==Summary==
Jack Skellington is the main protagonist of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and its subsequent expanded media.
He is a denizen of Halloween Town and its most respected master of fright, earning him the title of Pumpkin King. Everyone is enamored with his ability to scare even the bravest on the night of Halloween, though deep down, after so many years of doing the exact same thing, Jack comes to want more out of life; something that he seems to be empty without. However, after coming across a forest in the Hinterlands with various trees containing portals to different holiday worlds, he falls down into one of them, leading him to Christmas Town, where he grows fascinated with the concept of Christmas. When he returns to Halloween Town, he is excited to share it with the citizens, but none of them truly seem to understand it. After pondering its deeper meaning for a while, he finds the answer he was searching for, and decides to take on the duty of managing the holiday of Christmas himself, sending a trio of pranksters named Lock, Shock, and Barrel to kidnap Santa Claus so that he may replace him. However, his attempts soon result in disaster when his macabre version of Christmas ends up frightening rather than bringing joy like he had hoped. After realizing this, he attempts to remedy his mistake and rescues Santa Claus from the pranksters' leader, Oogie Boogie, whom he has feuded with in the past. With Santa back and Oogie defeated, all returns to how it should be, and Jack has felt more confident in where he belongs more than ever.
In the video-game sequel, Oogie's Revenge, set one year after the events of the first film, Jack sets off to innovate more for Halloween, and goes off on a trip to find ideas. Little does. he know that Lock, Shock, and Barrel have been planning for a chance to stitch Oogie Boogie back together and revive him after his demise in the film. While Jack is away, Oogie returns and manipulates the denizens of Halloween Town, overrunning it with monsters and brainwashing Dr. Finklestein with the prospect of not only having his revenge on Skellington, but becoming the Seven Holidays King as well. Naturally, now equipped with a parasitic weapon called the Soul Robber, when Jack returns, he makes it his mission to fix the mess Oogie has made and bring him down for good.

The same can be said for the many weapons he picks up along the way of his journey in Pumpkin King, such as boomerangs, frog guns, and bombsThe Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King. Despite this intelligence however, Jack is slightly naive and is prone to tunnel vision, unable to see the bigger picture of the harm he is causing to others over his excitement and curiosity for new things.

Weaknesses: Jack's tunnel-vision often leads to him not being able to see the bigger picture of certain things. Although he is perceptive of his surroundings and an expert at adapting to situations on the fly, he can get too wrapped up in his own excitement to notice the bigger threats or harm he's causing at hand, such as when he was too deluded with his own fantasy of becoming Santa Claus, that he could not recognize that the military was attempting to shoot him down for his apparent mockery of ChristmasThe Nightmare Before Christmas, or when he was too thick-headed to listen to Sally's vision of the future, despite her constant warningsThe Nightmare Before Christmas. However, one year past this, as of the events of Oogie's Revenge, he seems to have learned and moved on from thisThe Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge.
