: Jackal is the leader of The Warriors, who fights with concealed blades and explosives. He is more intelligent and cautious than the average outlaw, with his motto being "If you want to survive in this age, avoid picking fights with people stronger than you".

==Appearance== | |||
He is a muscular dark-haired man who wears his hair in a mullet and has facial hair in the form of a goatee who has Hazel-colored eyes. | |||
He wears a furred coat that has a plate of armor over it that protects his heart, two furred armwarmers with spiked plates of armor over them and fingerless gloves, a metal cup over his groin, and two poleyns above his fur trimmed boots. | |||
==Personality== | |||
Jackal takes utmost caution in his villainous life, and takes preparations to gain a leverage against anybody, no matter how strong they are, such as strapping rows and rows of TNT on his chest to threaten [[Toyo]] with a suicide bombing that would wipe her and her children out. | |||
He has no emotional attachment to his henchmen, as he was perfectly fine having one of them die at Kenshiro's hand to demonstrate his Hokuto No Ken style to the rest of his underlings. | |||
He is shown to be completely unfettered whenever he feels that his victims can't fight back as he stabbed Toyo, an elderly lady in such a way that she would die slowly and painfully, showing that he is also spitefully sadistic, and he also planned to kill off Toyo's adopted children one by one in front of her eyes by hanging them. | |||
==Abilities== | |||
=== Intelligence === | |||
He is repeatedly shown to be a crafty and strategic individual as rather than fight face to face in direct combat like most denizens of the world, Jackal prefers to use deceptive and pragmatic methods in a fight. | |||
=== Physical Strength === | |||
Despite his disdain for up close & personal combat, Jackal is shown to be strong enough to kill two of his subordinates by pressing their heads together and compacting them. | |||
=== Weaponry === | |||
His two main weapons of choice are sticks of dynamite, which he wears as a suicide vest to threaten others, and he also tosses them as grenades, and a pair of wrist mounted blades that normally remain hidden. | |||

He is introduced as a patron of a bar, watching some of his goons battle Kenshiro after they provoke him. He overhears [[Taki]] requesting aid for his adoptive mother, [[Toyo]], and is tempted by the prospect of a village with a functional well. However, instead of attacking outright, Jackal opts to hang back and observe the village from afar, hoping to attack it after Kenshiro leaves. Several of his minions are less wary and attack the village immediately - although they are slaughtered by Kenshiro, their presence puts him on the alert for bigger trouble. Despite his concerns, Kenshiro eventually leaves Toyo's village with [[Bat| | He is introduced as a patron of a bar, watching some of his goons battle Kenshiro after they provoke him. He overhears [[Taki]] requesting aid for his adoptive mother, [[Toyo]], and is tempted by the prospect of a village with a functional well. However, instead of attacking outright, Jackal opts to hang back and observe the village from afar, hoping to attack it after Kenshiro leaves. Several of his minions are less wary and attack the village immediately - although they are slaughtered by Kenshiro, their presence puts him on the alert for bigger trouble. Despite his concerns, Kenshiro eventually leaves Toyo's village with [[Bat|Bat and ]][[Rin]] after digging a new well. Finally seeing an opening, Jackal leads his gang in a full-scale assault, only to narrowly avoid being shot by Toyo's rifle. Enraged, he stabs the old woman and (on the suggestion of his new lieutenant, [[Fox]]) threatens to hang the orphans in her care, one by one. Fortunately, Kenshiro returns to help the villagers, forcing Jackal and his gang to flee - but as a parting gift, the villain straps dynamite to several children and sends them into the village for Kenshiro to find. This leads to the death of Toyo, who is mortally wounded while shielding a child from the dynamite she removed from him. Following this incident, Jackal finds himself being hunted down by Kenshirō, who is infuriated and disgusted by Jackal's cruelty. The outlaw leader escapes into [[Villainy Prison]], where he used to be an inmate himself before breaking out, and tricks the monster [[Devil Rebirth]] into believing they are brothers, gaining a powerful ally against Kenshiro. However, Kenshirō defeats Devil, who accidentally pins Jackal down with his hand when he asks for his "brother's" help. The two are quickly blown up with a stick of Jackal's own dynamite. | ||
