Jack O'Lantern
"And I used to love pumpkins..."


The foul curse cast on this poor creature has changed it in a horrific manner. Having been wronged in a cruel way, vengeance is what drives Jack now. His present form is a gruesome sight to behold, and spells doom for the unfortunate souls which cross its path. The Jack O’Lantern likes to hide in pumpkin patches during the harvest, bursting forth from the ground to attack unsuspecting passersby. Beware of his minions, the Will O'Wisps, for where they roam Jack is not far behind. Time and again, this cackling creature rises from the fresh soil to feed his bloodlust with the changing of the seasons. For the residents of Solomon Island, winter can’t come soon enough.[1]


Jack OLantern1

There are more similarities between Jack and Scarecrows than between either and other homunculi or Familiars, especially their preferred habitat and tattered clothing. This may be because Jack is the first creation of Archibald Henderson, who used the same blood rites to raise the Scarecrows to their eternal hunt.

According to the Illuminati debriefing in Something Wicked, Jack was a creation of grief, after the death of one of his daughters.

Honeycombs of Lore, about the Wisps that follow close behind Jack, tell he was a creation of hate. They tell of a young wastrel who romanced Henderson's daughter and was cut down by the jealous father.. and raised into the Jack form by the father's necromancy.[2]

The honeycomb does not tell what befell the daughter, so it is possible that both tales are mostly true.
