Jack Reilly was the lover of Norman Jayden who died prior to the events of Heavy Rain. He was also involved in the development of the experimental ARI prototype and worked with Mercer, a lawyer associated with the program. Like Norman, Reilly was also secretly addicted to Triptocaine. Reilly died of an apparent overdose in his penthouse, leading Norman to investigate and discover the true cause of his death through clues Reilly left behind.
Background[]
As the Chronicles episode Reilly would have appeared in was never released, not much is known about him.
It is known that he met Jayden after presenting the ARI to the FBI. At some point the two fell in love, and he gave Norman a key to his penthouse. During the relationship, Reilly began abusing ARI for trivial reasons. Prior to his death, he confided in Norman that he was addicted to Triptocaine. He planned to disclose the addictive nature of the drug and/or the ARI to the public, but was killed as part of a cover-up, with his death staged to look like a suicide.
