'''Jak''' also known as "Allomancer Jak" and "Gentleman Jak", is a [[Scadrian]] nobleman
== 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 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}}
Jak is arrogant, not very clever, and often makes improbable claims about his adventures. However, he is quite lucky and as a result generally succeeds. He writes very sloppily, with many spelling and grammar errors that then have to be corrected by [[Handerwym]], his [[Terris]] steward. Occasionally he refuses to allow him to correct his spelling and grammar. He is often helped out of scrapes by his lover [[Elizandra Dramali]] and by Handerwym. He finds [[Elendel]] extremely dull.{{book ref|eltania}}
Waxillium considers him a fop, though he respects that he's at least willing to get out of his house.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Jak is a [[Tineye]] misting who is apparently skilled at using his abilities to help assist him in seeking out important information.{{book ref|eltania}} He also is proficient in a gun that he wields which he named '''Glint'''.{{file ref|Elendel Daily broadsheet.png|''The Elendel Daily'' Broadsheet}} Jak also seemingly has a good skill in animal handling as he claims to have managed to domesticate a 'long necked' animal from the [[Roughs]].{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}} The animal in question being either a [[Wikipedia: llama| llama]] or a [[Wikipedia: giraffe| giraffe]].{{wob ref|4362}}
== History ==
Jak began his adventuring career sometime around the year 319 PC, his stories initially received great success and acclaim with stories about him reaching as far as the Roughs. He was noted due to the claim that he had never killed a criminal yet and instead arrested them.{{book ref|mb7|prologue}}
Over the years Jak would eventually leave the roughs and begin exploring more 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 Pits of Eltania ===
* Jak does not think he is lying when he recounts his stories.{{wob ref|12661}}
* Jak in his stories has claimed that if he got the chance he would like to pull a gun on Wax.{{file ref|House Record broadsheet.jpg|''The House Record'' Broadsheet}}
* Jak appears to be a [[Survivorist]], as he references the [[Survivor]] providing for him and regards the Survivor's teachings as true. However, he thinks his alleged spirit guide [[Lyndip]] may be a [[Faceless Immortal]] (which are part of [[Pathian]] doctrine as noted by [[Handerwym]]) so his theological depth appears to be limited.{{book ref|eltania}}
* [[Wayne's mother]] and [[Wayne]] himself both claim to be fans of Allomancer Jak and his stories, the latter claiming to have read all of his published adventures.{{book ref|mb7|prologue}}{{book ref|mb7|32}}
