Things we know about the Jackal

Since we didn't know much about him (even his name) I tried to think of some facts about the Jackal. Please add on to the list:

He's American.
He speaks Russian and learned Spanish in El Salvador.
He likes Korean food.
When he is himself (not in the costumes), he wears expensive fancy suits.
He likes to watch animal planet or at least programs about animal behavior.
Spent time in the military...most likely was Special Forces, Delta Force, SEALs, or something elite.
He likes to drink expensive champagne (the bottle in the hotel was in gold wrapping, so I'm just assuming it was probably expensive).
He likes Massive Attack (the music playing in the hotel).
He may not have family or close friends since he has a career in being invisible.

Can anyone think of anything else?

<he is gay?>

No, I don't think that he was gay. He was simply using the gay guy to have a place to hole up without having to show ID.

At least that's what I think.

No, he wasn't gay. He needed a place to crash. Staying at a hotel would have been too risky esp. since he would've had that weapon in his van.

hole up...ha ha.

The Day of the Jackal had that too, but I think it was someone who either had information he needed or something like that. It's been years since I saw that movie.

When you get to hell, tell them Itchy sent ya.
