Jack Kenthel is the de facto leader of a gang of thugs, psychopaths, and malcontents formerly based in Le'Or. An incident involving a fire in the Temple of Dru'El led to the group being stripped of all possessions as compensation, and they subsequently scattered. Recently, several members have managed to track him down and demand their own compensation, leading the smaller band to get back together in an effort to rebuild their former fortune.
Or, possibly, to make sure Jack doesn't take their investment and disappear...

Biography
Jack grew up on the mean streets of Le'Or, where every day is a struggle to survive... the near-universal peacefulness and boredom. Jack craved action and Le'or didn't have any, at least not until he and Eli met. Various other troublemakers joined the pair as their escapades got more bold, and what followed was a crime spree that left them all rich and well-equipped for a life on the canopy roads. Eventually, luck caught up with them. An experiment with a morningstar led to a raging fire in the High Temple of Dru'El and when the smoke cleared, Jack and his companions were divested of all their possessions to pay for the damage and the resurrections, and only escaped being flung off the canopies by agreeing to leave T'Nanshi for an undetermined amount of time.
Jack and his companions scattered, and after some time he and Bel'edine settled in Mikona to recover his losses. Eventually, the surviving members of his gang tracked him down and demanded repayment for the gear they'd lost. Though it was unclear why Jack should be responsible for the whole incident, sharpened steel is very persuasive and after some persuading he agreed to double their losses if they stuck around to help him.
Jack currently fights with a technique known as Windwalking, variously claimed to be either the harnessing of a Tyeduan Wind Spirit to aid in battle, or a conditioned fighting style learned through battle under the influence of a mind-altering chemical powder.
