- Notes: Jack is a refined and composed undead individual, possessing both gracefulness and patience. He is generally reliable in his efforts to act in the best interest of others. Despite his sound reasoning, Jack's decision-making may come under scrutiny on occasion. While he conducted thorough research on Christmas, he chose to stick with what he and his friends were familiar with when he decided to give Santa Claus a break and fill in for him.
