Personality: He seems absolutely devoid of it. He stares off into space and will respond with overly literal and minimalist answers to questions. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Jak is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was born in the east, but his parents moved at a very young age to the north. Aside from being a slave or a gladiator, there isn't much legitimate work for Halflings in Jak's homeland. Jak decided to take the middle way and become a bodyguard. Days after completing his studies, news broke out that his hometown was attacked by illithids. Jak was horrified and prayed that his mother was alright. However, he heard that his mother had died fighting off the illithids.
