The Day of the Jackal's first season finale provides a compelling backstory for the titular assassin, revealed to be Alexander Duggan, a radicalized former British Army sniper. The finale delves into Duggan's final mission for the British Army, where a botched operation leads to a massacre of innocents and a cover-up of war crimes. Haunted by these events, Duggan fakes his death and becomes the Jackal, a skilled assassin.
The sun has set on The Day of the Jackal, as Season 1 has officially wrapped up and provided just as many questions as it has answers.

The job is botched and, rather than kidnapping the target, the squad proceeds to massacre a group of innocents and cover up their war crimes. Duggan, furious and disgusted by the actions of his fellow soldiers, uses an IED to kill the squad en masse and fake his own death.
