Samurai Jack

"Thanks are not necessary. It is my duty to oppose the minions of Aku and my mission to vanquish the very demon himself."

- Jack

Personality
Jack strongly exhibits the characteristics of a stoic hero. He is unfailingly kind and generous, and will always attempt to help those in need, as well as dispatching sage like wisdom to those he believes are in need of guidance. He often ends up sacrificing a chance to return to his own time in order to help someone else. He has had considerable development during his time in the future. Initially, though polite and refined, he was very quick to anger and even more quick to being frustrated or irritated. His quest to return to his own time, having been thwarted again and again, even convinced him for a short time that returning to the past was impossible. However, over time, he has become much more patient and calm. He is also clever and rational, able to pose a plan or a strategy necessary to defeat the enemy, and also knowing his limits (such as when he is surrounded by too many enemies to defeat them by pure force). He is also extremely good at thinking on his feet, often improvising his way out of lethal, or impossibly bizarre, situations. He is also a very solitary man, tending not to socialize due to his focus on his quest.

However a running gag in the show is his inability or reluctance to understand the technology of the future, such as in one episode, Jack had attempted to escape Aku's fortress after rescuing two fairy like creatures by driving a hovercar, but he fails to operate it competently, claiming he prefers to walk. He is also quite good at keeping his wits about him when confronted with the outlandishly strange circumstances that he often finds himself in, simply rolling with the proverbial punches rather than becoming upset or baffled.

Story
Jack first appeared in the city after Aku took over where he lead a brotherhood that splash tried to reform. It wasnt until the battle of Shengai where the brotherhood got more memebers. soon he took part in where the brotherhood tried to stop the plans of assainating world leaders. 5 years later Jack left the brotherhood for traning himself, when he came back Aku had forged a cult and gathered inquisitors, bounty hunters and assains to kill the brotherhood. After Jade's death, Aku sent the Daughters of Aku to find and kill the rest of the brotherhood.
