Background
Jack Shen'Kar is the son of former King Machris and former Queen Raylah and fourth king and sixth monarch of the Nightmare Realm. He was raised in the royal palace with life being handed to him on a silver platter. He is proud of his race and their seemingly limitless capacity for power and strength. Jack's parents raised him to rule the Nightmare kingdom with a fist of iron and a heart of gold, to make sure that his only concern was the well being of the kingdom. While most of those ideals remained with him, Jack's current mentality is plain and simple: protect the kingdom, his family, and destroy those who get in his way.

Personality
Jack is focused, determined, patient, and steady minded. He carries himself in a prideful and somewhat boastful manner. He is calm, collected, and presents a confident air about him. Jack's outward persona makes him appear arrogant and selfish, however, Jack is extremely family-oriented and emotionally driven. In most circumstances, his first action is to see if there is anyone he needs to protect or find out who his potential enemy is.

Growing up, Jack was secluded and kept away from others around his age. He often was seen by others with a scowl on his face, regardless if he was angry or not. During his younger years, Jack was much easier to fluster and embarrass. Jack's easily embarrassed demeanor was due to his easily broken confidence and focus. Though he often attempted to depict himself in such a way that would make him seem confident and steadfast, his lack of social experience and fear of disappointment would cripple him. Unable to make friends, Jack was built on the mindset upon relying on himself and himself alone; reluctant to accept assistance.

Another of Jack's prominent traits is his loyalty. The King has exhibited faithful and selfless habits countless times. Jack treats most he meets with great care, especially towards other Nightmares. He possesses an incredible sense of protection and affection toward other Nightmares as well. Upon first glance, Jack often appears aggressive and angry, however, those closer to the king know how adoring he can be. Jack's largest concern in almost all situations is the well being of those he cares about most.
