Overview

Jock (Jacques) is a 6’5” pirate/ship-captain whose “first love is the sea,” wielding a corpse-slayer shotgun and a wandering accent (Schwarzenegger → Scottish → Viking). Across The Forgotten Hour he loses an eye (and flips his eyepatch to the empty socket), is the one party member Zen “couldn’t charm,” and carries a tragic past connection to Laurence Shâdos (the crossed-off Medina Monastery roster). In the rebuild he sails off to explore Frostbjorn and the Orchard — and is dead by Chapter 1. His descendant line includes Gypsy Jenkins’s “Jenkins” legend.
