Jack Yaesk

Jack is a changeling cleric who appears during Season One of Wacky Ribbons. In the past, he knew Trongy as a teenager, and pretended to be her younger brother.

Appearance
As a changeling, Jack has pale blue-grey skin, pale blue eyes, and pale blond hair. He stands at about 5'10", and has a wiry frame. He can easily shift and change his physical appearance to look like any other humanoid creature (of the same size); he uses this frequently as a means to an end throughout his life. A cocky young man with very little regard for others outside of himself and Fio, he carries himself with an unearned swagger and frequently cracks sarcastic remarks. When he took advantage of Trongy in their youth, he appeared as a red Tiefling (similar in appearance to Trongy, and funnily enough unlike Song whatsoever); later in Wacky Ribbons when he corners Chenille, he appears as an elderly woman. When Marilla and Jack deploy their plan to break into Lord Devorak's mansion, it's Jack's abilities as a changeling that allow him to cause a diversion (by changing his appearance to that of Marilla and running the opposite way), making way for the real Marilla's escape.

Pre-Campaign
Jack was the only child to his human mother, Damara, and grew up primarily on the streets of Scaena's lower slums. His mother was resentful and bitter, having been scorned by loves lost, and frequently left him to his own devices. As a result, he prioritized his own well-being over that of others, running amok Scaena's slums to cheat, steal, and lie his way into having basic necessities.

On one of these journeys through the city, he overhears a young Tiefling girl being given a tarot reading by an elderly fortune teller. Catching the details about the brother she longed to be reunited with, he decided to take advantage of his transformative abilities and approached her as her long-lost brother, finally returned. Over the course of three months, the two scrambled to save money together (with a majority of the profits coming from Trongy herself) so as to secure "safe passage" back home. During this time, Trongy became romantically involved with Jack's friend, Fio, and he unintentionally became a part of the scam. On the night of departure, Jack and Fio reveal their true intentions, stealing the money and leaving Trongy behind with a black eye (courtesy of Jack) and a broken heart (courtesy of Fio). Jack never looked back, and carried very little remorse for the situation with him into adulthood.

While he kept to a lifestyle of petty crime and thievery, (occasionally dragging Fio alongside, despite the latter's attempt to "be better"), at one point he was recruited by the Cilium warden, Leonardo, where he became one of the men under his command, along with Fio. From Leonardo's testimony to the party, at some point Marilla was arrested, and then colluded with both Jack and Fio to overthrow his position, thereby awarding her the title of warden. Under Marilla's watch, he assisted her in stealing from the rich and entitled that live in the Acropolis and redistributing the wealth amongst the poor and suffering in Cilium and outlying villages.

Season One
The party meets Jack after breaking into the Cilium jail on the (loud) behest of Leonardo. What proceeded between the group was a rather scrambled ruckus, in which the party fought against Marilla and Jack (resulting in Jack getting punched a few good swift times by Chenille and Ruby) until Fio attempted to calm the situation down. Trongy, furious at seeing him again, becomes even more enraged when he insists on teasing her for how mercilessly he deceived her when they were children. The party is basically entirely in agreement against Jack, with Chenille and Ipu holding more of a grudge because of their knowledge of Jack's previous wrongdoings via Trongy's journal.

After refusing to help them raid Lord Devorak's, Jack is last seen leaving the jail with Marilla on their way to Devorak's mansion, despite the warning Chenille attempted to give.

Season Two
In the Glen of Theia, Theia offers a boon to the party: as she can see areas of Scaena through the trees, she offers to try and find their loved ones (presuming they reside in Scaena) and give them visions of how they may be faring in their absence. It's then that Chenille asks to see Marilla, and sees a vision of her tearing through the woods, looking the part of someone afraid and on the run, with no sign of Jack besides her. Later on, as the party continues to travel, Jack corners Chenille while disguised as an older woman who needed assistance with her produce. Revealing himself to her, his hand now bares the mark of House Devorak, the same as Chenille - on the opposite hand as hers, and on the top of the hand (rather than the palm, like Chenille).

Jack recounts what happened - as he and Marilla were raiding Devorak's house, Marilla spotted the portrait hanging of Chenille; and likewise found her personal diary, filled with the crimes and atrocities she had committed during her time under Lord Devorak. Marilla had become distracted, searching for more evidence, when they were caught; choosing to help save Marilla over himself, Jack changed his appearance to look like hers, and created a diversion for her to get away. As a result, when Devorak realized he'd captured someone with the ability to look like anyone, he beat Jack into submission, forcing him to agree to work for him. Jack explains that Devorak sent him with a ring for Chenille - one with a sending stone laid into its hardware, enchanted so that whoever looked upon it would forget its presence immediately upon looking away. This way, Devorak felt assured he would be able to receive prompt and timely reports of information from Chenille while otherwise entangled via Trongy's Contract.

With the ring delivered and his job complete, he vanishes into the crowd.
