Background

Jake Sully was a human who served with the U.S. Marine Corps 1st Reconnaissance Battalion but was discharged after an injury left him paralyzed from the waist down.

After his identical twin brother Tom dies, Jake agrees to replace him in the RDA's Avatar Program on Pandora, where humans control human/Na'vi hybrids to safely go through the planet. Jake turns against the RDA after supporting the Na'vi and mating with a Na'vi woman, Neytiri. After leading the Na'vi in a successful battle against the RDA, his consciousness is forever transferred into his avatar via the Tree of Souls.^[4]

Over the next fifteen years, Jake has three children with Neytiri: Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Tuk and adopts one other, Kiri.
