Name:

Blackjack

Aliases:

Black, Jack

Gender:

Male

Age:

60

Species:

Humanoid Monster

Profession:

De-facto Owner of Ace-Up Arcade, Gunsmith, Mob Boss

Appearance:

Blackjack stands at an above-average height with a burly, overweight physique, his purple skin stretched taut over a formidable frame that speaks of decades spent in both physical labor and indulgent leisure. His bald head gleams under the light, accentuating the bushy grey eyebrows that frame his round, opaque pince-nez glasses, behind which his beady black eyes miss little. A magnificent, large grey handlebar mustache dominates his face, its meticulously waxed ends curling upward with an almost theatrical flair, while his missing left foot has been replaced with a sturdy wooden peg leg that taps rhythmically against the floor as he moves. His round nose is darker purple than the rest of his skin, and his thick neck leads down to broad shoulders and a prominent belly.

Clothing:

Blackjack's attire presents a deliberate fusion of refined elegance and imposing authority, anchored by a black silk top hat adorned with a deep purple band that matches the vibrant hue of his oversized bowtie and the rich velvet of his waistcoat. His crisp white collared shirt remains impeccably starched beneath the unbuttoned lavender trench coat that drapes dramatically from his broad shoulders, while opaque pince-nez glasses with black frames perch precariously on the bridge of his nose, their lenses concealing his calculating gaze. A well-worn brown tobacco pipe frequently dangles from his lips, releasing aromatic plumes of smoke, while his lower wear consists of black suit trousers, and his single brown loafer shines with polished care against the stark contrast of his left wooden peg leg.

Behaviour:

Blackjack presents himself as the quintessential gentleman entrepreneur, radiating an eccentric charm and neighborly warmth that endears him to Easttown's residents. He engages in lively banter, offers generous donations to local causes, and frequently hosts community events at his arcade, all while maintaining an impeccably polished appearance and mannerisms, only ever drawing conflict with others over mundane things, or acting out as a stereotypical old coot against the town's youth. Blackjack to the outsider observer is simply a well-meaning, if slightly odd, elderly man. To those who actually know him, however, he is anything but the case.

Blackjack's affable facade masks a cold, calculating, and deeply selfish individual driven by insatiable ambition and greed. He harbors a bitter resentment towards the past, which he blames for Easttown's stagnation and his own past financial ruin, making him a vocal proponent of modernization and detesting anything "outdated" that makes Easttown what it is. Despite this world view, he is a deep hypocrite, clinging to the very traditions he publicly scorns when they serve his interests, most prominently his family's legacy. He recklessly expands his criminal operations with little regard for the consequences, viewing the town and its people as pawns in his grand scheme for wealth and power. He believes he is entitled to control Easttown's future as the legitimate heir to its founders, justifying his actions as necessary for the town's survival while secretly enriching himself at everyone else's expense. Though no doubt intelligent and nuanced - maintaining enough foresight to be able to look back on himself, Blackjack's greed and bitterness ultimately cloud his judgment rendering him morally bankrupt and dangerously unpredictable. To him, the House will always win, and he will be at the top when that happens, just like his predecessors before him.

Traits/Trivia:

  • Blackjack suffers from chronic arthritis in his hands, a condition worsened by decades of blacksmithing. The wooden peg leg resulted from a blacksmithing accident in his youth, though he tells varying dramatic stories about its origin depending on his audience.
  • Blackjack's greatest regret is not having children of his own, though he'd never acknowledge this vulnerability. He sees Ace as a surrogate son.
  • Blackjack is a heavy chainsmoker.
  • Despite his ruthless nature, Blackjack adheres to a strict personal code of honor. He never harms children and always repays his debts.
  • Blackjack has secret ties to Mayor Carol Holiday from Hometown. In exchange for diverting criminal activity away from Hometown and serving as a broker of information, she turns a blind eye to his operations in Easttown. This mutually beneficial arrangement has lasted for years.
  • Blackjack is a patron of the arts, secretly funding local musicians and artists he believes show promise, though he never takes credit for his patronage.
  • Blackjack is a massive nerd in all things gangster and mobster related, owning a vast collection of films, books, and memorabilia from the genre. He often quotes classic gangster movies in conversation.
  • Blackjack has some limited knowledge and a fascination with Dark Worlds and the supernatural, stemming from his business ties to Carol Holiday. He views them as potential assets to exploit rather than objects of genuine curiosity.

Likes:

fine tobacco, gambling, classical music, expensive alcohol, manipulating others, scheming, guns, blacksmithing, high class fashion, old gangster/mobster movies, lavish parties, hunting, collecting vintage and luxury collectibles and weaponry

Dislikes:

sentimental nostalgia (even if he is guilty of it himself), small-mindedness, poor craftsmanship, being contradicted, disloyalty, loud noises, unruly youth, moral posturing

Fears:

his criminal empire falling, hurting his nephew Ace, leaving behind no legacy

Backstory:

Blackjack's lineage traces directly back to Easttown's original founders, though decades of obscurity had eroded any meaningful connection to that heritage - as much as he wants to poise himself as the current head of the family. He initially established himself as a skilled blacksmith and gunsmith, crafting reliable firearms and tools for the local community. However, his business faltered under mounting competition and the catastrophic financial collapse of the Mining Co., which had long propped up Easttown's economy - threatening to turn the entirety of the settlement into a ghost town. Left destitute and adrift, Blackjack spent years working from place to place, before conceiving a bold venture: leveraging Easttown's slow recovery and budding tourism sector by establishing a dual-purpose arcade and gambling hall under his nephew Ace's name, in what was originally just a simple scheme to circumvent taxes. To his own astonishment, the Ace Up Arcade flourished beyond expectation, going from a rundown barn in the middle of town to rapidly amassing wealth and becoming Easttown's most successful enterprise.

This sudden influx of capital, the lingering sense of being unable to square up to his once ruling family's legacy and an endless craving for more ignited a ruthless ambition within Blackjack. His once more or less legal enterprise soon became a front for his devolution into crime. He started off small; running illicit gambling rings in the arcade's back rooms, loan sharking, and discreetly trading in black-market firearms crafted in his old, repurposed workshop. Over time, his influence expanded through strategic alliances with fellow criminal gangs, establishing protection rackets, smuggling rings and the eventual establishment of a criminal empire under his House of Cards mob. Today, operating behind the closed doors of his arcade, Blackjack rules Easttown's underworld with an iron fist, ensuring his operations remained undetected by maintaining a veneer of legitimate business, community benevolence, and above all, a light-hearted gentlemanly persona. After all, who would suspect the uncle of the town's most successful businessman of being a mob boss?
