Character Facts:

• All of Jak's story pre-lich transition takes place at least a couple hundred years ago.
• Jak is currently the oldest "living" Tiefling and because of this it is theorized that Jak may also be the first tiefling to ever be born.
• is unknown if his age also made him the first Lich, but he is confirmed to be the first to publicly come forward as one while ruling a kingdom (fortriu), making him the first official Lich King.
• Jak's Tiefling heritage comes from his (surrogate) mother's side. She was a descendant of the Miagani Tribe, who in ancient times worshiped the demon Barbatos. During the tribal days of The Miagani, one of Jak's ancestors made a pact with Barbatos making one of their descendants a tielfing. That Descendant ended up being Jak.
• Jak's (surrogate) Father was born under The Great House of Mar, descendants of the hero Mar, who's bloodline was foretold to survive throughout history tasked by the Precursors with protecting their world from cosmic dark forces.
• Jak's Grandparents were Herb and Zelda Brial, a pair of well known vetran sailors in the region Blackfish Bay. They were most famous for helping fending off a large raid of pirates who'd attacked Rubacava during it's construction.
• Jak's Brother is Cornelius Calavera also known as San Drake Den Forsta.
• Jak's primary Phylactery is a large Dark Eco Crystal that had been gifted to him by his father when he was a child.
• Jak has been lost at sea twice.
• Jak was first lost at sea when he was 10 years old on an expedition with a fishing ship he'd been working on. Their ship had ended up being caught in a large storm and eventually washed ashore with Jak being the only one to survive. he'd spent a year alone on an uncharted island surviving primarily off of rations leftover from the shipwreck, it is said the isolation and fear of being eaten by wild animals temporarily drove his under developed mind to become almost like that of a feral creature.
• Jak chose the name Theron while he was on the island. he'd found the name in a book of greek names he'd found onboard the remains of the ship. Theron meant, Hunter or Untamed and for obvious reason Jak took to the name while he was out there, and it stuck.
• Jak was eventually found by a passing ship captained by Ol' Ed Hunt, a famous sailor in Jak's hometown. Ed's grandson, had spotted Jak on the shoreline while testing out his new spyglass.
• Ed's grandson would one day grow up to become Jak's life long friend and right hand man Bilgewater Bones.
• After returning home Jak had much trouble re-adjusting to life among normal society and had found peace with a clan of samurai known as the Zintaris who trained him in the art of the sword and his connections to the spiritual world until he grew to adulthood.
• Jak left the Zintaris when 'Ol Ed Hunt passed away and Bilgewater Bones had been given his ship. The same ship he had been rescued on as a boy.
• eventually when Herb and Zelda passed, Jak was gifted with their ship "The Rum Runner".
• Jak and Bones started a merchant shipping company, and for about 5 years traveled the seas as merchants until Jak's ship was eventually brought down by a band of pirates.
• While Jak did survive the Battle with the Pirates, his ship did not. Jak died alone bleeding out on the bow of his ship, surrounded by the bodies of his dead crew, and the pirates who attacked them. The Rum Runner Sank to the ocean floor where it would remain for over 10 years.
• 6 months later when Jak and the Rum Runner never returned to Rubacava, Bones set out on a quest to find him. eventually forcing himself to give up the search one year later.
• Jak's body was found washed ashore by an elderly shaman who claimed to have been marooned on the island many years prior.
• Jak was resurrected by the shaman and his soul was Bound to the Dark Eco Crystal that had been braided into his hair. Turning him into a Lich.
• Jak spent over 10 years on this island. Most of his time was spent training under the shaman who had resurrected him.
• it is unknown what happened to the shaman by the time Jak escaped the island. Rumor is that the shaman passed away a few years before Jak left the island.
• Jak carries around many of the shaman's belongings, including but not limited to: His shrunken head collection, his Grimoire, and his headband.
• Jak eventually escaped the island on his own, using dark magiks found in the shaman's grimoire to raise "The Rum Runner" from the briny depths and transform it into the ghost ship known as "The Grey Ghoul".
• Due to the fact that The Grey Ghoul is now a magical ship held together by Jak's spellcasting, he actually doesn't require a crew to operate the sails or the helm. However he does need a crew in order to operate it's weapons systems as they are still cannon ball fed and ammunition based.
• It is rumored that the shaman was actually a precursor in disguise who's primary study was dark eco, sent to complete the cycle of heroism all sons of Mar must endure.
• Along the way home Jak had actually passed by Bones who'd been sailing the Iron Fang on a trade route leaving rubacava. Bones had intitially thought he'd finally lost it, and saw the ghost of the rum runner heading for home. (technically he was right)
• When Jak had finally returned to the civilized world, he'd found people now feared him for his appearence. he was a corpse now, and not a pretty one.
• although it took some getting used to Jak's friends and family eventually did warm up to his new apppearance and outlook.
• Jak spent much of the few first months back living as a hermit in the family inn, he fearing citizens who saw him may cause a threat to his family were the authorities contacted.
• Unfortunately Jak's inability to find work as a merchant sailor eventually forced him into a life of Piracy.
• Eventually many of Jak's closest friends were forced into a life of piracy whenever Jak would use his necromancy in an attempt to save their life.
• Eventually Jak and Bones founded the alliance of pirates known as the Black Tempest Armada.
