Dakon Lee grew up dodging the feet of adults and doing his best to avoid razor vine, just like a lot of natives of the City of Doors. His mother was a chambermaid for some Fated guvnor, and his dad never was part of the picture, so he was mostly left on his own while she worked. Spending much of his time on the streets, injustice was a daily experience, either to him or witnessed by him. It always rankled, but somewhere along the way a voice began to whisper in his mind just how unfair it was. How the powerful take advantage of the weak, the rich exploit the poor. If only there was some way tip the scales, some person who would take up the cause of Justice when no one else would. Dakon came to think of the voice as the Jackdaw, a little bird on his shoulder, whispering in his ear. The whisper grew to a roar over time, and without really knowing he was doing it, Dakon came to think of the Jackdaw as a separate personality. The Jackdaw wasn’t content to passively stand by, and taping into some unknown magic in Dakon’s blood, he found a source of power of his own. Part oni and part avenging angel, Dakon spends his days as a tout guiding others Sigil, but by night he dons a mask and becomes the Jackdaw, a shadowy vigilante patrolling the back alleys and slums.

1. Three Concepts: Duality (Dakon is kind but passive, Jackdaw is bold but merciless), Justice, and Class Struggle
2. The Jackdaw would prefer to keep Dakon a secret entirely, not to mention his mother whom he now cares for in a small apartment he rents for the both of them. Unbeknownst to him, his father is an Oni Magi that still visits Sigil from time to time. The yokai isn’t particularly interested in his offspring, but that could change if the Jackdaw obtains more notoriety.
3. Dakon cares for his retired mother, and has ties to the tout guild. Otherwise he is acquaintances with many people about town but doesn’t have close friends. A few members of the guard know the Jackdaw, but they aren’t quite sure what to make of the barmy basher yet.
4. The Jackdaw would ultimately like to bring down the Fated, finishing the job the Faction War started years ago. As a party, he would like them to thwart some machinations of the Fated or the lower planes in Sigil. As a player, I just want him to have a chance to embarrass or otherwise take down a peg Shemeska, the King of the Cross-trade.
5. Dakon is afraid his double life is going to come crashing down. The Jackdaw is most afraid of losing his free will. Neigh fearless and dedicated to his quest, the Jackdaw is brave, but his methods are more Mercykiller than Sons of Mercy.
