Jack The Ripper

The heinous criminal terrorizing the city for months has an appearance that even the most seasoned of investigators within the guard and military had no way of predicting. A hideous abomination, a marriage of Necromancy magic and Magical Technology augmenting and enhancing the body to levels well beyond what is natural.

Jack The Ripper. A.K.A.; Project 03 "Respiration" Success, The Ripper Hopper Prime, and Red Coat Jack.

Once a soldier in service of the kingdom and nobility, he grew addicted to the thrill of taking a life while on the fields of battle. When he returned home, he took the life of several other soldiers in what was supposed to be a simple training spar. He was put to death, and the incident was covered up by the higher ups to keep opinion of the military high among the public. Officially, Red Coat Jack and his victims were killed in a tragic accident involving experimental magic.

Ages later now, Gilles SantEremon recovered Jack's corpse from the old military graveyard as they were relocating the corpses to use the land for expanding the city. Absconding to the underground sewers, Gilles and his comrades used Jack's body in their research of Magi-Tech Enhanced Necromancy. Placed in Gilles' portion of their project, Jack was rebuilt to become "The Pinnacle of the Respiratory System", a body with grossly enhanced lung capacity, and the ability to control and pressurize that air to route and release it through its body and out of its limbs for enhanced mobility.

Like the rest of the Magi-Tech Enhanced Undead, Jack's mind awoke with his body. Though many of the memories of his past life had long decayed away, his lust for bloodshed and death remained as if hardwired into his very existence. Though others in his order were hesitant to oblige, Gilles had them affix blades onto Jack's arms and had him serve as a guard for their hideout. His new weapons and the nature of his movements when using his pressurized air gave him his code name, "Ripper Hopper". But being a guard dog for a secret hideout wasn't enough to satisfy Jack, and he eventually made his way to the surface, where he claimed the first victim in his spree as Jack The Ripper.

The mounting attention drawn by Jack's growing body count caused Gilles' allies to abandon their hideout, but Jack and his creator stubbornly stayed behind with their slowly growing numbers of lesser Ripper Hoppers. Gilles stayed to continue his research of Jack's body in comparison to the lesser Ripper Hoppers, while Jack stayed to be near his new hunting grounds.
