Nickname: N/A

Favorite units:

The Jackal is the Wolf’s mysterious ally from the Middle-East. He is a very large, muscular man who wears a helmet in the shape of a jackal’s head at all times. The Jackal is a rational and objective oriented man, as such he has little interest in Wolf’s personal vendetta. During the early stages of the war he successfully destroys the armies of Lord Longarm, the Boy and the king, even taking the later two’s castles. Later he meets his match in the Boy’s new army and is incapable of inflicting a decisive defeat on him. This eventually leads to a falling out with the Wolf as he becomes convinced his master is weakened by personal feelings. Departing the land, the Jackal swears to return with another army and conquer the land, independent of who rules it at that moment.

The Jackal is encountered the most out all opponents during the military campaign. As such his forces range from armed peasants, men-at-arms, archers and catapults in the earlier missions to higher quality units such as macemen, pikemen, swordsmen, crossbowsmen, battering rams and trebuchets during later on.
