Biography

Handsome Jack originally hailed from Arkandale. Ironically named, Handsome Jack was terrible ugly. He was also a drunkard and becoming worse by day, causing Captain Dumont to fear Jack might let slip Dumont's activities as a slaver.

Dumont had long wished to impress perverse romantic affections upon Larissa and silencing. At the same time, he needed to find a way to get ride of Jack. Thus, Dumont hatched a scheme that would take care of both his goals with one fell swoop. A deformed crewman long wanting to be one of the actors, Handsome Jack was all too happy to play the role of a masked ruffian to spook Larissa and get into a fake fight with Dulmont, ostensibly to teach her a lesson about being careful.

Handsome Jack was later buried in Rogue's Rest, where his partially rotted corpse was eventually found and reanimated as a zombie by Lond. If he survived the final battle between Lond's zombies and Larissa's forces, he fell under the control of Anton Misroi.
