Fable Anniversary Character Spotlight: Jack of Blades

It's our good friend Jack of Blades who is up for some spotlight action in the latest character profile piece for Lionhead Studios' Fable Anniversary.  Here's the text that accompanies his updated art render:
The denizens of Albion sleep soundly at night, safe in the knowledge that the Heroes Guild watch over them. Yet every dream has the potential to become nightmare, and the very worst nightmares are those based on a terrible reality.

The subject of many a nightmare is Jack of Blades. Joined by the Queen and Knight of Blades, the trio who became known as '˜The Court' first came to Albion to demand that the citizens of the land bow before them. Upon the people's refusal, they burned all of Albion, killing many and wreaking havoc upon the land. Yet the people of Albion are strong of heart, and undeterred by the terrible atrocities that befell them they still refused to bow. Infuriated by their insolence, this time the Court raised the seas and caused great floods. More defiant than ever and desperate to defy their tyranny, the small folk still refused to succumb, only giving in when this triumvirate of evil warped their minds, pushing them to insanity and finally gaining their loyalty.

And so the Court reigned over Albion for many years, until one William Black rose to challenge them and succeeded in destroying its three members. With great relief and jubilation, their terrible reign was at an end and slowly the people recovered and rebuilt their shattered lives. Yet despite their apparent destruction, an uncomfortable uncertainty remained over Jack's final fate indeed, if rumours can be believed, his dark soul lingers still, waiting for an opportunity to return to Albion.
