Name:Jak Garou
Age: 28
Appearance:
Gender:Male
Faction/Allegiance: Othea, Gellor Shadows, The Snapdragons. (His own splinter group within the shadows, basically making up the cell investigating Kheris, and his dynasty. Currently based out of an exotic flower shop in Nemwey Et Netjer)
Relic Description: Ghost Opal: A loose opal, looking like just common opal at a glance, the gem itself is about the size of a standard coin.
Relic Abilities.: Invisibility:Jak, can turn invisible at will, disappearing completely from human, or animal view. Although he can still be sensed in other spectrum's. (EG. Smell, and hearing.)
Intangibility:Jak can use the opal to turn intangible. With this ability he can slip through walls, people, unable to be heard, and is basically impervious to physical means of harm.
Weaknesses:The relic draws heavily upon the users energy to maintain it any of it's abilities, even going as far as causing the user to pass out, or even kill them seemingly using the soul of the user themselves as it's fuel. Another weakness is the phasing in and out, it is very possible for something like an arm, or a piece of clothing to get stuck in something when the user phases through the walls, or the floor. Thus losing it, the limb thing has yet to happen for Jak but more than a few cloaks have been destroyed thanks to him not being aware of his surroundings,or from not wanting to expend more energy than needed.
Flaws: A total disregard for human life:While the Gellor shadows cherish life, spending years fighting a guerrilla battle against Kheris in the dynasty he has learned to fight fire with fire, and see the worse that humanity has to offer. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even if it means burning a village to the ground.
Not a duelist:In a frontal fight, Jak will just lose, his methods of combat are to strike and run, or a quick clean kill. So any dragged out fight, the rebel will not last long, especially against a well trained opponent.
Not a battlefield commander:While he is an effective guerrilla fighter, and commander. He is not trained to lead a siege of any sort, or lead troops on the battlefield instead leaving that to the knights, and men of Othea.
Skills:
Skilled spy, and guerrilla fighter: Jak is skilled in maneuvering from the shadows. He will bribe, black mail, extort, assassinate, and disappear at a moments notice striking another target with maximum effectiveness. His sect of spies have even invented their own verbal, non-verbal, written, and coded signals. He was trained for this, and he is as effective as they come
Master thief:Before he became a Gellor shadow, Jak was a master thief. Lockpicking, pick pocketing, shimmying, ledge walking, and street tricks Jak can do it all.
Master of disguise: With the help of some make up, some new clothes, and his skill at putting on fake accents he can be who he wants to be.
Biography: Jak the boy, didn't know his parents. Instead he was taken in by another group of street orphans. The oldest no more than 15, but still she had a child on her hip so she didn't mind caring for another one. She became his surrogate mother, and the only true mother in Jak's life. She raised him with care, while also training the orphans she cared for a life of larceny.
This was the life he knew when he was 5 years old, first he learned the rules. The street orphans do not kill they only steal, they only steal to earn enough to survive they do not go above their means, and they do not tell on each other. Then his first job, was as an distraction. He would distract his target, while the older orphans would cut their purse, then disappear back into the streets. Then as Jak grew older he learned other perks of the trade. First how to pick pocket, then how to lockpick, then how to run cons, and finally how to run sleight of hand games. They earned a killing, thriving on the streets of their little city, paying guards to look away took most of their cut, food the other part so they were just surviving. And for a long time that was their peace, they kept surviving for some time the years going by and Jak turning into a young man, his mother becoming their patron leader.
Jak was happy in this life, he had a family. A caring one, and he loved the thrill of larceny. But as it always does, life happens. He found the woman who raised him, dead in a gutter beaten beyond recognition. The street orphans went their separate ways, without the woman who raised them to keep them together. Jak asked around with some not so gentle persuasion, he found out that someone wanted her removed and he went, and removed that someone and everyone involved breaking rule number 1 in the most brutally efficient way. His revenge complete he stole a horse and left the city he knew behind heading instead for the capital.
He became a master thief instead stealing to make himself rich, instead of survive. And he was good at it, he made a killing. He even stole his relic from some rich noblewoman who thought it was a worthless opal. He couldn't tell you much about the process, other than it felt like a rush and the thrill of activating them for the first time gave him such a thrill, and the fact that he could use them for more larceny mean't everything to him. He became a living legend in Othea, the ghost of Amaryth. It didn't last long however before they found out it was an evoker committing these high profile crimes. And a trap was set, two other evokers hunted him down one used their ability, to stop his relic from working the other trapped him like a cornered rat and they imprisoned him.
They gave the man a choice, he could work for the kingdom. Or they could make him disappear into some mine, or even kill him. So he did the smart choice, he joined them and ended up with the Gellor shadows. His skillset made him invaluable to the shadows, but they also taught him other things. How to read and write, how to fight with a blade and bow, how to disappear into plain sight and disguise himself, among a myriad of other things. Then they sent him to the dynasty, he quickly set himself above the others making himself the defacto leader of the dynasty group. And establishing what little of a network he could.
They started in a small village, gaining information. Finding normal village folk who would join them in their cause. It was during this they had started a cell, and Jak had found a beautiful girl that he quickly fell in love with. He kept his double life a secret from the girl, and continued to follow the ideals of the shadows. Then they slipped up, they gained too much notice too fast. One day when he returned back from mission, he found the entire village drained of their life force. The work of an evoker. A very powerful one at that, it was here that Jak swore he would end the dynasty even if it meant burning down the Dynasty around Kheris, even if he had to turn that land to glass. He gathered what little men he had left, and he formed his own group naming them after the flowers they had used to cover calling themselves Snapdragons, and moving into the city.
personality/motivation: Jak is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. He doesn't care who gets hurt in the process, he truly believes he is bringing peace in his own way, he is intelligent, and adaptable to any situation.
Relations: None left that are alive, besides the Snapdragons.
Final Point - Secrets:He still sends whatever little coin he gets from a stipend home, to Othea to where only he knows, he also keeps a pet bright blue bird with him in the shop that he actually seems to care for.
