He soon discovers that he is suspected of the assassination of President William Sheridan. Throughout the albums he tries to regain his memory and to find out the true facts surrounding the assassination of the president. Although his memory does not return, he gradually learns more about who he is. His real name is Jason Mullway. However, because he was adopted at a young age (after the death of his mother and the disappearance of his father) by Jonathan MacLane, a cousin of his father Sean Mullway, he officially bears the name Jason MacLane.</li></ul> <ul><li><b>General Benjamin (Ben) Carrington</b>: He holds a senior military position in the Pentagon. He is convinced that XIII is innocent and he helps him regain his memory.</li></ul> <ul><li><b>Jones</b>: She is Carrington's assistant and she was also trained by him. As a permanent partner, she supports XIII everywhere. She is a skilled pilot, both for airplanes and helicopters. While she is still a lieutenant in the first stories, she has now risen to the rank of colonel.</li></ul> <ul><li><b>Mongoose</b>: XIII's arch-enemy is an assassin who fears nothing. Initially they call him Schreiner, because he is an apprentice to a Berlin carpenter, this is revealed in <i>XIII Mystery</i>: The Mongoose. He was hired by Number I to kill XIII. XIII lost his memory due to a bullet from the Mongoose.</li></ul> <ul><li><b>Colonel Amos</b>: He had to solve the murder of William Sheridan and first suspected XIII, who was able to escape.

The only clues to his past are a tattoo of the <a href="/wiki/Roman_numerals" title="Roman numerals">Roman numerals</a> "XIII" on his collarbone and a photo of himself with a woman, who is identified as Kim Rowland, widow of <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">US Army</a> captain Steve Rowland. Volumes 1 through 5 deal with "XIII" searching for his identity and past. He finds himself hunted by a contract killer, the "Mongoose", who works for a mysterious organization known as XX, which aims to mount a <a href="/wiki/Coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="Coup d'état">coup</a> against the US government. XIII is rescued from XX's assassins by Colonel Amos of the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">FBI</a>, who confronts XIII with video evidence that shows XIII assassinating the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President</a>. </p><p>In the second volume, XIII is captured by General Carrington and his aide, Lieutenant Jones. Carrington confirms that XIII is Rowland, and further explains that Rowland was a member of a <a href="/wiki/Special_operations" title="Special operations">special operations</a> unit called Special Assault and Destroying Sections (SPADS). Carrington had been commander of SPADS when Rowland was supposedly <a href="/wiki/Killed_in_action" title="Killed in action">killed in action</a> two years earlier. Because XIII's amnesia prevents him from identifying who sponsored the President's assassination, Amos lets him go. XIII reunites with his father and his uncle, but they are both murdered by XIII's young, gold-digging stepmother Felicity, who frames him after harming herself. XIII escapes the police with Carrington's help and meets Kim, an XX member known as "XVII", who reveals that XIII is not Steve Rowland. XIII is arrested by the police and Kim disappears. XIII is found guilty for the murders and sent to a maximum security prison. </p><p>The third volume finds Amos, still pursuing his investigation, realizing that XIII was a <a href="/wiki/Body_double" class="mw-redirect" title="Body double">body double</a> for the real Steve Rowland. Amos requests Carrington's help to identify people who have been trained as top-level special operators and match XIII's physique; Amos's aim is to discover XIII's true identity. Carrington provides the papers of about twenty people. One, named Ross Tanner, has been missing for two years. Amos decides to leave XIII in prison to have his amnesia treated. The treatment fails, and the Mongoose tries to have XIII killed in the prison. Carrington helps XIII break out. </p><p>Volume four begins with Amos finding that Carrington had invented the Tanner identity and suspecting him of being part of the conspiracy to kill the President. XIII, under the name of Ross Tanner, has been hidden by Carrington in a SPADS training facility in the fictitious <a href="/wiki/Latin_America" title="Latin America">Latin American</a> country of San Miguel. Amos continues to delve into the files and learns that Rowland was murdered shortly after the assassination. Amos now assumes that Rowland was the real assassin, and is confused about XIII's real role, but he exposes Judge Allenby, the head of the investigation, as one of the conspirators. Amos interrogates Allenby, who is killed by the Mongoose's assassin; Amos himself is rescued by Kim. Meanwhile, a female SPADS Sergeant named Betty Barnowsky reveals to XIII that she saw Rowland in Eastown after his alleged death, in the company with SPADS Colonel Seymour McCall. XIII, Barnowsky, and Jones escape an assassination attempt by McCall but end up lost in the San Miguel jungle. </p><p>Kim takes Amos to Carrington and <a href="/wiki/Director_of_National_Intelligence" title="Director of National Intelligence">National Intelligence Director</a> Carl Heideger, who reveal that, after faking his death in the helicopter crash, Rowland contacted Kim and forced her to be a member of the conspiracy. Kim, not sharing the conspiracy's ideology, and herself a former secret agent, secretly alerted her former boss, Heideger. Despite having this information, however, Heideger was unable to prevent the assassination of the President. Rowland was shot by the Mongoose, but he escaped, mortally wounded, and died shortly after telling Kim what had happened. Heideger and Carrington then came up with a plan to make XX believe that Rowland had survived, hoping to attract the Mongoose's killers, arrest them, and follow their trail to the conspirators. They sourced a man named Jason Fly who was transformed into a Rowland double, but soon after, Fly disappeared, when he was shot and lost his memory, just before the story began. Kim is also revealed to be Carrington's daughter. </p><p>At the start of volume five, XIII, Jones, and Barnowsky kidnap the Marquis de Préseau, a rich French land owner in San Miguel, to steal his jet to fly back to the US. Meanwhile, Carrington and Heideger have been arrested by the conspirators as they prepare to take over the country during a large-scale <a href="/wiki/Military_exercise" title="Military exercise">military exercise</a>. XIII and the women meet with Amos, who brings them into contact with Walter Sheridan, brother of the assassinated President and himself a candidate for presidency. </p><p>Sheridan helps XIII infiltrate the military's center of operations, and, together with President Galbrain, manage to stop the conspiracy at the last moment. The entire conspiracy group, with the exception of the illustrious Number I, has been either killed or captured. Walter is elected President, and Kim remains missing for reasons unknown. At the end of the story, XIII believes he has found his old identity as Jason Fly and is prepared to continue his life normally, even if his memories have not yet returned. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Volumes_6–8"><span id="Volumes_6.E2.80.938"></span>Volumes 6–8</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=XIII_(comics)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Volumes 6–8"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the following volumes, XIII takes up the investigation about his past.

The Mongoose still tracks XIII with the blessing of McClane's assassins, but XIII evades the manhunt, gets justice for the murder of his father and manages to arrest the Mongoose, who reveals that he was on Number I's boat when he shot the bullet that made XIII amnesic, but divulges no further information about Number I. The story ends with XIII finally finding his true identity as Jason McClane. </p><p>In volume eight, XIII is approached by President Sheridan to become a special agent and is charged with finding Number I. The Mongoose escapes from custody. XIII tracks down Kim, guessing that she stayed in hiding because she knows Number I's identity. He discovers that one of the boats close to the spot where he was found amnesic is Sheridan's <a href="/wiki/Yacht" title="Yacht">yacht</a>. Meanwhile, Jones investigates further and discovers that Kim had a <a href="/wiki/Legitimacy_(family_law)" title="Legitimacy (family law)">love child</a> with Sheridan. After passing on this information to XIII, they become convinced that Sheridan was in fact Number I, and used the XX to have his brother killed and propel himself to the Presidency. Sheridan had the child kidnapped to force Kim to marry Rowland, to betray Jason when Heideger's plan threatened to expose him as Number I, and have him lured onto his yacht where XIII was shot by the Mongoose. After trying to release Kim from an island where they believe she is sequestered, XIII and Jones, along with Kim, are caught by the Mongoose, who sinks Sheridan's yacht with an explosive. XIII only manages to rescue Jones, and Kim is presumed dead. </p><p>XIII finally faces Sheridan, who has been exposed as Number I. XIII has no evidence or witness against him, however. Sheridan does not assassinate XIII to avoid a new investigation that might expose him, and XIII and Jones leave the country. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Volumes_9–13"><span id="Volumes_9.E2.80.9313"></span>Volumes 9–13</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=XIII_(comics)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Volumes 9–13"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the following volumes, the action takes place in and around Costa Verde, a small fictional nation in <a href="/wiki/Central_America" title="Central America">Central America</a> where XIII is led to believe he once led a revolution under the identity of "El Cascador", although El Cascador is supposedly dead.
