History: Originally born Zack F. Rust, Jack is the bastard son to the Winter Kingdom's king. He was cast out of the castle as a young child and turned to the streets, where he was thought he would perish and die. He was taken in by a poor, elderly couple who could bear no children of their own. When he was seven, the couple passed away and Jack was once again left to die on the streets.
Luck was on his side, however, and he was able to join a guild of street urchins who offered him some meager protection and shelter. He stayed in the guild and to the shadows for a long time, becoming desensitized to the poverty, death, and horrors that surrounded him daily. Then, one day, he decided he was tired of being scared and powerless all the time and went to search for the city's best assassin in order to apprentice under him. He found him, only by chance, but was turned away. Curiosity bubbled inside his soon-to-be master, Onen Dien, and the assassin watched the boy closely for a while. When he saw the situation at the guild and how weak and cowardly Jack was, he gave Jack a challenge: If Jack really wanted to be Dien's apprentice, he would show his worth and kill the head of the guild within the week.
Confused and cowardly, afraid of commitment, Jack waited until the last moment, and it was only when the guild head, a boy of eighteen, had raped him that Jack finally lashed out and killed him, discovering his power over the cold (which most of the other boys had only a scant command over) in the process. Dien witnessed the whole thing and took on Jack as his apprentice.
Jack spent sixteen years training under Dien after crossing the borders into another isolated part of the country, learning everything he could from the master assassin. While crossing over the border, Jack attempted to register official papers in his name to allow him to travel. Unfortunately the processing center was quite busy and loud, so the official misheard him and be went from being Zack F. Rust to Jack Frust. He was eventually able to become better than Dien, having much of the natural talent and magic power required of being a good assassin. Over the years, Jack had developed feelings for a girl and planned to leave the assassin life in order to be with her. Dien refused to let this be and kills the girl, telling Jack that the perfect killer has no friends - only contracts. Jack turns on his master and kills him, inheriting everything his master left behind in the process.
Alone again, Jack turns to his work, taking comfort in the fact that he has the makings of a legend within him.
