Lore dump time because I can’t help myself. It’s less of a codename and more of a sobriquet but Isaac originally started to get called “jackal” when he was still part of the Turkish military, it was mostly used derogatively because he was untrustworthy and selfish, and his commanders saw him as a coward despite being a skilled soldier. The “glass” part of his name was acquired after the military when he worked in a different mercenary organisation; on his first mission he was sent to raid an enemy base but as he was escaping some of the bombs him and his team had placed got set off too early and he got caught near the blast outside where the windows shattered and sent the glass flying, causing a lot of the shards to slice into his body, and it’s where most of his scars came from. After some time in the mercenary organisation he became a lot more callous and honed his skills more, earning a bit of a reputation in the area so the “jackal” part of his name started to become more associated with death—like in Egyptian mythology—as well as his speed and precision with weapons rather than as a demeaning insult.
