--------------------
Jack grew up in the city of Promise on the island of Hermia in the Steaming Sea. His family is of Varisian stock, graced with the blood of azatas. The gold dragon Mengkare brought his ancestors to the island as part of the dragon's "Great Endeavor," a breeding program intended to perfect the human race. Regrettably, Mengkare determined Jack's line of the experiment an abysmal failure. Jack is a wisecracking ne'er-do-well, a font of often-useless information, and a teller of tall tales. He usually looks like he just got out of bed, though he cleans up well enough when he must. He is generous to a fault, and spends all he earns. He is lazy by nature and seeks work only when his pockets are empty. Some have accused Jack of cowardice, but he considers himself a lover, not a fighter. He is easily bored and loves to travel, especially to avoid complicated relationships or trouble with the law. He thrives on chaos and chafes under too many restrictions on his personal and professional life. The Three Duties of the Grand Lodge of the Pathfinder Society: explore, report, and cooperate provide a simple code that gives Jack all the guidance he wants.

After completing the Pathfinder Society mission #2-14 The Penumbral Accords, Jack purchased a theater in Absalom, the Crown of Roses.

During mission #5-03 The Hellknight's Feast, Lady Dyrianna Avenstar, Head Hetaera of Callistria, blessed and cast masterwork transformation on Jack's whip.

After mission #6-00 Legacy of the Stonelords, Jack hired a porter named Alek Baldwin, a washed-up actor who works for cheap beer and pork rinds.

After completing #2-22 Eyes of the Ten, Part 4: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained, Jack was honored by the Decemvirate with a promotion to the rank of venture-captain. He invested 25PP to establish a Pathfinder Lodge in the city of Promise on the island of Hermea.
