During [[Operation GUERRERO]], the government of the planet of [[Zurich]] fell. Formerly a Capellan world, it was conquered during the Fourth Succession War. The new government was composed of ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]'' rebels who had been fighting the old government. Led by [[Xu Ning]], the new government executing hundreds of persons publicly, arresting and torturing more. Numerous resistance groups were born, the most effective of which was a cell led by the so-called [[Dancing Joker]], who left a poker card of a joker behind as a calling card.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 278</ref>

When the old Capellan planet of [[Zurich]] government fell, following at [[Operation GUERRERO]], a new government would arise, composed by the ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]'' who had been fighting the old government.  
 +
Led by [[Xu Ning]], the new government was a tyrannical one, executing hundreds of persons publicly, arresting and torturing more...
 +
Almost immediately a resistance was born. The most effective of them was a cell led by a man who made himself call [[Dancing Joker]], who sign their attacks leaving a poker card of a joker behind.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 278</ref>
  
Dancing Joker's success led to copycat groups forming, who also took to leaving poker cards. One of them was Jacko Diamond, who was so named for the cards he (or she) left behind. Dancing Joker himself mentioned possibly recruiting Jacko when speaking about recruiting more people to his cell, but it is unclear if the two ever met.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 254-256</ref>
+
His success made other groups form, most of them copycat who also sign leaving poker cards. One of them was Jacko Diamond.
 +
Jacko received that name for the cards he (or she) left behind. A member of the Joker group mentioned "Jacko Diamond is the only one who's any good", affirmation who speaks volumes of his efficiency. Probably, the only effective resistance units on Zurich were Jacko and Joker's.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 254</ref>
 +
The Dancing Joker itself, when speaking about recruiting more members for his unit, mentioned about recruiting Jacko, but never did it. In fact, with all the ego of the Joker, is very doubtful he will recruit for his group another popular person.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 256</ref>
  
The secret of Diamond's origin and success was revealed when [[Tormano Liao]], the recently-deposed leader of the [[Free Capella Movement]], revealed to [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]], that Jacko was one of his operatives, but even Tormano admitted that Diamond was less successful than the Dancing Joker.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 330</ref>
+
The mystery about who was Jacko, and how can be so effective, was revealed in Tharkad. Then, in a meeting with [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]], [[Tormano Liao]], the leader of [[Free Capella Movement]], recently deposed by [[Kai Allard-Liao]], revealed Jacko was one of his operatives. "He is not as successful as the Dancing Joker", he admitted.<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 330</ref>
 
+
Soon later, Zurich government fell, thanks to the Joker's group attacks, mainly, and the planet returned to Federated Commonwealth control. The destiny and identity of Jacko, or even if he worked alone or led a group, remains a mystery.
The Zurich government eventually fell thanks to the Dancing Joker's actions, and the planet was returned to Federated Commonwealth control. Most details of Jacko Diamond remain a mystery, including their true identity, their eventual fate, or even if they worked alone or led a group.
