Jackal

Jackal is a guardsman of the Old Camp who patrols the outer ring from the market to the south gate and collects protection money there - 10 ore per newcomer, a far gentler approach than Bloodwyn's at the north side or Fletcher's arena patrol. He lets newcomers settle in before asking for the tithe, intervenes in disputes on the paying customer's side, and steps back when two payers cross swords to let them sort it out themselves. When the Old Mine collapses, Gomez puts him at the head of the guards, Shadows and diggers that storm the Free Mine and take it by force. Jackal falls there shortly afterwards when Gorn and the hero fight their way back in to retake the mine.
