==The Jack - Pain 4 (+ special)==
Once the brother of the Raven King himself, the Jack's power was torn from him by one of the Awakened at the behest of Hell itself. It is rumored that the Hound Master saved the Jack from destruction, but the once great Nightmare has become little more than a mad beast of smoke and claws and ravening teeth. 

An eyeless beast, the Jack shifts constantly between Ursine, Vulpine, and Lupine manifestations, black fur bristling, black claws lashing out, black teeth constantly bared, utterly silent, moving in and out of reality in turbulent clouds of billowing black smoke.

'''Special:''' The Jack is rarely encountered except that he is called or summoned by an Awakened, usually through inadvertently interacting with the discarded broken toys of the Scampers. When summoned in this fashion the Jack adds the summoning Awakened's current exhaustion AND any permanent madness to his Pain rating.

The Jack is one of only two Nightmares known to serve lesser Nightmares - whether by weakness, madness, or design - and the Major Nightmares allow it. They do not approach the Jack or interfere in his designs.
