Physical Description
Jackdaw did away with his dreadlocks long ago, and keeps his frizzy curls cropped short. He's begun to gray at the temples, though he insists that it's from stress and not a sign of his years. His signature week-old stubble remains. In another departure from his former appearance, Jackdaw now sports an eye patch over his blinded, damaged left eye.

Jackdaw is fit enough by his own standards, but he's slowing...he certainly isn't as quick or agile as he was in his twenties, as much as he hates to admit it. Once an enthusiastic drinker, Jackdaw gave up the stuff recently and has vowed never to touch it again. He's tried numerous times to stop smoking to little success, and can often be found indulging in a cigarette.


Personality
ENFJ / chaotic good
Over time, Jackdaw's moral compass has steered him towards the path of good. This isn't to say that he's any less acerbic. On the contrary: with Ven's death, he's entirely stopped caring what people think of him. He speaks his mind and curses with reckless abandon. But he no longer seeks to find people's weaknesses and manipulate them — unless, of course, they deserve it.

There are two things that Jackdaw can't stand and won't abide: firearms and opium. This has become his crusade, and he toes the line with vigilantism.


History
Where Fletcher left his world before Ven could fix it, in another life, Jackdaw carried on and saw it through with his own version of Ven. After all was said and done, the two of them headed south to stabilize a buckling slave rebellion, and it was here that Jackdaw earned his alias. And, after the years as revolutionaries wore them both down, they finally found a peaceful corner of the world and settled in to a quiet life.

But it was not happily ever after for Jackdaw. With Ven's untimely passing, he left their home behind, this time with Ven's wolf dog Aya in tow. As he journeyed, his dreams became strange and vivid. He began to hear voices even when awake. He hallucinated old, long-dead friends. And then, one day, he awoke...and found himself somewhere else entirely, with only Aya for company.


Magic/Abilities
He's pretty good with a rapier, and he can still hold his own in a brawl.


Relationships
He insists that Aya isn't his dog. She won't listen to him, but she does follow him, and he does keep feeding her.
