Eyeless Jack

"Burn in Hell, all of you."

- Eyeless Jack to Jenny Smith

Eyeless Jack, formerly Jack Nichols, is a cannibalistic serial killer affiliated with the Creeps, and was the former partner-in-crime of Jeff the Killer.

Early Life
Not much is currently known about Jack's past. At some point during high school, he befriended Skye Martin, Lyra and Toby Rogers.undefined After graduating high school, he enrolled in West Point College.

Becoming Eyeless Jack
At college, he befriended a girl named Jenny Smith, who invited him over to hang out with her friends in a cave deep in the wooded area outside campus grounds. The night following the meeting, Jack went to investigate a possible fire coming from the direction of the cave, against his roommate Greg's warnings. He then stumbled upon a cult ritual dedicated to Slavic deity Chernobog, and was inadvertently captured and forced to become the cult's human sacrifice. Jenny, revealed to be a cult member herself, removed his eyes while another member poured an unknown black substance into his now-hollow eye sockets, triggering his transformation into a 'son of Chernobog'. Upon regaining consciousness, he massacred the entire cult, including Jenny, before fleeing the scene.undefined

Without a body to confirm his death, he became the prime suspect of the subsequent investigation of the murders, though it eventually went cold and he was presumed dead nevertheless.

Killer on the Run
Soon after the incident at the cave, he killed a group of hikers from a neighboring town, enucleating and disemboweling them as he did with the cult, though their kidneys were notably missing when the bodies were recovered afterwards. His modus operandi evolved over time, from brutal killings to merely organ harvesting, mostly kidneys; more of his victims began to survive their encounters with him.

At some point, Jack encountered Jeff the Killer, and the two worked together as partners-in-crime for a little over a year. Eventually, the pair parted ways on somewhat bitter terms, as Jack implied he became disgusted by Jeff's bloodlust. He later encountered Toby Rogers, who had been turned into one of the Operator's mindless proxies, and the two briefly fought, to Jack's reluctance.

Some time later, Jack reunited with Toby and Skye Martin, both now freed from the Operator's influence. After the SCP Foundation contained the latter two, Jack went to break them out but was captured as well. He was able to escape alongside Skye, Toby and Tim Wright during a containment breach, and subsequently went on the run with them.undefined When the others began settling down into normal lives, Jack remained on the run but frequently visited them, sometimes staying overnight in the backyard shed.

Framed for Murder
During the summer of 2017, New Haven Detective Abigail Bishop and FBI Special Agent Joel Gilliam began investigating into the deaths of two suburban families, one of which was suspected to be Jack's doing due to the similar signature. After the two investigators visited the Sullivan household, where his human allies lived, Skye Martin contacted Jack, who denied any knowledge or true involvement of the murders. He allowed her to dispose of his belongings in the shed before the investigators could return with a search warrant.

Upon learning Skye and Toby Rogers had been arrested, Jack went to confront the police, severely injuring an officer and suffering a gunshot wound to the shoulder, which he showed little reaction to. He presented the police and Gilliam with an ultimatum: acquit Skye and Toby of all charges in exchange for his arrest, or he would slaughter everyone present and escape with his friends. Gilliam agreed to the first condition and arrested the former serial killer, who briefly reunited with Skye before being placed in separate rooms.

During his interrogation, Jack denied knowledge of and involvement in the murders, and had an alibi for the night they occurred: he was burgling a store in the other side of town when the murders occurred, then returned to the house, with Toby as a witness, thereby providing Toby with an alibi as well. He also denied Jeff the Killer's involvement in the murders, pointing out discrepancies between his and the killer's methods, leading the investigators to conclude they were dealing with a copycat killer.

Jack was present when the Operator attacked and abducted Skye and Toby, before receiving a letter from HABIT shortly after, who claimed to be holding Skye and Toby hostage. After briefly reuniting with Jeff, Jack subdued him and made an arrangement with Gilliam: he would be allowed to go after HABIT, but promised he would return and surrender both himself and Jeff to the Foundation. Gilliam agreed and took them both to the No-End House. With Jeff in tow, Jack entered the house.

Personality
Jack initially appeared to be quite confident and borderline arrogant, unfazed even in the face of a dozen police officers, even taunting Gilliam for their history with the Foundation. However, he did appear to care for his two friends, Skye and Toby, going out of his way to retrieve their medicine and was even willing to turn himself in for the sake of securing their freedom. He was also quite protective of them, intending to keep them away from Jeff, fearing the latter might kill them should he ever meet them. Jack also despised his cannibalism, feeling great remorse in having to kill others to sate his own hunger, thus had been trying his best to keep avoid harming his victims more than needed, resulting in a low kill count in recent years.undefined

Physical Appearance
As a human, Jack had fair skin, brown hair and blue eyes.undefined After becoming Eyeless Jack, his eyes had been gouged out, leaving hollow eye sockets in their place, and his skin became an inhuman shade of grey. He often wore a dark blue featureless mask with two round eye-holes to hide his identity.undefined He commonly wore a black hooded jacket, dark cargo pants and worn sneakers.

Powers
Enhanced Physiology : After his transformation, Jack gained superior physical attributes that exceeds typical human capabilities. He also gained some supernatural attributes, including a healing factor and immunity to the Operator's influence.
 * Superhuman Senses : Despite lacking eyes, Jack's remaining senses were enhanced to superhuman levels, which he relies on in order to navigate around safely and easily. His keen sense of smell allows him to detect the scent of blood even over long distances, which often rouses his hunger when he gets too close to humans without feeding for a while, though he noted his sense is weaker than that of Smile Dog. He can also detect the presence of the Operator and his proxies within a certain radius, as well as their distinct smell of rust due to the radiation they generate; he claimed Siren's radiation was strong enough that he would be repulsed to even be in the same room as either her or Skye. He is also able to sense the presence of other supernatural creatures such as Jeff the Killer and Smile Dog within a vicinity.
 * Superhuman Strength : Jack displays a considerable amount of strength compared to the average human. He is able to easily overpower other humans, even trained SCP agents with little difficulty despite his relative lack of combat training, by using his sheer strength alone.
 * Superhuman Speed : Jack can run and move at speeds faster than the typical human.
 * Superhuman Stamina : Jack was able to fight Jeff the Killer without showing any signs of fatigue.
 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Jack is able to quickly heal and recover from wounds, regardless of severity, without any apparent lasting consequences. During his confrontation with the New Haven Police Department, he suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder that quickly healed after he removed the bullet with a pair of tweezers.undefined
 * Immunity to the Sickness: Jack seems to be immune to the Operator's influence, showing none of the typical symptoms associated with the Sickness despite being in close proximity and frequently exposed to the entity.

Abilities

 * Expert Combatant : Jack is fairly proficient in fighting and combat, having picked up some proper hand-to-hand combat skills in order to fight and better defend himself since going on the run. He was able to fight against and neutralize an armed Jeff the Killer while he himself was unarmed.
 * Knife Mastery : Jack is very proficient in using blades, notably his signature scalpel, turning it into a deadly weapon despite its small size.


 * Gifted Intellect : Jack was a straight-A student in high school and college.undefined As a former medical student, Jack also possesses a fair deal of medical and anatomical knowledge.
 * Expert Surgeon : Despite his lack of vision and never receiving much formal training, Jack was able to perform successful surgical procedures on unaware victims, and was skilled enough that he had a low body count while still active. He claimed to have practiced by treating Toby's wounds multiple times in the past, most notably the large gash across the latter's cheek.

Possessions

 * Scalpel : Jack's main weapon of choice is a scalpel, specifically a modified #20 scalpel. He often used it to harvest kidneys from his victims, replacing the blade regularly when it would wear out. He also had at least one other scalpel, presumably of the same type, as backup.undefined
 * Mask : Jack often wore a blue featureless mask with two round holes for eyes to hide his identity as a serial killer. The mask's eye-holes were often stained by the black blood leaking from his eyes. He obtained this mask from one of the cultists responsible for his transformation.undefined
 * White Cane: In more recent years, Jack carried a white cane with him while in public, which he claimed averted people's attention and questions from him, but also to assist him in walking around when he could not completely rely on his other senses to navigate.

Jeff the Killer
Jeff the Killer is Jack's former partner-in-crime. The two worked together in the past for a little over a year, but eventually fell out and parted ways on somewhat bitter terms. Both killers were later framed in the 2017 homicide case in New Haven, due to their similar killing patterns in the past. After Jack turned himself in to the police, Jeff attempted to free Jack from custody under the belief that the police and the Foundation had captured and arrested him.

Skye Martin
Skye is Jack's friend and ally. The two have been friends since high school, though were temporarily separated after Jack left for college. They presumably reunited sometime after Toby's disappearance, as Jack claimed to be present when the Operator abducted her. He eventually found her again after she and Toby escaped the Operator, and tried to free them from SCP containment but was captured himself.undefined The two continued to maintain a close relationship after escaping containment, but because of Siren's presence within Skye's body, Jack began avoiding being in close proximity with her, instead maintaining frequent communication with her through phone calls.

Toby Rogers
Toby is Jack's friend and ally. Jack mentioned he once encountered Toby after the latter had been turned into a proxy, and reluctantly fought him when the latter attempted to kill him, presumably under the Operator's orders. However, the two appeared to hold no grudges against each other after Toby was freed from the Operator's control, as Jack later attempted to free Toby from SCP containment, but failed and was caught himself.undefined After escaping the Foundation, Jack often treated Toby's wounds, most notably the gash in the latter's cheek, and even joked that Toby needed an Elizabethan collar to keep him from tearing his own stitches apart. Jack also expressed a great deal of concern for Toby after the Operator abducted the latter and Skye a second time.

Tim Wright
Tim Wright was Jack's acquaintance. The true nature of their relationship is currently unknown.

Trivia

 * Eyeless Jack is based on the creepypasta of the same name.
 * However, due to the ambiguous nature and background of the character in the original creepypasta, the fan-made origin by La-Mishi-Mish was used as the basis of the character's background in the series instead, which establishes Jack's former name, appearance, human origins and subsequent transformation into Eyeless Jack.
