Jakkin always bears a grim and determined look on his face that makes him look older than he really is. Rarely will a smile break forth from his eternally gloomy visage. Jakkin feels a compulsion to use his skills to vanquish evil but doesn't feel it is his responsibility to risk his life without reward. He has become desensitized to the atrocities committed around him and is hesistant to lift a finger to help. However, his good natured heart keeps gnawing at his conscience, attempting to bring him back from the brink of despair but has so far been unsuccessful. |
Jakkin was part of a cadre of soldiers sent to eliminate a troll terrorizing the village. The band was successful but only after the troll killed the rest of the group. A rescue party found Jakkin sitting on the blood-stained ground, endlessly cleaning his blade, mumbling to himself. After weeks of recovery from his physical wounds, his emotional scars were too much for him to handle. Jakkin was so distressed at losing his friends that he began drinking his sorrows away. After a few weeks, he decided that he would no longer fight for his village but become a mercenary and fight for gold. |
