Name: Jack Dagon
Nickname: The Jack of Blades, The Bleeding Hollow
Powers: Jack possesses few actual powers, but those that he does are potent--albeit slightly abstrast--in the extreme. His most prominent ability stems from his goal in life, to cheat death (in theory, if Jack were to impart the majority of his soul into a single mask, then place it upon another entity moments before the physical death of his body, he would be able to live forever by constantly repeating the process.) He always carries around with him three masks, of which one he is almost constantly wearing. The others carry a more sinister purpose. He is able to transfer a portion of his soul into these masks. If these masks were to be placed upon another being, or an inanimate object of a somewhat human anatomy (i.e scarecrow) Jack would be granted varying degrees of control over these objects. If said object held no conscience it would be relatively easy to control it. If the object is in fact a living and breathing person, it is significantly harder. The target can resist depending upon their will and mental capabilities. Each of these 'clones' fights at around 6/10th Jack's maximum capacity. They can be disabled easily, all one has to do is remove the mask (which is actually quite fragile and easily destroyed.) What makes it a challenge to achieve such a feet is that each 'clone' and Jack share the senses. They can see, touch, hear, smell and taste through each other with near perfect clarity, allowing for extremely well coordinated assaults.
Jack also has at his disposal increased agility and endurance as well as strength (compared to normal a human), although the latter of the three is least noticable. A gift of his halfbreed heritage.
Age: unknown, looks to be in his early to mid thirties
Gender: male
Race: halfbreed (human X elf)
Apperance: Jack's appearance is hideous; and one of the few reasons he wears the mask that he does. His skin is bone white, and appears as it has never been touched by the light of day. Scattered across his body are a network of scars from assassin training, torture when a child and many other untold tales. His eyes are an alien scarlet, resembling those of a feline. If you were ever able to catch a glimpse of his hair, it is a brilliant red that falls roughly to his nose.
Personality: Dagon has a monstrous personality, one that matches his appearance in the extreme. He is incredibly sadistic, killing and torturing for the fun of it. But, he is also quite soft spoken, often sitting in the back of the room and rarely speaking a word. Sometimes, but not often he will go berserk and simply slaughter every living being in sight, but generally he only kills if he has a good reason. He has a deep resent for masters, and slavers, the latter of which he will kill on sight without even a hint of remorse. The former he will kill mercilessly, but only if provoked to a certain extent. It doesn't take much. He doesn't care much for slaves, either, but will protect them if they are in any form of danger. He can identify and sympathize with few, but those that he does he attempts to steer away from the path that he himself took.
History: Jack's life can be summed up in a single word. Torment. Even his childhood was wrought with all sorts of unpleasant events, those revolving around the torture of himself, as well as his parents. Not just by the animals, but by fellow humans and elves alike. His birth was not taken well by either side, and he was often seen as a monstrosity that should have never been concieved.
Shortly before his 8th birthday his parents were sold into slavery, and subsequently murdered. Luckily enough, he never became aware of the latter events. Alas, it probably wouldn't matter. The grief that tore at him as he was literally wrenched away from his parents loving arms was incomprehensible. Slowly, he became an increasingly brooding and indifferent man. The maddening effects allowed him to mature from a very young age, a side more prepared for the horrors of life coming to fruition far too early. He became cynical, sadistic and indifferent to the suffering of others, absorbed in his self pity and grief. Slowly, though he became obsessed with sharing his misery with others; those around him and those that had destroyed his modest, if not perfect life.
Jack was given his first knife around 9, and was a learned assassin by the age of 12. Thanks to his training in the arts he had skillfully evaded slavers thus far, but that would come to an end soon enough. At the time he thought himself invincible, like all children did at a time in their life. He became careless, and was eventually captures and sold. For 6 years he was peddled about, no one offering to even look at him. Constantly, the teen Jack attacked his fellow slaves, succumbing to cannibalism seeing as there was little food offered within the cavalcade of slaving carts. His once noble features began to warp and mutate, all traces of elven of even human heritage leaving him completely. He became something else; a monster of sorts.
No longer could any cage hold Jack. He was something... else. His eventual escape came soon enough, around his 20th birthday. He massacred the entire camp, slavers, passerbys slaves and even the pets. His inhuman rage spurred him on until there was nothing left alive, save himself. And, what he led could scarcely be called a life.
Any further events have not been recorded, and from there on nothing is known of Jack.
