Abilities Allomancer
Profession Explorer
Homeworld Scadrial

Jak is a Scadrian nobleman, a Tineye, and an explorer.


Appearance

Jak has a large mustache, long hair, and glasses.

Personality

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 He is accompanied by Handerwym, his Terris steward. Occasionally he refuses to allow Handerwym to correct his spelling and grammar. He is often helped out of scrapes by Handerwym and his lover Elizandra. He finds Elendel extremely dull [1].

Adventures

He explores many distant and dangerous locations. He found the Kelseir's treasure in the the Pits of Eltania, where he interacted with Koloss. He became "king" of the Koloss in episode 26. He was thrown into the ocean in "Allomancer Jak and the Mask of Ages" while tied to a bust of the Survivor (or the Lord Mistborn). He claims swam through rapid rivers in "Allomancer Jak and the Waters of Dread", although this may not have actually happened [1]. He supposedly trained with monks who taught him how to fight. He also supposedly studied ballet, which enhanced his balance.[2] It is unknown whether any of these claims are true.

Publishing

His sensationalized adventures are published in the Elendel Daily, The House Record, and The New Ascendancy.[3][4] Those copies of his adventures 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.
