Jack of All Trades is a minor antagonist in Secret Agent Clank. He is a goon[1] enemy who acted as the personal bodyguard of the Kingpin, and primarily wielded card-based weaponry as someone who frequented Le Paradis Des Tricheurs Casino. Clank ran into him when trailing the Kingpin, and after defeating him, Captain Qwark fabricated a story in which he personally had battled Jack.
History[]
Jack was native to the planet Jorsey,[1] and frequented the High-Roller Casino.[2] Over time, he built up numerous mobster skills, including card skills, computer skills, and nunchuck skills.[1] At some point, he came to work for the Kingpin, and the Agency had a file on him.[3]
The briefing on the Jack.
In "All The Kingpin's Men", Clank was briefed with some information on the Kingpin and Jack of All Trades after he had tracked the Eye of Infinity to Rionosis. While trailing the Kingpin and after defeating the expatriots escorting him, the Jack of All Trades arrived to protect the Kingpin, knocking Clank out.
In "Get A Lift", Jack protected the Kingpin using mortar cannons as the two fled, with Clank still following. At the end of a gondola chase, Jack stayed behind while the Kingpin left, and Clank knocked out the Jack with a Clank Fu uppercut. Clank took a card from Jack, tracing it to the High-Roller Casino, and used it as his clue for the location of the Eye.[2]
Sometime after Clank had knocked out Jack, Captain Qwark and Barney later arrived on the scene, seeing the unconscious Jack. On the spot, Qwark fabricated a story in which he had fought and defeated Jack, prompting "Qwarkography, The Gamblin' Years".
Characteristics[]
Concept art.
The Jack of All Trades has a large and bulbous bodyshape, with a dark purple and gray paint coloration on his metal skin, designed to look like a suit, alongside a bowl hat and a white tie. His back can open up to reveal a pair of massive mortar cannons. The Jack has a miniature robotic hat factory built into his chassis in order to generate an unlimited supply of weaponized hats for combat purposes, which he could throw akin to boomerangs with embedded sawblades in the rim. He was said to eat smaller henchbots.[1]
His card skills allow him to send forth a flurrying blast of cards, whereas his mortars can fire missiles and bombs on a delayed timer. When Qwark fought him he also had laser eyes.
