Jack "The Ripper"

Named for an ancient legend of Terra. A wraith-man who stalked ancient city streets, killing and leaving messages to taunt those who sought to catch him. Imperial scholars believe that the myth is based in fact, of a notorious serial killer. 
Regardless of the veracity of this tale, it can be safely said that Jack himself, is a true successor. Peerless in the arts of stealth, and mastery of short, sharp objects, He terrorised the nobility of the feudal world of Tirandyr for over a year, in a campaign of theft, intimidation and murder. 
A notable, but by no means, the exhaustive list of his exploits is included below.
* The murder of a merchant king in his bed, accomplished without waking his wife, sharing the said bed. 
* Stealing the extremely valuable Imperator Diamond from the Gerimat noble family, planting it on the person of a young lord from another house, the day before said lord was due to visit the family, leading to an honour duel in which the man was killed. Then later to reveal that he engineered the incident. 
* Switching the infant children of two merchant houses, one of them noted for its families' bright ginger hair. Leading to a highly public and embarrassing infidelity scandal. 
* Breaking into the Planetary Governor's palace, only to write "Hello Governor -Jack" in the diary he kept in his bedchamber writing desk.
From these acts, it appears evident that Jack had no specific agenda, other than tormenting the rich and powerful of the world and entertaining himself. It is for this reason, that when the Planetary Governor called for aid from the Imperium at large, the decision was made to capture Jack rather than simply hunt and kill him, as such a man could be made a tool of the Imperium. 
Jack was captured by taunting him into attempting to break into the Governor's palace again, and while he slit the man's throat, the room was filled with sedative gas, and the entrances remotely locked, unfamiliar with technology, the concept was entirely foreign to jack, and he could not have planned for such an eventuality.
