Jak, Daxter, Keira, Torn, and Ashelin are invited to Kras City for the reading of Krew's will, courtesy of his daughter, Rayn. (She apparently takes after her mother, as she is quite lovely.) In accordance with Krew's wishes, the reading is preceded by a toast to Krew's death, with a bottle of wine that he had kept for the very occasion. Everyone present, including Rayn, drinks a glassful. (Jak looks suspicious, and he does not drink until he sees Rayn do the same and is satisfied that the wine is safe.)

After the toast, the recording of the will is played. Krew tells the group that he never fulfilled his lifelong dream of winning the Kras City Grand Championship, the biggest race on the planet--and he goes on to say that they will race on his behalf. They initially refuse, but then he reveals that the wine they just drank contained a slow-acting but lethal poison which will give them just enough time to complete the quickly impending racing season. If their team wins for him, his associates will provide them each with the antidote. Ashelin angrily advances on Rayn, who insists she did not know about her father's scheme; she drank the poison too, she reminds her.

The team is thus left with no option except to race and win.

A few races later, Daxter remarks that he feels fine and speculates that the poison was merely a bluff. However, Ashelin tells him that she had the bottle analyzed and found that it had indeed contained poison.

They are later joined by an old friend: Sig. He had wisely opted out of attending the reading of the will; "I say never trust a dead man." However, he has come to help his friends obtain the antidote. "Easy for you to say. Your life's not on the line," says Ashelin, to which he replies, "For my friends, it is."

The gang meets G.T. Blitz, the Kras City racing commissioner and the host of the television broadcasts of the races. He looks out for number one; he wants high ratings, and if a few people get injured or killed along the way, so be it. The show is infused with plenty of action when Jak and company enter the competition, but why does he seem to resent their successes?

Blitz is soon joined by a new co-host: our favorite colorful loudmouth, Pecker! Blitz is clearly irritated by having to share the spotlight with this upstart. Pecker has also been assigned by the network to investigate the rumors that there is a large underworld bet riding on the championship race and that someone, possibly the mysterious crime lord known as Mizo, is manipulating the events.

Jak finds Rayn listening to additional material on the recording of Krew's will. When she sees Jak, she hurriedly hits the pause button. "I took the liberty of going back through Dad's things," she explains. "I found his decoder for the will. There's more on the disc. I think it's his journal." At Jak's request, she plays it back for him. Krew reveals that, in order to avoid a costly gang war, he made a bet with Mizo: each would assemble a racing team and compete in the championship, and the loser had to leave town, leaving it under the winner's control.

"You must believe me, Jak. I never knew my father was into all this," says Rayn, seeming quite shocked at what they've just heard. "Hell, I never knew my father at all."

We learn that G.T. Blitz's father was a racer--one of the best in Kras City. However, during a race on the same track where he had won his first championship a few years before, he was in a wreck that took his life. In a later conversation, he tells Pecker that his father spent more time racing than taking care of the family. "Even before my father died, I was on my own."

After further investigation, Pecker informs Jak and co. that the racing syndicate which Mizo runs has been fixing races for a long time. Jak's team is "the only wild card out there, and they don't like it."

Just before the third of four Grand Prix events, Blitz delivers a recorded message from Mizo to Jak. In it, Mizo (his face obscured by shadows) offers to spare the lives of Jak and his teammates on the condition that they drop out of the competition. When Jak turns down the offer, Blitz is very surprised; he also seems upset about something, but what?

After winning the third Grand Prix, Jak is very close to qualifying for the final race. In the next minor event, while on the track, he is horrified to discover that his vehicle's weapons have been disabled! "You know, you should have your vehicle inspected before each race," taunts one of Mizo's henchmen. "Otherwise, someone might tamper with it."

Jak, Daxter, Keira, Ashelin, and Pecker approach Blitz after the race. They tell him that the explosives used in sabotaging Jak's vehicle were the same type that killed Blitz's father, meaning that the same people who want Jak and co. dead are the ones who killed him. Blitz says with annoyance, "So the syndicate killed my old man. I'm not surprised. He was arrogant and cocky anyway." He still seems to have no concern for anything except the show's ratings.

Tensions run high when Blitz reveals to Rayn that Jak was responsible for Krew's death, having "left him to die in a terrible explosion. How heartless can you get?" Jak, who had been just about to confess when Blitz barged in, tries to explain that he'd had no choice but to leave Krew behind, but Rayn won't hear of it. "Your father wasn't such a good guy. He killed a lot of people," he says after Blitz leaves.

"And you think Mizo's any better? If we lose this championship, the whole city will suffer! Agggh...you wouldn't understand."

At long last, the day of the final race arrives. Blitz announces that there has been a late entry for the Mizo team, who turns out to be Blitz himself!

After Jak finally wins the Kras City Grand Championship, Blitz is furious. It turns out that he really is Mizo! "Losing this bet changes nothing," he snarls at Rayn. "I'll crush your family and this whole city! No one else will ever know."

"No one except for 200 million viewers, that is," says Pecker, perched atop a camera which has captured every word.

With a growl of frustration, Mizo snatches the antidotes from Rayn's hands, jumps into his car, and speeds off. Jak pursues him in a high-speed chase which ends with Mizo wedged behind the wheel of the mangled, burning remains of his car. "She'll betray you, you know," he says weakly as Jak picks up the antidotes.

"Are you still talking?"

"Rayn. She'll become even worse than me."

"Right. Like how you killed your own father."

"And why not? He left us for his sick love of racing. And when he did, we vowed to own the whole damn sport. All of it! Every last part!"

When Jak turns to leave, Mizo observes, "You have a habit of leaving people to die, don't you?"

Jak stops briefly but does not turn around. "You get used to it," he says grimly, right before Mizo's vehicle explodes, killing the crime lord.

After thanking the group for their help, Rayn takes her leave, but nobody notices the sly smile on her face as she walks away. Daxter spots Krew's journal, which she left behind.

"Hello, Rayn dear," says Krew. "It's our little secret, eh? Just pour into your glass first, three seconds and no more, and yours will have no poison. The rest will get a full dose. Then we'll take down that miserable Mizo and be the top crime family in Kras City! I only wish I could be there to give you a big hug. Like father, like daughter, eh?"

We see Rayn driving away, talking to somebody on a cell phone. She says smugly that she's running the city now and that Krew was "too soft."

"No, don't eliminate the racers. They were my friends...although probably not any longer. Ah, well. It's just business."

The group is understandably shocked by what they've just learned, but, as Daxter says, "The important thing is we won...and we're alive."

"And we brought down that scumbag, Mizo," adds Sig.

"And we rocked the racing circuit! Right, Jak?" No answer. "I said, right, Jak?"

Jak still doesn't answer, because his attention is on a certain female mechanic. The two move to kiss each other...

"HEY!" exclaims Daxter, interrupting them for the third time in the series. They both glare at him, but then he says, "Will ya kiss her already? Sheesh."

With that, Keira grabs Jak by his jacket, pulls him close, and kisses him full on the lips. "Oh, yeah," says Daxter. "That's what I call a photo finish."

Yes Jak is Mar.
You figure that out in Jak 3.

Yes Jak's real name is Mar but we don't know if he is the real Mar. He could just be named after him (I believe the term house of Mar appeared in the game).

Personally I think it would be a nice twist if Mar turned out to be still alive and the leader of the Dark Makers.
