Dack Majors is a 19-year-old Pokemon Trainer from Snowpoint City. He joined Team Rocket three years ago.
History
Early Life/Pre-Team Rocket
Not much is known about Dack's early life. Having grown up in Snowpoint, he quickly developed a liking for cold weather. His parents had moved to this remote location soon after the war between Team Liberty and Team Rocket began, in hopes of avoiding it. On his tenth birthday, Dack received his first Pokemon, a Tailow. After showing off his new Pokemon to his friends Matthew, Luke, and Madison, Dack was confronted by his nemesis Adam, who used his Snover to brutally defeat Dack and Tailow.
Over the next six years, Dack nursed a grudge against Adam and trained intensely in hopes of defeating him. At the age of sixteen, Dack discovered that Adam had left Snowpoint to join Team Liberty. To counter this, Dack decided to join Team Rocket, much to his parents' and friends' distress.
Team Rocket
For the next three years, Dack lived at Purgatory, Team Rocket's Sinnoh base, slowly making his way up the ranks.
Early Missions
On Dack's first mission for Team Rocket, he caught a Shinx. Then his instructor, Kevin, had him use the Shinx to stop a group of Pokemon smugglers attemting to sell the Gible found in Wayward Cave.
His Tailow later evolved into a Swellow, and he began using it as a method of transportation. He also started a small "rivalry" with a fellow Rocket member, Hannah. The two Rockets disagreed on the best method of using flying Pokemon for transportation: while Hannah preferred the traditional method of flying upon her Staraptor's back, Dack would wear a protective pad on his shoulders so his Swellow could carry him with its talons.
About a year after his first mission, Dack was assigned a leading position in a mission to capture a group of Liberty Agents plotting to attack a Rocket outpost near Jubilife City. The Liberty Agents pretended to be members of the Pokemon Fan Club, but Dack saw through their disguise. However, as the Liberty Agents started to make a run for it, Dack was attacked by one of them, who turned out to be his old enemy Adam. The two rivals battled, both showing off the new Pokemon they had caught in the past year (Dack had his Shinx and Adam had a Lairon). Although Dack's Shinx evolved into a Luxio, Adam was able to defeat Dack and rescue his fellow Liberty operatives, causing Team Rocket's mission to fail. However, Dack was not deterred by this defeat, instead vowing to work even harder to defeat Adam.
Two years later, Dack spotted Adam on the television, leading a riot against Team Rocket in Sootopolis City, Hoenn. Dack immediately signed up for a mission in the region. The mission was to capture known enemies of Team Rocket, although it would start in Fortree and work its way to Sootopolis. In Fortree, Dack helped capture the parents of Ryan Sanders. Ryan walked in on the scene and managed to escape, but Dack hunted him down. The two had a breif fight before Ryan escaped again. Dack was forced to stay behind to search for Ryan while the main group went on to the other cities in Hoenn to continue their mission. He never found any sign of the boy, nor did he ever get the chance to challenge Adam in Sootopolis. Although Team Rocket had counted the boy as a loss, Dack was certain that they hadn’t seen the last of him, and that Ryan would return with a vengance.
Snowpoint City Avalanche
When Dack heard of the avalanche that wiped out Snowpoint (caused by a Team Liberty attempt to recruit Regigigas), he was devastated. Dropping his current mission, he returned to his hometown for the first time in three years. He tried to unearth his home, but it was covered in too much snow. His parents were not among the survivors. While searching through the ruins, Dack found an Armor Fossil. He took it with him back to Purgatory, along with a newfound hatred for Team Liberty.
Manaphy Mission
After reviving the Armor Fossil in the Oreburgh museum and obtaining the Sheildon that came from it, Dack signed up for Soil Colossus, Inc.'s mission to obtain a Manaphy. After teleporting to Rustboro City, the assembled Team Rocket members joined up with a group from Team Liberty, and together they took a plane to the Unova Region. There, the allied team traveled to Undella Town, from which they dove just outside of Unova's sea border to the underwater Ice Geode, home of the Manaphy Soil Colossus had requested. Once inside the Ice Geode, the group continued on to the inner chamber, where Manaphy waited. The allied Rocket and Liberty members attacked the Manaphy, but shortly after the battle started, Team Magma's leader Maxie interrupted, threw a Master Ball at the Manaphy, and caught it, initiating a new search for Maxie in the Hoenn Region.
Upon returning to the beach of Undella Bay, however, the group was attacked by a Shadow Genesect. After a short battle, the Shadow Pokemon escaped.
Alliance with Ben
Throughout the Manaphy Mission, Dack had kept a close eye on Liberty Agent Ryan Sanders, who he thought seemed familiar. Fellow Rocket member Ben Grindport noticed this, and, as Ben had a grudge against Ryan's friend Alex Lockwood, he suggested that he and Dack team up against the two Liberty Agents. Dack agreed, hoping to confirm his suspicions about Ryan. When Ryan and Alex teleported to Sootopolis with the rest of the members of Team Liberty, Dack and Ben grabbed on to the teleport and followed. From there, the two overheard Ryan and Alex deciding to search for Maxie in Lilycove on their way to Ryan's hometown of Fortree. As the Liberty Agents traveled to Lilycove by sea, Dack and Ben traveled there by air, preparing to ambush them.
However, Alex and Ryan did not appear in Lilycove (an underwater current had blown them off course to Mt. Pyre) and so after waiting for a while, Dack decided that they go to Fortree, where he knew the Liberty Agents would eventually appear.

Appearance
Dack has messy black hair, brown eyes, and is somewhat muscular, standing roughly 6 feet tall. When not wearing the standard Rocket uniform, he prefers a dark red T-shirt covered by a large black jacket, and blue jeans. Under his jacket he has a protective pad on his shoulders so his Swellow can carry him with its talons.
Personality
Strong-willed and strategic, Dack has great confidence in his abilities as a trainer. However, this confidence has given him an arrogant attitude. He has developed a close bond with each of his Pokemon, and nurses a bitter hatred toward Team Liberty.
