Name: Jack Sullam
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Description: Jack is a well-built man, standing at 5 foot 11 inches he is not very tall though. His shoulders very broad and his stomach and chest are flat, not toned though. He also has prominent muscles on his arms and legs but not to the point of being incredibly strong. Naturally he is stronger than he is quick and it shows in the way he stands and walks. His skin itself is quite dry and his hands and legs are covered in small scars and calluses. On his head Jack has closely shaved black stubble which he cuts himself with the large clip folder knife he carries on his belt. His beard he has allowed to grow out and falls prominently for a good 4 or 5 inches off of his face, well defined jawline and chin. Again he uses his knife to keep the black facial hair in check as well. His face is also broad, like his shoulders, and holds deeply set green eyes, a slightly large and misshapen nose that holds the scars of a number of breaks. His lips are quite thin and are a light pink.
Biography: Jack is actually a Brit born and bred, born in East London he grew up on an estate, having been kicked out of school, and spent his time in small time looting and small time mugging. Before he could be caught for any of his ‘minor offenses’ he was sent to America by his parents, where he then lived with distant relatives. Whilst the family tried to set him straight Jack continued to ditch his school and mess around. When final grades came around Jack was less than surprised that he had not one passing grade. He took up an apprenticeship as a handyman with a friend’s dad. It was a dead end job with a dead end pay. By the time Jack was 25 he had a small apartment, a decent TV and some camping gear. Jack was almost looking for an excuse to break free from his boring hole of a life. He couldn't hold down a relationship and worked for some of the worst families in the Florida area. Eventually slipping into slight alcoholism. The only thing keeping Jack from abandoning his life now was the fun he had camping. He wasn't an outdoors nut but enjoyed the time he spent outdoors, alone and in the calm. After the outbreak Jack found it terrifying and then, oddly, calming. He decided to go camping as his escaping of the hordes and violence. For a time he was happy, but despite his enjoyment of being alone, he started to go a little stir crazy on his own. That was when he made his way to the Refugee camp.
Pre-Infection Career: Jack was a handyman, or jack of all trades, and so has a number of maintenance skills. However he is certainly no expert, so don't ask him to perform open heart surgery.
Other: Jack wears skinny blue jeans, mustard Timberland boots, a checked cotton shirt and a slightly large leather bomber jacket. He also has a large rucksack full of equipment, such as a Zippo lighter, most of a carton of cigarettes, a full bottle Jack Daniels, a couple of tins of beans, a spare pairs of jeans, a spare shirt and a pair of wellington boots. He also has a canvas tent however he donated that to the camp to help others.
House: Jakob claims his hereditary from House Frey however it is highly doubted, especially by those who know how he came to power.
Family:
Mother - Brielle 'Frey'
Father - Unknown
Brothers -
Title: Lord of the Crossing
Personality: Jakob is a man who can come across as totally friendly and polite when in fact he is already plotting your downfall. He can laugh and have a joke but when business is at stake then he is deadly serious. He also is looking for a wife and allies, since his ascension to power did lose him a lot of friends.
Bio: Jakob's birth and early childhood are shrouded in the mists of time and intrigue. All that is known is that nearly eight year ago he appeared at the Twins claiming to be from an illegitimate line, fathered by Black Walder. This was doubted at first however some amorous love letters between Jakob's grandmother and Black Walder made Jakob's claim more believable and he was taken into the court as another member of the Twins guard. From here his dastardly work begun.
In the many years since Walder Frey's death the Twins had been in political turmoil. The multitude of offspring each fought for their own right to rule House Frey and it's rightful successor. This meant the number of Freys had dropped quite significantly, some leaving to find new lives, others being forced to leave for the wall and a few finding early graves. Family means nothing for the Freys and by the point that Jakob arrived at the Twins there was only half a dozen Freys left, and a number of them were leading ragtag bands, trying to take their birthright.
Jakob was expected to exist and soon die however he is not that sort of man. He started by organising the soldiers of the Twins, patrols of guards increased in frequency and their behaviour turned from abusive authoritarianism into a proper force of policing the law. A number of the pretender Freys were hunted down by Jakob himself and during this time he made many connections and friendships with men, and women, of importance throughout the hold. With such loyal behaviour the remaining Frey lords and ladies gave Jakob the right to be a true Frey and not the bastard he was considered. From then things changed, the guards would escort the other Frey lords everywhere they went, almost like house arrest. Meanwhile other bands of guards begun to systematically imprison, and then frame, men of power who opposed Jakob. Planting evidence of conspiring with traitor Freys. Trials were held and every man that Jakob's death squads picked up was executed as an enemy of the Throne. The guards believed that Jakob was trying to take power through them, however the truth was more sinister.
2 years ago Jakob seized power, he had a large number of guards stage a coup and Jakob then went onto 'save' the Freys from the coup but 'lost' them in the chaos. Eventually the Frey's bodies were discovered 3 days later by the waterside, the official cause of death being drowning. The instigating guards had been arrested and were executed very quickly by Jakob. As the last remaining Frey Jakob ascended into power, despite outrage from the courts around Westeros, and clever political maneuverings and intrigue closed every alley of investigation. Leaving Jakob's word the only one to be accepted.
Since then the Twins have prospered, new trade agreements have left Lord Frey with many lucrative deals and investments into the armed forces and and land. Over time the populace have come to accept Jakob as their new overlord though many believe he is not done planning yet.
