Jack “Jack o’Hearts” Gallowglass

An urchin born to the shadows of London’s underbelly, Jack learned early that survival meant more than quick hands—it required a sharper mind.

Among the filth of the city’s sewers, he watched as his fellow orphans cut purses and lifted coin from the unwary, but Jack saw a grander opportunity.

Rather than pilfering mere coin, he stole something far more valuable—identity. As the rich and reckless wandered the slums seeking forbidden thrills, Jack relieved them of their fine clothes, then spent his nights before broken mirrors perfecting their mannerisms, their airs, their very way of being.

So it begins...

Draped in the spoils of high society, he walked the gaslit streets not as a pauper, but as a gentleman. He charmed noblewomen with silvered words, won the trust of self-important men, and spun grand ventures that turned their fortunes into his own. But London was only a stepping stone. With each daring con, he grew restless, longing for greater adventure.

Taking his ill-gotten gains, Jack turned to the sea, regaling pirate crews with tales of deceit and daring. His charisma and cunning earned him passage from port to port, where he now applies his trade in confidence games and grand swindles; all for the benefit of the crew he calls kin.

To those who know him, he is Jack o’ Hearts, a trickster, a rogue, and a pirate in the truest sense. Forever chasing the next gamble, the next fortune, and the next tale to weave into legend.
