Jackal (Fist of the North Star)

Jackal is a minor antagonist in the Fist of the North Star series. He leads a bandit gang, named the Warriors in the anime.

He is first introduced as a bar patron who learns about quantities of water. Jackal watches Taki and Auntie Toyo's village for his gang to reach the village and steal the water. When Kenshiro leaves, Jackal begins the raid and prepares to use the village and well as a base. Although Toyo injures his face with her rifle, he shows resistance and threatens to blow up everyone around her if she does not comply. When Kenshiro arrives to save the village, Jackal sends his boxer Scorpio out. Jackal then leaves having killed Toyo.

Later on, Jackal is informed by one of his men that Kenshiro will be coming for him, before the goon is killed via Hokuto Shinken. On his way to Villainy Prison, where he was once held, Jackal finds his usual bartender is rejecting giving him free water, as the bartender received the lifeless body of Jackal's top goon, Fox within the bar. Angry, Jackal kills the bartender, then his gang tries to kill him hoping to appeal to the Hokuto Shinken user. However, Jackal eludes death, and soon escapes to Villainy Prison.

It is here that Jackal planned to released a fearsome convict; Devil Rebirth, the demonic user of Rakan Nioken who had killed 700 lives who tried to execute him 13 times but sentenced the demon to 500 years in jail. After freeing the demon, Jackal convinces Devil he is his long lost brother using a stolen picture of the demon's mother. Kenshiro follows afterword, and eventually defeats the monster. Held in place by Devil Rebirth, he tries to get Kenshiro to free him, but Kenshiro lights the villain's own dynamite and blows him and Devil Rebirth up.

In the anime, he receives his instructions from Shin's top henchman Joker.
