So who exactly is this guy? I've played through the game completely, but the audio logs scattered throughout Pandora reveal little about the man behind the mask.
What is his backstory? Where did he come into power as head of Hyperion? Where does his daughter fit into all of this?

Voiced By Dameon Clarke
Handsome Jack spent his childhood caring for his grandmother, who was physically abusive towards her grandson. The trauma from the abuse led to his eventual mental decline and the murder of his grandmother.
As an adult Handsome Jack was just a programmer for Hyperion before his rise to power, and was known simply as John.
Not long after his wife's disappearance,
He killed and manipulated his way to Hyperion Presidency.
