Biography
Born into a life of magic and the supernatural. Young Jack Boniface would never know the love of either parent thanks to their lifestyle. His father seemingly vanished before he was born while his mother Helena disappeared when he was around eight. As a ward of the state he went from foster home to foster home with only a medallion handed down from his parents as a keepsake. He grew up to have a diverse skill set and working at a local museum in New Orleans. Here his boss managed to dig up all the information he could find on his parents. The revelation of their criminal background caused him to finally discard the medallion he had always held so dear. This act caused him to start manifesting the “shadowman powers” and brought him to the attention of both good and evil magic users.
When he was attacked by demons he fully manifested his powers saving his life and leading him to his father’s old friend Dox and the beautiful Alyssa.
