Appearance
Jack the Ripper was an adult man of average height and muscular build. He possesses a
regular haircut and a full short beard.
First seen with a full suit, he would go bare-chested when transformed into a Zombie and
hide a number of daggers in his body.
Personality
Jack the Ripper is shown to have a gentlemanly facade, able to convince a woman to walk
with him on a dark night. When he reveals his true colors, he does not hesitate to stab the
unarmed woman to death. This trait becomes even worse when he's turned into a
Zombie as he becomes even more cruel and insane. Jack is shown to have a desire only to
cut things and cause pain.
Abilities
After being turned into a Zombie, Jack becomes even more insane than he was as a
human. Incapable of feeling pain in his undead state, Jack uses this to his advantage -
inserting sub-dermal scalpels all over his body. Jack also has incredible speed,
demonstrated by his being able to kill a man, decapitate two horses, and hide inside the
body of one in a matter of seconds.
Scalpels: With the scalpels buried in his body, Jack is able to expel them merely via
muscle contraction. He then throws these knives with pinpoint accuracy over great
distances.
Monstrous Knife: Re-modeled from a Dark Ages torture instrument, Jack uses the knife to
cut his foes to shreds.
History
Phantom Blood
After killing his final victim as a human, Jack was approached by a then-incapacitated Dio
Brando who saw the evil in the man's heart and decides to make him the first of his zombie
minions. Refusing at first, Jack accepted after a failed attempt to kill Dio. (In the anime, Dio
instead hypnotizes Jack to come forward so that the former could suck his blood to turn him
into a loyal zombie servant.)
Later, he corners Jonathan Joestar, Robert E. O. Speedwagon and Will Anthonio Zeppeli in
a tunnel on their way to Windknight's, decapitating their coachman along with the horses as
he hid in one of them. Once revealing himself, Jack proceeded to throw the coach wagon
into the mouth of the tunnel to prevent Jonathan and his companions from escaping.
Zeppeli, fighting Jack to prove a point about Ripple energy and courage, manages to
wound the zombie as he escapes into a labyrinth hidden in the tunnel, intending to attack
from the darkness. Zeppeli gives Jonathan the task to finish off Jack as his final test, giving
the youth a wine glass to pinpoint Jack's location on the other side of a wall, JoJo
eliminates Jack with a well-aimed Sendo Hamon Overdrive, surging through the brick wall
and melting Jack.

Video Games
Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)
Jack appears as a boss fight in two chapters. In the first, the player must defeat him using
Zeppeli as the battle has a time limit.
In the second battle, the player takes control of Jonathan, as Jack keeps running around
the stage, trying to perform surprise attacks with his torture instrument. During the battle, a
small glass of wine appears in the corner of the screen, indicating Jack's presence by
visibly vibrating.
Jack can be played in some battles in EXTRA MODE. His special move allows him to
launch all the scalpels in his body at the opponent.
