Ghost Jackal

Damien Darkmore

Inventor and mentalist, Damien Darkmore is one of the more resourceful and dangerous members of the Crypt Carnival.

After having taken the blame for a catastrophic accident at STAR Labs that wasn't his doing, Damien found himself forced to take a life of crime to survive. There he discovered a latent talent at mental illusions which, when combined with his knack for invention, earned him the respect of his carnival teammates.

History

Hard-working with a sharp mind, Damien Darkmore was a mechanical engineer working at the Metropolis branch of STAR Labs as an intern in college, then briefly as a full time employee. Considered an up and coming engineer, he was groomed for promotion into STAR Labs Special Project's division.

Until the volunteer subject calling himself "Thunderstrike", known to STAR Labs as Volunteer Subject Gamma 12, exploded four generators and smashed his way out of the lab. It wouldn't have been a problem for Damien, if only Subject Gamma 12 hadn't used Damien's remote observation drones to help evade security... therefore assisting Subject Gamma 12's explosive escape.

Damien was fired immediately, being blamed for the accident. His reputation tarnished by his former employer to the point that he could no longer find work.

Desperate, he contacted a relative with a local acrobatic circus who put him in touch with the Crypt Carnival. Damien impressed The Ringmaster with his knack for invention. He was hired by the carnival. Still torn by the events at STAR Labs, Damien threw himself into the job.

Intense training with his own sharp mind paid off. Soon he earned the right to take on a "stage name" as per Crypt Carnival rules. Given his mild natural talent at mental illusions combined with gadgetry and ambush tactics, Ghost Jackal was born.
