jack was born quietly, among the homeless in an old train station somewhere in bricka. it was said to be the coldest day in the history of the world...

jack's first childhood memory, which occurred at the surreal age of birth, was the smashing of red army police rifles against the skull of his only sister. she was 7 when she was murdered; it was jack's birthday...

his mother, was an inkaita seamstress, burned badly about the eyes, face and neck when an oil burning lamp fell onto her while she slept. she was never quite the same and never spoke again...

jack's father was a red-ruokian fisherman who lost both of his thumbs when a steel longline splintered...freeing the only bluefin tuna rumored to have ever escaped the ruokies gaffs...
