==Powers and Abilities ==
Being the son of Merlin and the Lady of the Lake, being the two powerful sorcerers in the world, Jack is one of the most powerful sorcerer in his generation. It only enhanced after he was trained by Merlin, no matter how small amount of time they had. He successfully created a vision of the Holy Grail with Merlin when they first met. He was also powerful enough to kill the Lady of the Lake, a powerful being and avenging Merlin. 
Prior to becoming a sorcerer, Jack was also an expert thief, as he successfully stole Yvonne's necklace when he was in her room. 
He also has one of the purest hearts, as the Holy Grail only accepted those who possessed it
==Relationships ==
===Merlin (Father)===
Jack first tried to steal from Merlin but the Sorcerer took him in as his apprentice and taught him magic. During the fall of Camelot, Merlin learned he was Jack's biological father, as the Lady of the Lake had "created" a child. After Merlin's death, Jack became the new Royal sorcerer and continued his father's work. He had the utmost respect for Merlin, as he defended his biological father from the Lady of the Lake, prefering Merlin over her. They shared a brief reunion in the Land of the Dead, where Merlin and Jack embraced each other
===Lady of the Lake===
The Lady of the Lake was Jack's mother, and trapped Merlin in a fifty-year-sleep while also concieving their son, practicality raping him. After her son was born, the Lady left her son on the shores of the lake, where Jack was found by a human fisherman. After Merlin's death, she becomes Jack's arch-nemesis, only giving him the vision of where the Holy Grail was to lure the people of Camelot. 
Despite her using him, the Lady had some amount of love towards Jack, hoping he would master his powers under her tutelage. However, Jack immediately rejected his mother, preferring to fight in his father's name rather than hers. He later killed Lady with his magic, sending her away and avenging Merlin & Camelot.
===Brianna===
Brianna is Jack's love interest, true love and eventual wife. However, Jack and Brianna didn't get along, due to her trying to kill him at least twice: once when she catches him sneaking around Camelot and trying to right a wrong done to her family, leading them into a small fight. However, Jack used Merlin's wand and enchanted her, making him the first to learn Brianna was a woman. When he learned Brianna was a woman, he instantly fell in love with her; however, he cast a love spell on her, causing Brianna to kiss him and feel the same way. 
==Trivia==

*Like his father, Jack was created by the Lady of the Lake to use his magic.
*An allusion to him being the son of Merlin and the Lady of the Lake ran throughout three times in the film.
** Jack mentions his mother being a mermaid and how he was born in an underwater kingdom, clearly a reference to Avalon, in which the Lady ruled.
**Prior to Jack creating a vision of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, a ring of blue magic surrounded his neck similar to how the Lady had a necklace made of fish swimming around her neck.
**His magic is blue just like the Lady of the Lake is.
