Origin and Background: (Irish) Jack Marsh was a freelance artist who specialized in painting murals and doing portraits. His skill as an artist kept him busy . His hard work and dedication helped him earn a reputation for his skill with the brush and for his ability to finish on time. He was on the top of the world. He was making a living doing what he loved best and he was engaged to Sian, who was the 'most beautiful woman in the world' (his words).

One night he was riding his motorbike from his studio to his small home in the country. He could see strange lights hovering over the nearby woods. Being the curious type, He pulled his bike over and took a look. He tramped through the woods as silently as he could. The woods were rather sparse so he had no difficulty finding his way through the surrounding trees.

In the middle was a small clearing that had multi-coloured lights buzzing back and forth around a strange stone structure. The structure looked like it was an ancient pagan altar of some type. On it was an ancient book that was closed but a red cloth bookmark could be seen in it. The strange lights disappeared as Jack walked towards the altar.

Deep inside, Jack knew he should turn and run away but he couldn't do it. Some unknown force was drawing him towards the closed book. He reached out with a trembling hand and opened the book. As the book opened, a loud crack of thundar echoed in the clearing and a strange orange energy surged from the book and into Jack.

Jack screamed as his body began to change. He grew in height by several inches and his body grew stronger and leaner. His extra weight (from years of endulging in red wine and fine food) disappeared. The greatest and most horrific transformation was his head literally changed from its normal shape to a grotesque pumpkin-like head with flames spouting from the top. The screaming had been replaced with an evil sounding cackling-like laughter. All that was decent about Jack Marsh had become corrupted into a being of pure evil. Burning Jack had been born again.

Burning Jack placed his hands on the stone altar and suddenly he was garbed in his gaudy costume and with the various mystical artefacts that he has owned through the ages. The spirit of Burning Jack had been tied to the book and altar several centuries ago by some unknown mage but he was now free to seek his vengeance once more. His first stop was at Jack's fiancee's home where he terrorized the young woman and then killed her. She would be the first of his many victims.

Burning Jack has teamed up with several fellow miscreants and they now act out their sinister machinations on a global scale. The world hasn't heard the last of Burning Jack.
