Lantern Jack

The ghostly guardian of Lantern Hill dates back to the Revolutionary War in Freedom City. Stories claim Lantern Jack is the restless spirit of a colonial patriot slain by a British officer when he attempted to warn the people of the city of an attack.
The truth is John Halloran betrayed the rebels secretly meeting in the Emerald Dragon tavern to the British. He regretted his actions when he found they planned to murder, not imprison, the rebels and anyone else in the tavern. John tried to warn them and stop the redcoats, but was killed for his trouble. The fate of his soul hanging in the balance, John Halloran’s final good deed did not outweigh his sins. Given a chance to redeem himself and prove himself worthy, John accepted the charge of meting out vengeance, justice, and truth against the evils of the world.
Many times over the past two centuries, people on Lantern Hill have seen a dark, mysterious figure wearing a tricorne and long cloak, face masked in shadow despite carrying a glowing lantern. The spectral figure only leaves Lantern Hill in times of great crisis or to battle unearthly evils loose in the world.
The light of his lantern changes, depending on what Lantern Jack seeks—it burns blue with the light of truth, burning away all guises and pretenses; it burns violet with the light of vengeance, its flames punishing to the guilty; and it burns green with the light of justice, igniting honesty and setting things right. The lantern’s light can seem harsh at times, and many find Lantern Jack’s presence disturbing at best. But the people on Lantern Hill sleep well knowing an ever-vigilant protector watches over them.
