== History ==
=== Early Adventuring ===
Jak explores many distant and dangerous locations. He was thrown into the ocean in "Allomancer Jak and the Mask of Ages" while tied to a bust of the [[Survivor]] (or the [[Spook|Lord Mistborn]]). He claims to have swum through river rapids in "Allomancer Jak and the Waters of Dread", although this may not have actually happened.{{book ref|eltania}} He also at some stage climbed the ashmounts and domesticated a long necked animal.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}} The animal was either a lama or a giraffe.{{wob ref|4362}}
=== The Pits of Eltania ===

During a later adventure Jak would find himself at New Seran where Handerwym caught news that criminals were going to replace the alleged buttons of [[Spook]] favourite smoking jacket with forgeries.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}} Deciding to put a stop to this Jak and Handerwym went to an auction for the buttons being held by Lady Lavont. Handerwym was left to keep an eye on the buttons and make sure they were not swapped out with fakes while Jak went off to talk to Lady Lavont and her circle of friends.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}} While doing so a man pulled a gun on Jak claiming he had killed his brother and that he wanted revenge. In an effort to buy time Jak proclaimed that he was unarmed and spun around in a circle to proof his point, then realising he did not recall killing the mans brother he informed him that he was innocent. The man then realised that he had mistaken Jak for [[Wax]], Jak laughed off the mistake and offered to buy him a drink. Before he got the chance however Handerwym arrived and signalled to Jak that the buttons had been stolen.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}}
His sensationalized adventures are published in ''[[The Elendel Daily]]'' and ''[[The House Record]]''.{{file ref|Elendel Daily broadsheet.png|''The Elendel Daily'' Broadsheet}}{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}} These versions are unedited by Handerwym and as a result are terribly written. Handerwym then takes several episodes and combines them into one volume that he edits and annotates. The annotations generally consist of humorous insults and corrections. A story about [[Nicelle Sauvage]] in ''[[The New Ascendancy]]'' is published under an "Allomancer Jak presents" logo,{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy'' Broadsheet}} suggesting that Jak may help publish the stories of other adventurers.▼
At a later time Jak made the acquittance of [[Nicelle Sauvage]] who then started publishing under the Allomancer Jak brand.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|''The New Ascendancy'' Broadsheet}}
