Born in the troubled town of Bally Shannon on the west coast of Ire, young Jack was orphaned by the British at the age of five. He made his way in the streets, and later shipped out on to a merchant vessel. Jack jumped ship in the new world on his 9th crossing, and soon found his way to Tortuga in the year of 1576. After a colorful career as a privateer, including the raids on Maricaibo in ’78, Vera Cruz in ’83 and Cartegena in ’97, Jack discovered the easy life and has been roaming the docks and quays of Caribbean ports negotiating the release of pirate prisoners & plunder. Unfortunately, like most of his ilk, he has a problem with the demon rum and spends most of his ill-gotten gain staying drunk.

"Irish" Jack is played by Dameon Willich, creator and director of the Seattle Knights. Actor, combat choreographer, costumer, historian, and avid horseman, he has worked in several films, including The Postman and The Silent One. He is a well-known fantasy artist/illustrator, whose work has embellished album covers, books, magazines, fantasy role-playing games, comics, and cards for Magic: The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast.
