Outward Appearance

The man stands at the height of five feet and ten inches, not overly muscular yet far from being weak. Coal black in colour, his messy hair is kept back in a low ponytail, revealing a scar that runs down his left temple. A rather handsome face is ruined by the wild beard he refuses to shave, but that isn't enough to cover the grin he almost always wears. It is rarely a sheepish grin, and an evil one just as rarely. Most often it either is malicious or attempts to be charming.
Even though now he's grown up into a rather calm, if not even fearless, man, he wasn't always that way. When he was but a boy, in facts, he was afraid of almost everything and, when he was in fear, he used to curve his back, clench his teeth and curl up his lips like a canine. That's what earned him the nickname "Jackal".
His clothes, although worn and patched, retain a certain elegance, half-contrasting with his feathered wide-brimmed hat and his mantle, both rather well-kept.
He has a bag where he keeps, among other things, a smaller bag with pipe-weed and a quite ornate pipe with intricate leaf designs carved in the wood.
The smell of sweat, not too heavy on him, is almost covered by that of smoke, of both pipe and chimney.

The only weapon he carries is a long, lightly rusting dagger (more like a spike, since it lacks a proper edge - it still is very effective as a nasty bloody stabber though), simply tucked under his belt. He does have a proper sharp knife with a proper sheath in his bag, bu that isn't exactly a weapon.

His baritone voice mirrors his calm self as it always sounds low and quiet, yet he claims that he can yell out a curse from outside the Prancing Pony and they will hear it all the way down to the Auction House.

Background

((WIP))

Born in Combe, at the age of five he survived the fire that killed his parents. The fate of his two brothers and his sister is unknown, as their remains were not found in the house after the fire. His former neighbours then advised him to move to Bree. There he lived the life of a beggar for two years, surviving with the few coins some people would spare and with the small animals - cats and birds, mostly - he occasionally managed to catch.
Eventually a man called Dave brought him with himself. He was the only man in his house in the Stone Quarter, as his wife Laura would only give him six daughters. The woman was never too kind to little James, but the six girls and himself became friends rather quickly.

As he grew up, he discovered that Dave earned the money for his family by dealing in stolen goods and contraband. He was quite a successful fence, and he began to bring James along. He would also let James handle some of the dealings. He was almost illiterate, but he could count, and he also taught James to count.

A streak of unlucky events forced Dave to build up a tremendously large amount of debts and in the end, seeing himself useless for not being able to provide properly for his family, he hanged himself. While Laura and her daughters - five now, since a fever took one of them - disappeared, James inherited Dave's house, along with his debts.

Friends
Some.
Relatives
He is sure to have some, he just can't remember who they are.
Rivals/Enemies
Not really many. The Watch, to some degree.
Loves
Ale, whiskey; anything that can be smoked; women, all of them, though he knows when to flirt and when to avoid it.
Hates
Not really anyone. Yet.
Motivation
To finish paying off his debts and... to raise a family, at some point, perhaps?
Quotes
[As an answer to a woman who told him that her husband left her] "Good boy. I'd 'ave done th' same."
