Physical Appearance
Jax is shown to have very nice light tan skin with black Elvis inspired hair and hazel eyes. Jax wears a black leather jacket with khaki pants and black combat boots. He also has a very strong Australian accent.
Personality
Jax is a rebellious wizard who loves using his powers. To others, he comes off as arrogant, sarcastic, and rude. He is very quirky and is not afraid to ask questions. He is also very curious about everyone. He has shown his sensitive/soft side around Emma except for his sensitiveness around his father. He's not the kind of person to show much emotion unless it's the pride of his own insults or sarcastic comments although Emma has seen him broken and his act of arrogance drops.
In Season 2, Emma was the second person to meet Jax. Jax has been in love with Emma since then. She was assigned to show Jax around the school. Jax knows that Emma is a witch. Emma even invited him to lunch and later met Andi. Jax would often follow Emma around and spy on her. He even offered to help Emma with her transportation spells. In the Season 2 episode, Daniel Who? he and Emma accidentally erase Daniel's memory. It is shown that when Daniel got his memory back, Jax became a little bit upset, which means he began to develop feelings for Emma. In the episode Stormageddon, he shares details about his family with Emma and she learns that there is more to him than meets the eye. In About a Wizard, Jax sacrificed his powers to save Emma's powers, and Emma kissed Jax to thank him and then they became a couple. They broke up in The Abyss because Emma thought they were too different and he should be with someone more like him. It was later discovered that Jax's father was forcing him to use Emma to destroy the Magic Realm during the last light of the fool moon but instead Jax actually developed feelings for Emma. At the end of the season Jax ended up betraying his dad and he saved Emma. Jax continued to have feelings for Emma but at this time she was still dating Daniel.
In Season 3, he was sent to Rebel's Boot Camp as a punishment for almost destroying the realm. When Emma is sent there, they instantly bonded again. Jax is trying to show Emma that he has changed and that he really wants to become a good person. When school starts, they become closer than ever, and Emma overtime realizes she still has feelings for him. He is shown to be more caring this season, standing by when Daniel went "Darko" when Mia tried to destroy her, and when she stood up to the council. In the season 3 finale, New Witch Order, Emma chose Jax over Daniel and transports to the pool where they share a romantic kiss and are finally back together.
In Season 4, Jax and Emma are officially back together, but due to the Continuum Break, Jax and everyone else's memories are replaced/altered so no one but Emma remembers Daniel. As Emma continues to try and get Daniel to remember his real life, Emma is letting this affect her relationship with Jax as he grows more and more jealous. Emma has told Jax that he shouldn't be jealous because she chose him. In The Final Countdown, Jax sees Emma kissing Daniel, and believes she wants to be with him. However, she took him back in time to show that she pushed Daniel away and said she is with Jax. They kissed and reconcile, and Jax finally tells her about seeing his mother, whom he thought was dead. Emma has been encouraging Jax to keep seeing his mother. Emma is being very supportive of everything that's going on with Jax and his family. When Emma starts to miss her mother she decides to go back in time and save her mother. Jax helps her to do this because he knows that this would make Emma be happy. It was later discovered that Jax's mother has been tricking Emma and Jax to use the orb so that she can steal Emma's powers.
Liana's plan was to use Emma's powers and give it to Jessie and Jax so they can rule the realm as a family. Once Jax knew his mother's true intentions he then betrayed her and saved Emma Jax was very upset about what happened with his mother and Emma was there to comfort him. In the final moments of the series, Andi was leaving to go to the WITS Academy and Jax came to say goodbye to Andi. Once Andi leaves Emma says "I feel like a part of our lives is ending" and then Jax says "that's true but it's also a new beginning." Emma starts crying and asks Jax "what do you think it's going to be like" and then Jax replies and says "I not sure but I do know one thing, that as long as if we have each other then we'll be okay." They smile at each other and share a passionate kiss and then Every Witch Way ends.
Jax and Andi don't get along at first but they become "friends" later in Season 2 after he helped Emma repeatedly with her magic related issues. They're both in the Sharks. When Andi found out that Jax cheated to earn himself a
spot on The Sharks, she banned him but later on accepted it as well. When Emma brought Phillip out of the game, he agreed with Andi that he should stay awhile. In the season finale, Andi helped Jax open the Magic Realm and get his powers back and in return, he said he'd bring back Philip, which he didn't do. Andi then called him a trader and banned him from the Sharks for life. Though he ended up not destroying the realm and gave Emma her powers back, Andi didn't look like she forgave him.
In Season 3, they put their differences aside and become friends when Emma once again needs help. They team up to find out if the spider seal is still on Daniel and go looking for the Crystal De Caballero in the principal's offices so they can free Emma and Maddie from its hold on them. Andi along with Emma seems to believe that Jax has changed and she would have to accept him if she becomes a guardian.
In Season 4, Andi often helps him with he and Emma's relationship. In the season 4 episode, Stuck in a Storm, Daniel gives Emma some water and he becomes jealous. Andi tells him "Look, I'm only gonna say this once Emma's nuts about you, in this reality, her reality, where ever." he then asks "How do you know that?" she responds "Because I know Emma and so do you, which is why we should trust that whatever she's doing, she has to do." which makes him feel better. In Twisted Sister, she agrees to 'babysit' his sister Jessie so he can train for nationals. He laughs when he finds out she taped Jessie to a classroom door. They along with Emma, Diego, Gigi, and the Panthers travel to a restaurant called Lola's to help Daniel get his memories back. Jax and Andi have grown a lot as friends. When Andi left to go to the WITS Academy Jax came to say goodbye before she left and asked her to take care of his sister. They hug before she leaves.

feelings for Emma. When she and Jax are together they aren't friends anymore and he is more determined to get her back. They go head to head many times about who should be with Emma In the season 2 finale, Daniel gets Emma back. In Season 3, they are still fighting for her, one believing he is better than the other, but the decision is up to Emma When Daniel breaks up with her yet again in Season 3 (The Truth About Kanays) Jax is there to comfort her about it and says she should be with a wizard.

Jax does still gets jealous when he was around Emma but now Jax seems confident that Tessa likes him and he doesn't get jealous during the back half of Season 4. After Emma sends Daniel back to the Everglades, Jax once again loses his memory of him; as everyone else does.

When Jake sees Jessie it seems that he recognized her. So Jax thinks his Dad is keeping a big secret from him. Jake erased Jax's memories of Jessie when he was 5 years old and told him that his mother passed away but instead, Jax's mother left his father and took Jessie away with her. The truth later came out that Liana was actually and wanted to raise Jax and Jessie to become enough to destroy the realm and Jake never approved of this so then Liana then decided to take Jessie.
