"Jammer" (real name unknown) is a character introduced in Killzone 3. She is one of the ISA survivors of the failed Operation Archangel. Marooned on Helghan following the death of the Helghast Autarch, Scolar Visari, and the Helghast counterattack which devastated the ISA armada sent to carry out Operation Archangel.
Biography
Jammer is a female corporal in the ISA. Like all the troops stranded on Helghan, she participated in Operation Archangel and was marooned on Helghan following Helghast counter-attack that devastated the invasion fleet.
On the day of the evacuation, Jammer and her platoon were pinned down by the Helghast. Unfortunately, the intruders Captain Jason Narville had sent to evacuate her platoon were destroyed and he couldn't spare anyone else. Rico went to aid them instead, but by the time they fought their way out and were spotted by Narville and Sev, the remaining ISA Cruisers were shot down by MAWLR fire.
During the six months marooned on Helghan, Rico had formed the Raiders and Jammer was second-in-command. When it had been discovered that Narville and Tomas Sevchenko had been captured by Jorhan Stahl's private army, the Raiders launched a daring assault and rescued Sev but lost Narville's dropship. This then unfolds into a prolonged assault on numerous defense platforms. After successfully clearing the path. Rico orders Jammer and the rest of the Raiders back to base while he and Sev infiltrate Stahl's base. After Narville was saved, Jammer and the Raiders arrived at Stahl's base, clearly disobeying Rico's orders but Rico himself didn't mind it at all as they needed evac anyway. Jammer is then ordered to take Narville and the other freed POWs back to base to prepare and set out to chase after Stahl, who was planning on using experimental weapons to destroy Earth.
Jammer and all of the rest of the stranded ISA arrive to the space elevator, leading to the space station where Stahl and Admiral Orlock's forces were meeting.

Characteristics
Jammer is an attractive young woman of Hispanic heritage and is always seen with a hood over her head and eye black. She is relatively laid-back, easy-going, and is hardly ever seen stressed. She respects Rico's leadership, but like Rico, she would wave off "bullshit orders" from time to time, something she states that Rico himself taught. She has been credited and self-regarded as crazy, one such occasion being when she was forced to drive through the garbage shredder in a hasty rescue save Sev and Rico from being killed by it.
She appears to possess some technical skill, including knowledge of Helghast mechanical and computer systems, also like Luger, Jammer shows impressive skills in both hand to hand and ranged combat, though she can be overwhelmed, like at the end of Killzone 3 on the Space Station, she requires the help from Hooper to subdue the Helghast guarding the keycard. She's an excellent fighter pilot, using both an ISA Intruder and a Helghast Strike Ship extremely well. However, she can get a bit reckless, like as when she tries to lower her Intruder pick up Sev and Rico, but constantly dodges RPG fire in the process.
