Anyone Know this?

I was chatting with my friend today and neither of us could guess what Jack of Blades looks like under his mask... My guess was that he has no face and that the mask acts as his face.

 

[Arseface]

Jack is the mask, so to say "Jack of Blades without his mask on" is kind of self defeating.

 

[Necromancer]

This is what he looks like without the mask:

Spoiler

But seriously, as Arseface said, Jack is the mask. There's nothing behind it.

 

[Arseface]

Well, there's a human face behind it, it's just not Jack.

 

[Necromancer]

Hmm...intriguing. How do you figure?

 

[Arseface]

Because the mask just steals peoples bodies, does it not?

 

[Necromancer]

Well yes, of course, but I didn't think that was the only way it could keep Jack alive and well. There hasn't really been any confirmation on how his mask works in that regard, and there was no parts of a face visible in his cranial region. There's only darkness between his mask and the inside of his hood, so I assumed there wasn't anything there.

 

[Arseface]

If you take the mask at the end of TLC, then you get a journal entry saying something like, "So this puny hero had a journal? How amusing." Seems to imply that that's how he gets around anyway.

And I just assumed that was Lionhead's classic laziness.

 

[Necromancer]

Well, the darkness around his mask and the lack of confirmation just makes me think that there's probably nothing under there, but it's fairly open ended.

 

[Arseface]

Could be, but when you think about it, this conversation is pretty meaningless.

Well I think they made the hood's interior black simply to make him look scarier, there's definately a body under there(or perhaps he's a skeleton and acts in a way Nostro does? If he is, you would be unable to see his neck and no hair would be visible.). His mask acts as his way to continue living, not as a way of transfering from one place to another. It just helps him be unable to die, and his soul then possesses the body thats wearing it, kinda like a demonic possession. It's the old persons body but a different being is operating it. Then that body does in fact become Jack, not JUST his mask. If he operated inside his mask then it would be more like Lord Voldemourt from Harry Potter. In the first movie/book Voldemourt's soul is attached to another person but the other individual still controls his body.
