Reverend Jack Hardcastle

The Reverend Jack Hardcastle is a human War Domain cleric of Tyr and member of the Best Friends Club. He is played by Richard Soames.

Appearance
Jack is a human caucasian bearing an uncanny resemblance to Jason Statham. He carries the Shield of Heroes (a magic item of considerable power that may or may not get drastically redesigned if Marvel make a complaint), as well as a never used Immoveable Rod. His preferred weapon is a Warhammer.

He normally wears an eyepatch but often forgets which eye it should be on because both are fine and the eyepatch is just part of his disguise.

Personality
Jack is a dour realist, ready to write a report on anyone due to his staunch dedication to justice and almost no sense of humour.

Background
Jack was a city guardsman in Baldur's Gate but was framed by the evil Redlocks gang, sacked in disgrace and they attempted to murder him. He escaped, assuming his current identity and class and fleeing his home town.

Ravensholm Season One
Jack is a straight-laced ex-cop with no sense of humour. He finds it hard to cope with the chaotic nature of "certain" members of the BFC, often not seeing the "funny side". He became mentor to The Amazing Claire affectionately calling her "Rookie".

He often loses control of his bowels and famously once did so on a goose.

While escaping from Avernus, Jack revealed the "Reverend Jack Hardcore" was not his real name, the betrayal of trust caused a significant rift between him and Claire.

Ravensholm Season Two
Jack has continued season two much as he left season one. He now has a magical tattoo of his spirit animal which allows him to transform into a goose similar to the polymorph spell.

Having been split from the BFC in the sewers of Sigil, Jack met an unflappable knitting OAP called Olga and had to fight his evil alter-ego Leiutenant Jake Hateclaw to escape, bringing Olga with him

The Amazing Claire
Claire initially irritated the Rev due to her joining in with Phillin's antics, and her willingness to forgo rewards in exchange for story rights.

During the parties travel across the Planes she took an interest in his style of detective work and started to (somewhat successfully) emulate his methods. This also irritated the Rev at first, but she eventually won him around, with him proudly calling her "Rookie".

There were some hints of romantic interest between the two of them, but this may have been ruined when Claire revealed that she is the daughter of The Redlock family.
