Events of Black Ops III[]
Danny Li was in a meeting with John Taylor and Hendricks, who pretend to be former agents turned arms dealers. Wanting to sell Li supplies, he agrees before stabbing one of his associates with a knife for making a mistake. Li is neutralized by GI units, alongside Goh Min, as Goh Xiulan escapes with the servers.
Unbeknownst to both Taylor and Hendricks, Li managed to survive thanks to the usage of a recently acquired Rejack unit. His life was spared by 54i enforcer He "Seraph" Zhen-Zhen, who deemed that the organization had suffered too many losses already, with the deaths of their leaders being the latest. Thus, Li resorted to working as a mercenary, going by his new name "Blackjack" to restore his reputation.
Due to his encounter with Taylor, Li would end up appearing in the Player's dream simulation, playing out the same role he did years before, only with the Player replacing Taylor.

Biography[]
- "Once a well-connected 54I fixer, Danny Li narrowly survived a disastrous meeting that he brokered between Winslow Accord agents and the organization's leaders through the use of a recently acquired Rejack unit.
Deeming that they had suffered too many losses already, the enforcer, Seraph decided not to execute him for his part in the deaths of Min and Xuilan Goh, stating that they needed all of their remaining strength in order to rebuild.
Blackjack now operates as a mercenary, restoring his reputation, and bringing glory to the clan; all the while salvaging up new stock from the spoils on the battlefield." - — Blackjack's biography in Black Ops 3
