Jack North

Jack North is an entrepreneur, professional entertainer, and chairman of North Enterprises, a fledgling entertainment and advertising conglomerate in Hygard.

Adventuring Grounds
North first got his start as the proprietor of the North Adventuring Grounds, a professional simulated-adventure park in Gnoverhead, Pinnsmouth. The Adventuring Grounds were built on a vast stretch of Pinnsmouth territory that North purchased from the Hygardian government with funds from his sizeable inheritance. North advertised the Grounds as a place to experience the "thrill of legendary adventure from a bygone age" and orchestrated a number of original game paths based on mythic adventures from the Silver and Golden ages. Over the multi-year construction and decade-long tenure of the Grounds, North employed hundreds of workers and artisans, including Ruddemore shipwright Frankie Walsh.

North Enterprises
Following the Hal's Week Uprising in Pinnsmouth, North transferred his business to Vista City, where he founded North Enterprises, an entertainment and advertising conglomerate that the city was in desperate need of following the closing of its most visited casino, Goldenbones. North Enterprises has a central office in the Smogs and operates a number of theatres, recreational centers, and advertising offices throughout the city boroughs.

Early Life
Before Jack North arrived in Gnoverhead in 1238 with a hefty inheritance to buy and build his adventuring park, there are no surviving records of his name or family, though North purports to have been born in Ruddermore, just several hours away. North also matches the physical description of one Joren "The Lock" Longwrath, an infamous pirate of the Crystal Coast who captained the Queen Clarita's Fury. In light of the Starboard Addendum and the scouring of Incognita, Longwrath is wanted for high crimes against the Grand Kainos National Union, but he has not been seen since 1236. His early life is not well documented outside of having been born in Pinnsmouth and trained under Bad Scabbard, The Mace of the West. The Grand Kainos National Union is actively seeking information on Longwrath's wherabouts.
