Biography: Jack was once a good and holy paladin. He fought evil in all its forms and he became quite renowned for it. Though he would not hesitate to kill if necessary he preferred to capture his targets alive, and bring them back to face justice. He had many adventures, and in the course of those adventures he made many enemies. None of which would have such an influence on his life as the bandit lord Bloodscar.

When Jack killed Bloodscar he had no idea the events that he was setting into motion. Bloodscar’s minions were many, and they were merciless. Enraged over the death of their leader they hunted down and killed Jack’s family. In the battle a lucky blow from the bandits cost Jack his right arm and his left hand. He lay there in agony, forced to watch as the bandits mercilessly slaughtered his parents, his beloved wife and his children.

Something snapped inside him that day. He turned from the light and the pursuit of justice. All he wanted now was revenge against the rogues that had done this to him, to watch them suffer and die the way they had mercilessly cut down the people he loved. He didn’t care what he had to do to make this happen. He would have made a deal with the very devil himself if it served him up the vile rogues to slice and dice and make suffer.

He met with one of his former enemies, the dark wizard Murdoc. In exchange for his freedom, something which the respected paladin could easily secure, Murdoc created for him an enchanted pauldron. The pauldron channels his energy to create a working replica of the arm he lost. Jack tried to build a mechanical hand to replace the one he lost, but the result was a mangled mess of sharp points. Some part of him preferred it.

Ever since then he has searched for the bandits that did this to him, going from town to town. His information is dubious at best and his methods despicable. He will not stop. This need for revenge is all that keeps him going.

Race: Human
Colour: #800000
Description: Jack is tall with short black hair, blue eyes and a wild-looking beard, though these features are normally hidden behind his helmet. He still wears his paladin armour, though now it is almost perpetually stained with blood.
He does not have much in the way of patience any more, he will attack anyone who gets in his way, and torture anybody who he believes knows where to find the bandits that killed his family. His speech is curt and his attitude very bad.
Items/Abilities: In addition to being a skilled swordsman, Jack retains some measure of his paladin abilities; now corrupted by the darkness in his heart. As such he can to a certain extent control shadows.

He also has pop-tarts because just because you are evil doesn’t mean you stop liking pop-tarts.
