'''Jak''' also known as "Allomancer Jak" and "Gentleman Jak", is a [[Scadrian]] nobleman and an explorer.
== Appearance & personality ==
Jak is depicted in all his broadsheets as being a well groomed man around his early thirties. He is always shown sporting a large mustache which is complimented by long hair and glasses. Although his outfit varies from time to time it almost always bares a resemblance to a suit of some kind with a [[mistcloak]] added. The mistcloak seemingly serves no purpose since Jak is not known to be a [[coinshot]] or [[lurcher]]. When in less formal settings and outside exploring he is also depicted as wearing a cowboy hat. Jak also has frequently wears buttoned up shirts, which apparently have a tendency to break open as his stories go on, underneath of which he is shown to have a well muscled physique.{{file ref|Elendel Daily broadsheet.png|''The Elendel Daily'' Broadsheet}}{{book ref|eltania}}{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}}{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}}
It can be difficult to understand what Jak's personality is like as the depiction of him in his adventures and the opinions of those around him diverge greatly. As depicted by himself Jak is shown to be a

=== The Pits of Eltania ===
During a later adventure Jak ventured to the [[Pits of Eltania]] in search of the Survivor's treasure. He at one stage believed he was to be executed for some unknown transgression against the local koloss tribe.{{file ref|
He would be challenged by a koloss and managed to kill them with his gun. This was apparently part of his plan to be accepted by the koloss tribe but Handerwym felt it was not a good one.{{book ref|eltania}} Jak would later wake up alone in a cave within a canyon and believed himself trapped there. After searching for an exit he would eventually decide to dive into a river below him. He then managed to exit the river near a group of koloss. The group brought him over to their tribe leaders who offered to make Jak into a koloss believing him to be worthy of joining the tribe, Jak also discovered that his girlfriend, [[Elizandra Dramali]] is koloss blooded and herself a previous member of the tribe. Dramali tries to explain the process to Jak so he can choose but he interrupts her and devises a plan to not be made into a koloss. Jak proclaims that he is already a koloss and that he will prove it by recovering the survivors treasure from the bottom of a lake. He was successful in this endeavour and the koloss were pleased to discover a cache of Hemalurgic spikes within it. Jak then discovered the box containing the spikes was made of aluminium, pleased with the find he left the tribe with Elizandra. They would later have to go back upon realising they had forgotten Handerwym and had left him behind.{{book ref|eltania}}
=== Waxillium Ladrian ===
[[Wax]] much like Jak began his career in the Roughs working to collect money from the various bounties around the region. Jak was his elder in this profession by about 6 years as Wax began this career sometime around 325 PC.{{book ref|mb5|prologue}} Despite this common connection however it appears that the two never got along during the early days, Wax himself states that he found Jak's stories ridiculous and considered him a 'fop' rather than a true lawman{{cite}} whilst Jak on the other hand showed open disdain for Wax stating that he would gladly look forward to shooting him if given the chance.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}} The reason for this animosity is unclear however it would seem that the pair never actually worked together as neither Jak
Later on however their relationship would slowly improve over time, at least on Jak's end. Following the discovery of the [[Bands of Mourning]] and the start of Wax's political career Jak would warm considerably to the man and begin mentioning him much more frequently in his writings, insisting that the pair were friends and comrades during past adventures. Wax himself denies this and grows quite frustrated when the connection is mentioned, however he is willingly to play along with the story when needed to comfort someone.{{book ref|mb7|32}}
