Jack

"' Stand still, please.'"

Jack is an un-aligned resident of South, living in a hole in the mountains wall, wherein can be found a battery chicken farm, alongside his study.

Personality
Jack can be described as unempathetic, logical, and curious. His interactions with other people demonstrate either a lack of self-awareness or a lack of care to how his words and actions affect those around him. He may eavesdrop non-subtly on conversations that don't involve him, actively ignore people who say things that don't concern or matter to him, and claim arguably unfair jurisdiction on things such as stone from a mountain because it lies within South's borders.

History
Little is known about the Shaman, or 'Grimnar' as he likes to call himself, prior to his arrival at South. He arrived unannounced one day and made it his permanent home, fitting in perfectly with local culture despite no one knowing where he originated. What is known is antics afterwards. Soon after arriving at South, he constructed a very inhumane chicken farm, utilizing incredibly cramped conditions and lava to supply South with chicken and feathers. Around this time, he also discovered an ancient portal in South's mines, leading a place he claimed is called 'Helheim'. While other towns did possess portals to 'Helheim', no one explored it as fervently as the Shaman who began taking mental notes in anticipation of writing a complete exploration guide.

On his second trip, he came into possession of a hot rod compose of unknown material. Using this rod, he began to brew potions (which he continues to do), and log all of his experiments in his journal, of which he keeps two copies. It is also of note that some people, Dan specifically, claim that he is in possession of one of the skulls, though Grimnar denies ever acquiring one. The Shaman soon met a fellow named Logun, from West, and after showing off some of his potions, the two made a deal in which West would supply his research if the Shaman gave West a completed copy of his journal. The two would soon meet Dan, a member of East (of which Grimnar has tested many of his more dangerous potions on) who eventually tried to steal Grimnar's journal. After Logun repulsed Dan with a bucket of lava, the Shaman reportedly burned both copies of his research notes so that Dan could not get his hands on them.

In the present, Grimnar is trying to gather as many skulls as he can. When questioned, the Shaman explains that it is "for his research", but his motives are unknown.
