Proximan Chain-rafts flirted with Jason and stole his travelling money, leaving him stranded until Sgloomi Po picked him, Chris and Benny up for assistance. He refused to answer Benny's questions about his wife, telling her that she had no idea what she was talking about and, after being hooked up to virtual reality where he was imprisoned and raped, he headed for the Catan Nebula to deal with some "unfinished business". (PROSE: Oblivion)

Jason wrote a xenopornographic autobiography called Nights of the Perfumed Tentacle with certain parts, including references to Benny, excised. He bumped into Benny on Mars and, hoping for reconciliation and after having sex in his hotel room, agreed to stay to investigate Isaac Denikin's death. He was arrested after breaking into the police station looking for evidence and was bailed out by Benny. Before leaving Mars, Jason and Benny established that there was hope for the two of them in the future. (PROSE: Beige Planet Mars)

In the Proximan Chain with his friend Mira, Jason caught wind of the Stratum Seven agent's search for Benny and, learning that he was a bioweapon from the Catan Nebula, lured the him to a meeting where Mira was able to use her telepathy to confirm that he meant Benny no harm. He realised that Benny had "done a Mary-Sue" after reading references to Rebecca in Benny's diary and, with the agent and Mira, headed to Beta Caprisis where he was able to reawaken her true self. After defeating the Ferutu on Thanaxos with Emile, the group returned Emile to his exile and Jason and Mira left in the Star of Afrique with Kimo Ani. (PROSE: The Mary-Sue Extrusion)

Mira eventually parted ways with Jason. After Kebara took Jason's form and was killed by Benny, Braxiatel tracked him down and had Chris bring him to KS-159 to help with the paranoia that a parasite was causing her to feel, but she initially believed that he was an impostor. He later went with her, Braxiatel and B-Aaron to the Oracle of the Lost to find out if war between the People and the Time Lords had been averted and suggested that he and Benny get remarried, but she did not yet have an answer for him and pretended to be asleep. (PROSE: Tears of the Oracle)

When Benny arranged to leave the Braxiatel Collection for Virabilis, Jason was, like Braxiatel, Clarence and Cwej, worried that she would have too good a time and not return. To prevent this, he and Clarence travelled to Virabilis ahead of her and ensured that her trip was as boring as possible through bribing and intimidating those around her and Dent Harper, of whom he was somewhat jealous. After infiltrating Rula Winther's Cartel as "Professor Fred Bloggs" and eventually coming into possession of Dorpfeld's Prism, he kept Benny and Harper from having sex and returned to the Collection before her, claiming ignorance of her adventure. (PROSE: The Joy Device)

Other worlds[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Further info from The Door into Bedlam and The Infernal Nexus needs to be added

Jason agreed to help save Dellah from the Doomsday Probe by transported it into the universe of the Ferutu using a transference node. Whilst Cwej and Clarence recovered Teran Sevic, Jason and Benny went to Casmov power station to activate the node, but he was badly injured by Tehke and sent by Benny to safety, although not before he made her admit that she loved him. He was captured by the Ferutu and used as a bargaining chip against Benny, but she placed the fate of the universe over him and left him as the Ferutu's prisoner, held in case his knowledge or experience could help them get to and colonise his universe. (PROSE: Twilight of the Gods)

Jason and Benny fleeing. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus)

Caught in a state of flux, Jason wandered between dimensions for several years, (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus) driven by the thought of seeing Benny again. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters) He spent a lot of time in Hell and did not age thanks to the Gilhooly Theory of Transdimensional Contrivance. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus) He met Agragazar Fletchcock and began working for him in order to get home, ultimately missing what seemed to be his one opportunity to do so, (PROSE: The Door into Bedlam) and worked for Volan Sleed when he took over. He was finally able to return home through Station Control and was reunited with Benny.

Following the end of his contract, Jason declined Fletchcock's offer of re-employment and reluctantly accepted Benny's offer of accommodation at the Braxiatel Collection. They tentatively began to rekindle their relationship, although this was further complicated when Benny realised that she was pregnant with Adrian Wall's child. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus)

Becoming a father[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason supported Benny through her pregnancy (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters) but was jealous of Adrian and argued with him about their respective roles during the birth regardless of Benny's own wishes. He took to getting drunk in bars and having casual sex, inadvertently putting his ex-wife in danger when he drunkenly told the cultist Marianne about Benny and her child. Braxiatel took Jason and Adrian to her after she had given birth to her son, Peter Guy Summerfield. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Glass Prison)

Because of how his own father had been, Jason felt determined to play a positive role in Peter's life and saw himself as his father. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape)

Jason and Adrian arguing over Peter. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters)

Peter's birth did nothing to stop Jason and Adrian's arguing, leading Benny to put them both in charge of looking after him whilst she went to Goron IV. They were attacked and Peter kidnapped, but Jason, deducing that the kidnappers were local after checking the Collection's transit database, threatened Sloaty with the Plague Dogs and Peter was returned. Using a spaceship borrowed from the Plague Dogs, Jason and Adrian travelled to Goron IV and saved Benny from Ashantra du Lac. Although they had opened up to one another during the journey, Jason later attempted to take all of the credit and started an argument with Adrian. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Green-Eyed Monsters)

Benny was able to persuade Jason to use their Time Rings to take them back to the 21st century in search of Britney Spears CDs for the Collection. (PROSE: A Mutual Friend) He found a diary entry of Benny's saying that she was trapped in the past and used his Time Ring to activate a time machine in the Pons Asinorum, transporting him to a luxurious and fully-stocked spacecraft. He proceeded to write a similar diary entry which led Benny to him, allowing them to escape using their Time Rings. (PROSE: The Collection)

Jason and Benny fell through a mirror in the Collection and entered another world into which they were soon followed by Braxiatel and Adrian. Jason became suspicious of Braxiatel due to how much he knew about the mirror and because the mirror-world seemed to have no dark side for him, prompting Braxiatel to hypnotise him to forget his suspicions and to suffer migraines whenever they resurfaced. Upon returning, Braxiatel had him sent to a medical satellite. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Mirror Effect)

Eventually, Jason recovered and returned to the Collection, making Benny reluctant to travel to Chosan and be separated from him and Peter. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Poison Seas)

The Axis occupation[[edit] | [edit source]]

When the Fifth Axis invaded and occupied the Braxiatel Collection, Jason pretended to collaborate with the enemy and began wearing an Axis uniform (PROSE: The Fall) with a fat suit made of polymimetic ceramaline. He arranged for hybrid children living on the Collection to be kept safe in a bunker to be cared for by allies from off-world, also ensuring that the parents pretended not to know what had happened to them in order to keep the operation secret. (PROSE: Suffer the Children)

He accompanied the Axis soldiers (PROSE: Careless Talk) and was charged with directing a group of Thoolmids as they worked. To maintain the allusion, he approached Benny upon spotting her and told her that she did not understand what the Axis were doing. (PROSE: Lockdown Conversations: 1) He, Benny and Mushtaq Anson greeted "Leo Didas" when he arrived at the Collection and wondered about Benny's enthusiasm during a tour that they gave him. (PROSE: The Price of Everything) He arranged for the Killorans to work directly under him, meaning that they would not be sent off-world, and mistreated Adrian. (PROSE: Lockdown Conversations: 2) He later spoke with Ash Madai at a bar and cried due to his powers. (PROSE: Midrash)

Jason and Benny running from Daleks. (AUDIO: Death and the Daleks)

Jason received the Cluster of Moral Rectitude (Third Class) for his work in procurement and was the guest of honour at an Axis party, disgusting Benny. When she confronted him about the missing hybrid children, he told her the truth and explained what he had been doing during the occupation, taking her to the bunker and executing a number of soldiers who followed them there. (PROSE: Suffer the Children) His allies began talks with the Resistance and he had Peter moved to the bunker when Bernard Moskof seemed suspicious. (PROSE: Drinking with the Enemy)

Jason assisted Benny in her plan to download the Axis security systems (PROSE: Lockdown Conversations: 4) and located Isaac Summerfield on Heaven. He accompanied Benny there and fought the Daleks before sending a message that caused his mercenaries and the Resistance to attack the Axis, leading to its liberation. Afterwards, Benny told him that she wanted to get back together with him. (AUDIO: Death and the Daleks)

Post-liberation[[edit] | [edit source]]

Left without a gardener following Mister Crofton's death, Braxiatel put Jason in charge of looking after the Collection's grounds whilst searching for a replacement. He remained in contact with Veronica Bland during his adventures off-world, giving her a list of priorities whilst he was away, and was being attacked by lizard women when she called him during a meeting of the heads of department. Veronica took on the role before her death. (AUDIO: Braxiatel in Love)

Jason wanted to restore a sense of normality following the occupation and gave Benny's Time Ring to Peter to try to take him to 20th century Earth. Instead, Peter transported himself, Jason, Benny, Joseph and Sophia across time and space whilst Grel from 2648 pursued them in a time machine to capture and study Peter. Jason and Benny learnt from a robot duplicate of Benny that the two of them would remarry in the future and, after Peter was temporarily aged by the Time Rings and became violent, they vowed that they would raise him right. The Time Rings having been destroyed to restore Peter, the group returned to 2603 in the Grel time machine. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Grel Escape)

Jason with his family and colleagues. (PROSE: A Life Worth Living)

At Christmas, Jason set up a treasure hunt for Benny which led her to the Eighth Doctor. (PROSE: ...Be Forgot) Braxiatel gave Jason a job as his "consultant", a job without a real description and which he suspected meant that he would be tasked with stealing artefacts for the Collection. (PROSE: Misplaced Spring) He distracted Benny twice whilst she was trying to write her speech for the First Annual Braxiatel Collection Archaeology Conference, wanting to know why she could find the time to talk to students and not to her. (PROSE: Final Draft)

Jason agreed to celebrate Christmas early and bought fruits and sweets for Benny, Braxiatel and Bev. He dressed as Father Christmas and was attacked by Bev, who was under the control of ther Verphidiae, before Benny and Braxiatel arrived with blasters and the three of them destroyed the Verphidiae weapon that Bev had assembled. (AUDIO: Signifiers of the Verphidiae)

By October 2064, Jason had began writing xenopornography again, his books including such titles as Tongues of the Mollusc-Women, In Different Flesh, Sins of the Pseudopod and World of the Vixenoids. After an academic criticised his writing at a party, he wrote an analytical paper of his own work under a nom de plume in order to show him up. The increase in his book sales following the paper led him to write several more under the anagrammatical aliases of Jonas Neak, Dr Jan Jeason, Professor Anne Sojak and Dr Ken J. Aason, as well as Professor Arsenio W. Cockshaft. (PROSE: Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants)

Jason became a celebrity on Zardox after his work as a consultant at a casino intending to branch out into adult services was fictionalised for Aventures de la Frontière Nouvelle. (PROSE: Zardox Break) He used duplicates created by the ProxyMation Corporation after several of his identities were invited to the same conference and hid away when one claimed that the others were hired by Jason's publishers to drive up book sales, wanting to avoid the bad publicity that would inevitably result. (PROSE: Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants)

Jason helped Benny stop Rand Gemeno from destroying texts proving the existence of the Harrassi (PROSE: The Blame of the Nose) and caused a power outage when trying to fix Benny's lights. (PROSE: There Never Need Be Longing In Your Eyes) He was framed for murdering Brenda and was arrested by the Brotherhood of Magicians before Benny was able to get him released. (PROSE: Nothing Up My Sleeve) He was at Benny's side after she suffered a mild heart attack. (PROSE: Mentioning the War)

Following an argument with Benny, Jason took her on holiday to Zardox without telling her that they would be taking part in Celebrity Split, a reality show which he believed their love was strong enough to survive. MegaStel Productions called off after Humphrey Pumpkin stabbed Benny and paid for the rest of their holiday, during which Jason was tricked into taking part in Damion Agrazoth's film starring the Glitta Bitches. Afterwards, he was arrested by Dick Strangely (PROSE: Zardox Break) on suspicion of murdering Mark Morton. (PROSE: The Purpura Pawn)

Jason was imprisoned for some time, breaking his spirit, before he was put on trial. He suffered from migraines once again and was eventually found not guilty thanks to Benny pretending to be a weapons expert, but she admitted to Braxiatel that she had some doubts about his innocence. When Kristoffa Tailor and Claire Marsh got close to working out who really did it, they were poisoned by a waiter who suffered a migraine and entered a coma. (PROSE: On Trial)

Whilst Benny went on a trip with Adrian, Jason looked after Peter. (PROSE: You Shouldn't Have) He joined the sleepwalking Benny on her journey to 26 and was left unconscious and injured when she took off. Upon awakening, he met 44, who went on to heal his injuries, and saved Benny from the Monoids. (AUDIO: The Kingdom of the Blind)

Jason was off-world when Peter was abducted by Ms Jones, working with the Plague Dogs to put a stop to Oinky Pete's adaptation of one of his books using slaves. (PROSE: Jason and the Pirates) He was contacted about the abduction by Braxiatel, who sent him after Benny to ensure that Peter did not see her kill, (PROSE: Parallel Lives (III)) and was shot and stunned by Ms Jones when they found her on Thuban. (PROSE: Parallel Lives (IV))

The history machine[[edit] | [edit source]]

After Wolsey died, Jason picked Peter up from school to help Benny out. He attended the press launch of the history machine and was present when it was activated, (PROSE: Inappropriate Laughter) helping repair the damage it caused to the Collection in one world. (PROSE: Siege Mentality) He was reminded of his own migraines in another world after Adrian fell into a coma due to one and, suspicious, visited Braxiatel who beat his skull with the Purpura Pawn to stop him from revealing the truth about him. (PROSE: Dead Mice)

In a third world, Jason visited Benny in hospital and was angry to hear that she intended to use one of Avril Fenman's crystals to give her own life for Peter's. (PROSE: Acts of Senseless Devotion) The history machine killed just Jason in one world (PROSE: Match of the Deity) and both him and Adrian in another (PROSE: The God Gene) whilst another left him alive but disfigured. Worried about whether or not Benny could still love him, he went to Hass who transformed part of the gardens into a love letter for Benny. (PROSE: Writing in Green)

Another scarred Jason employed Paul Stevens to catalogue the artefacts at the Collection after some were misfiled or went missing. (PROSE: Showing Initiative) In another world, he became a depressed alcoholic after Benny left him for Doggles. He received a message from an alternative self and used a device received from a friend whose name he could not remember which made him aware that history had been shattered into pieces. Before history reset, he drew a question mark on his head, hoping that his successor would get to the bottom of things. (PROSE: Back and There Again)

When history was restored, Jason attended Wolsey's funeral and told Benny that he would leave her alone despite his love for her should she feel that there was someone better for her. She assured him that that was not the case. (PROSE: After Life)

Braxiatel's departure[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason joined Benny on her mission to Trib City and invented a translation device which allowed the military to understand the locals, later updating the dictionaries and causing both sides to believe that the other had backed down. He also told Benny that Adrian and Bev Tarrant were "at it like rabbits", which she was initially sceptical of. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Lost Museum)

Jason as a Cyber-Leader. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus)

Braxiatel manipulated Jason into joining him on a journey to Cantus to recover the Crystal of Cantus, but Jason's lie to Benny about them going to the opera led her to stow away aboard the shuttle and join them. After crashing, he encountered the Cybermen and their Cyber-Leader, Ronan McGinley, whose place Braxiatel intended Jason to take. Braxiatel was successful until Benny took the Crystal from Jason and turned its power against the Cybermen, after which the couple returned to the Collection.

Due to the experience, Jason found that he could remember everything that Braxiatel had made him forget and that he was immune to further hypnosis from the Time Lord. He confronted Braxiatel in his office and attacked him, threatening him into leaving, and told Benny that they could all make the Collection work in his absence. (AUDIO: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus)

Braxiatel's absence[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason was upset that not enough was being done to find Benny after she went missing and travelled with CroSSScape to Cerebus Iera where her diary was discovered. La^Heyne trapped Jason there and attempted to convert him to her cause, believing that it would be easier with him than Benny given that he had spent time in a higher universe. She went on to completely restore his lost memories, making him realise that Braxiatel was not entirely himself and to swear that he would kill him if he ever saw him again. (AUDIO: The Tartarus Gate)

A ghost of Braxiatel haunted Jason, causing Benny and Bev to finally ask him what really happened between him and Jason the day that he left. Jason told them the truth and, after Bev destroyed the ghost, he told them that the ghost only wanted to apologise to him for what he had done. (PROSE: Work in Progress) Jason found Peter in the Mansionhouse after he disappeared, learning that he was exploring with his imaginary friend Keith. (PROSE: Key) After Bev stood Adrian up, the Killoran went drinking with Jason instead. (PROSE: The Inconstant Gallery)

Jason helped Mahalia Nkansah Hernandez look for themes for Bev's pavilion and came across Peter the Great's Amber Room. When the room was opened for visitors, ghostly soldiers appeared and the two destroyed the amber walls with makeshift Molotov cocktails. (PROSE: Cabinet of Curiosities) Bev later tasked him with writing a piece on coverage of the Collection in the media, which he chose to write in Braxiatel's office using Braxiatel's pen, unaware that it was a Time Vector Generator. This affected the room's dimensions before Bev fixed it. (PROSE: The Two-Level Effect)

When Peter wanted to give Benny a present, Jason sent him to Hass for a flower. (PROSE: Let There Be Stars) He planned to propose to Benny a second time and went to dinner with her at Cafe Vosta, but his plans were ruined when Bev's new security system interacted badly with Braxiatel's. (PROSE: False Security) He became anxious about the Quire and the looming threat of the Draconian Empire, worries that were exacerbated by a piece of art painted over a fold in time which Benny later had Doggles unfold. (PROSE: The Painting on the Stair)

Most of the Collection's artefacts disappeared mysteriously and Jason was the one to realise that the ones that remained were those that had not been catalogued by the Chester Industries drones. (PROSE: The Cost for a Collection) He and Benny went after Peter when he switched his pass tag with Benny's and found him in Wajiwaj's mum-dad's bar. (PROSE: Lock) Bev had Jason make Benny apologise to Dorso for being angry with her. (PROSE: Perspectives: The Injured Party)

Jason promoted Xenomorphic Bondage Slaves XXXVII with interviews in Mega-City One (PROSE: Psykogeddon) and the Drome, but the latter interview was postponed due to Marvin Glass's murder meant that it was postponed. He asked Benny to investigate it and was stabbed by Jane Peters. After recovering, he hacked into the computer to grant Benny access and they realised that the Drome was controlling them for the sake of making stories. (AUDIO: The Worst Thing in the World) He went to help set up a communications relay on the Third Moon of Mim and flirted with a netball team made up of people with five arms. He returned exhausted and declined sex with Benny, who was, like the rest of the Collection, infected with a pollen that made them aroused. Once the situation was revolved, Jason told Benny that he wanted to try for more children. (AUDIO: Summer of Love)

Draconian-Mim War[[edit] | [edit source]]

Using their Time Rings, Jason and Benny went back to 430 BCE Greece where he met Megaira whilst bathing in one of the Sacred Springs of Delphi. She attempted to hypnotise him and, when he saw Braxiatel inside her head, he pretended to be under her control in order to find him, eventually learning about the Stone of Barter and returning with Benny to the future to find it. (AUDIO: The Oracle of Delphi)

Jason found himself trapped in an infinite corridor in the Mansionhouse for a whole afternoon and, upon returning, learnt that he had only been gone for a matter of minutes. Also concerned about the Draconians, he sent Benny a message informing her of the strange goings-on at the Collection and asked her to return with haste, sending another when the Draconians attacked. (AUDIO: The Empire State)

Whilst Benny and Adrian attended Kothar's reception, Jason babysat Peter. (AUDIO: The Judas Gift) Benny had previously warned Braxiatel of what Jason might do to him once they returned to the Collection. (AUDIO: The Tub Full of Cats)

In conversation with Kothar, Jason told him what Braxiatel had tried to do to him and initially refused to talk about Benny and her whereabouts. He noticed Clarissa Jones's name on the list of those killed by the Draconians at the Stonehauser Medical Facility and gave Benny up in return for the information, knowing that he could use it against Braxiatel, but she was freed after the destruction of the Mimsphere. (AUDIO: Freedom of Information)

Jason and Benny went on holiday to Phaaag Zenbrou to try to conceive another child whilst Isaac looked after Peter. (PROSE: All Mimsy Were the Borogoves) They later went to Montavadros with Peter, where Jason proposed to Benny a second time and was turned down, being told that it was a postponement rather than a rejection. She later miscarried. (PROSE: The Loyal Left Hand) Back on the Collection, he had to fight back a Mim that entered Peter's bedroom before Adrian and the Killorans came to help and had a sperm sample frozen. (PROSE: Nursery Politics)

Death[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason visiting his father. (AUDIO: The End of the World)

Jason came to believe that Braxiatel had caused major alterations to the timeline, including bringing about both of Ms Jones's deaths, causing his and Benny's divorce and preventing the existence of Keith and Rebecca. He shared his beliefs with Mira, who joined him on his investigations. Wanting to finally do right by Lucy, he told his father that his house was under surveillance and set up a trust fund for her.

Returning to the Collection, Jason finally confronted Braxiatel about what he had done to his, Benny's and Ms Jones's timelines and learnt that he had done the same for Mira and Keri. He told Braxiatel that he would take him down and tell Benny everything. Incapable of hypnotising him, Braxiatel controlled Peter and made him kill Jason, telling him that he was planning to hurt his mother and everyone on the Collection. Before dying, Jason told Peter that he would one day remember what he had done and that he did not blame him. (AUDIO: The End of the World)

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

A funeral was held for Jason at the Collection during which Benny played a dance remix of "Abide with Me". She left the collection with Peter, (AUDIO: The Wake) whom she later had attend counselling in order to help him deal with what he had done. (AUDIO: Many Happy Returns) Benny did not learn why Braxiatel had killed Jason until many years later. (AUDIO: Escaping the Future)

Jason's publishers re-released all of his books in order to cash in on the publicity caused by his death. (AUDIO: The Wake)

A simulation of Jason appeared to Benny at the Museum and Benny used the opportunity to give him a proper farewell. (AUDIO: Many Happy Returns)

On Mars, a Guardian used Jason's voice whilst following Benny around Sutekh's pyramid. It lied to her in order to get her to re-embody Sutekh and told her that Jason was not really dead. (AUDIO: The Pyramid of Sutekh)

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Although he was left feeling insecure and unworthy by his father's abuse, Jason was charming and able to get on with anybody by presuming that he would be welcome and liked. (PROSE: Beyond the Sun) He had a crass and juvenile sense of humour. (PROSE: Twilight of the Gods)

Benny described him as a "rough diamond" with "a heart of gold and a roving eye", but she knew that he loved her. (PROSE: The Dying Days) Hass found him to be immature (PROSE: Against Gardens) and Emile Mars-Smith believed that his sense of humour was less developed than a six-year-old's. (PROSE: Deadfall) Braxiatel never thought that he was good enough for Benny. (AUDIO: The End of the World)

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Jason was about six foot tall. (PROSE: Deadfall) He was lithe, muscular (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) and brown-haired, (PROSE: Happy Endings) although he dyed it blond during his marriage and for a time after the divorce. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad, Beyond the Sun, Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Doomsday Manuscript) He often had stubble. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy, Deadfall)

His torso had a number of scars, some self-inflicted by his attempt at giving himself tattoos when he was fourteen. He also had a broken nose and a golden upper-right canine tooth which he thought made him look somewhat piratical. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy) Benny believed that he looked laddish and was attractive in a "traditional sort of way". (PROSE: Beyond the Sun) He often wore the brown (PROSE: Deadfall) leather jacket that he had been wearing when he was transported to the Dagellan Cluster. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)

After beginning his career as an author, Jason started wearing cheap plastic glasses and put on weight, developing a slight double chin. His hairline had also begun to recede by then. (PROSE: Beige Planet Mars) Due to the Gilhooly Theory of Transdimensional Contrivance, he did not age whilst wandering across dimensions. (PROSE: Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Infernal Nexus)

Before interviewing Jason Kane, Mega-City News informed the Justice Department that his resemblance to "notorious Cursed Earth brigand 'Captain' Jack Harkness" was purely coincidental. (PROSE: Psykogeddon)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

A blond-haired Jason on the cover of PROSE: Deadfall.
  • Despite being described as brown-haired in-text, Jason Kane was mistakenly depicted with blond hair on the cover of the novel Deadfall, making him resemble Chris Cwej. However, despite Cwej also appearing in Deadfall, writer Gary Russell confirmed that the individual depicted on the cover was intended to be Jason Kane, as betrayed by his outfit.[1]
