Character Introduction

Edit
The "Mist Murderer" who shocked 19th-century Britain. He appears as an elderly gentleman of the noble class, wearing a monocle on his right eye, and calls himself a gentleman. Brunhilde harshly criticizes him as "the worst of the worst scumbags among humanity," yet gods also highly regard Jack's malice and madness, which they find terrifying. Brunhilde had decided from the start that Jack would be Hercules' opponent. He enjoys tea and often quotes from Shakespeare's works.
He has heterochromia with different colored eyes and can discern the emotions of those he sees with his right eye by various colors. He proudly claims this ability as "the only gift God gave me to survive amidst malice."
He sets various traps around the streets of London, his chosen battlefield, using knives as projectiles, pistols with anchors attached by strings, and uses piano wires strung across the city for three-dimensional movement. He deceives even Hercules and other gods with his cunning fighting style and various setups. His own combat skills are also high, deflecting Hercules' attacks with an umbrella and freely altering the trajectory of the knives he throws.
At the start of the match, he claims a giant pair of gold scissors, which can also be used as a one-handed sword, as a divine weapon. After the scissors are destroyed, he claims the two bags he wears on his hips, which can create divine weapons, are divine weapons. However, the true divine weapons are the gloves on both hands, which can turn anything they touch, like rubble, buildings, or blood, into divine weapons. He deceived others by making objects from the bags into divine weapons by touching them with the gloves, making them believe the bags were the divine weapons.
He was born to a prostitute mother and grew up in a brothel. Despite the harsh environment, he enjoyed seeing the pure and beautiful colors of his mother's emotions with his right eye. He lived happily in the brothel despite the poverty, but learned that his mother had only given birth to him for a relationship with a man who might be his father, and that the love he thought was directed at him was not real. When he strangled his mother to save her from her sorrow, he found the color of "fear" beautiful and, in a moment, stabbed her with a knife, pushing aside other emotions and focusing on the color of fear. After killing his mother and the man who might be his father that night, he disappeared into the crowd. Since then, he has been killing many people solely to create the beauty of the color of "fear" at the moment of death, which he considers his own artistic creation.
In Ragnarok, excited to kill gods instead of humans, he looks forward to seeing what the color of a god's emotions looks like at the moment of death. During the fierce battle with Hercules, he learns from Hercules' emotions that his mother's love was fake and discovers the beauty of true, genuine love. He tries to dye Hercules in his preferred color and, despite being severely wounded, wins the battle but acknowledges his defeat before the unchanging heart of Hercules. After witnessing Hercules' disappearance, he realizes he is feeling an "unknown emotion" for the first time, which Fleck tells him is sorrow, and leaves the arena in a battered state, wishing he could meet Hercules again.
After the victory, he receives medical treatment and intervenes in the commotion involving Göll and the Seven Lucky Gods by offering tea, helping Göll. When he hears from Göll that they are called the Seven Lucky Gods, he notices something with his right eye. Feeling Göll's kindness towards his wounded self, he senses a resemblance to Hercules in Göll. Later, he watches Ragnarok with Fleck.
In a side story, it is revealed that he was actually "Anonymous" and had been called by various names, and the name Jack the Ripper and the murders of prostitutes were actually committed by another man he had killed. When Brunhilde asked him what name he would use to participate in Ragnarok, he chose the name Jack the Ripper himself. He chose the name Jack the Ripper because he thought the name of a murderer of prostitutes suited him, having killed his own mother, who was a prostitute.
