His name is Jack Letts and he is the son of an organic farmer. British born Letts has become the first white British boy to join Islamic State. Letts, 20, told his parents he was going to study Arabic in Kuwait before secretly travelling to Syria.
According to the Sun, ‘Jihadi Jack’, from Oxford, is said to be fighting on the frontline for the twisted terror group and now lives with his Iraqi wife and son in Fallujah, Iraq.
Jack who was described as a classroom clown was known to drink and sometimes smoke cannabis with his friends.
His dad John is an organic farmer and his mum is books editor.
Jack, now known as Ibrahim or Abu Muhammed, is a Liverpool fan and attended Cherwell School in Oxford. Jack was also a fan of graffiti artist Banksy.
A pal told The Sunday Times: “He was liked by a lot of the students.
"That's why this whole thing of him going to live in Syria and join Isis doesn't make any sense.”
Before converting to Islam, Jack was an atheist. He learned Arabic and attended a mosque near his home.

A number of his friends claim the football fan was radicalized in private prayer meetings before travelling to Syria in September 2014.
His family reportedly refused to comment this week.
A source close to them told the Sunday Times: "His mother and father were extremely worried for his safety after he told them that he was in Syria.
"The past two years have been a real nightmare for them.
"They just wish he can be back home with them."
More than 750 Brits have traveled to Iraq or Syria to join ISIS.
