Jack Dawson

Name:  Jack Dawson Clan:  Samedi Generation:  6th Embrace: Probably between 1880s – 1890s

Jack Dawson fell in love with his neighbor’s daughter. But being half black and half indian upset the girl’s father and so he had Jack arranged to be murdered. Jack was left to die in a field when Baron Samedi found him and offered him the Embrace. Jack accepted and he became a Samedi vampire. Jack stayed with the Baron for several weeks, so the Baron could teach Jack how to speak with and control the dead. Jack also learned how to hide his decaying form behind illusions and how to be patient. Soon afterward Jack got his revenge against his murders and the Baron went on his own separate way.

It wasn’t long before Jack joined the Boot Hill gang. While Jack doesn’t follow the beliefs of the Sabbat he does consider Joe “Boot” Hill to be his good friend.

In his natural form Jack looks like a mummified corpse with long dark, curly hair. Most of the time he looks like a young, handsome Mexican with slightly darker skin and brilliantly white teeth. He is never seen without his pistols in easy reach and a rifle slung across his back. Jack is always wearing a pleasant smile, even when he’s killing someone.
