History
Jared was a HYDRA field agent, who on orders by his superior General Wyndham started a romantic relationship with Jessica Drew, in order to keep an eye on her, while she was briefly a part of the organization.[2][3] When Kurtz was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. during a "goodwill mission", Drew, under her original codename "Agent Arachne", sneaked into a holding facility to free him, only to inadvertently kill him in the ensuing firefight.[2]
It was only later that she learned that Jared was actually on a bombing mission in Morocco that killed several civilians, and that the entirety of HYDRA was nothing but a ruthless terrorist squad.[4]
It was later further established, that he, in fact, didn't die at all at the hands of Jessica during his escape attempt but, was kept as a prisoner in a S.H.I.E.L.D. holding cell under psychic interrogation for 8 months before being freed by his fellow agents. He later confronted Jessica in the nightclub Excelsior in London and attempted to kill her for abandoning and betraying their organization, but she knocked him unconscious, strapped him on a plane, and crashed it into a nearby HYDRA facility before making her escape.[4]See Also
