Brief Description on Personality: Jackie Estacado is a hitman for the mob who has inherited this awesome power, and the dangers that go with it. Used to life in the fast lane (fast cars, faster women), Jackie has to adapt to no longer having sex. This in itself is enough to drive a man like Jackie over the edge but that isn’t his only problem. Even though he can wield The Darkness to create anything he can imagine it does not come without a few limitations. First, anything he creates is destroyed by the touch of daylight. This makes him powerless outside the shadows. Second, this power has two powerful and ancient enemies: the Witchblade; and The Angelus.
History/Background Information: Jackie Estacado has had a rough life. Orphaned as an infant, his early years were spent in an orphanage from which he was adopted by Frankie Francetti, head of the Franchetti family mob. Frankie brought Jackie up to be one of the best leg breakers, and eventually the best assassin, that the Francetti family had ever had. Jackie also became quite the play boy - lots of money, fast cars, nice clothes, and easy women. Then, on his 21st birthday, Jackie received his fathers legacy.
The legacy was the 'The Darkness', an ancient demonic ability transferred from father to child at the moment of conception. This newfound ability gave him virtually unlimited power, in the dark. He's basically been given the ultimate weapon for his type of business. He can create anything he can imagine as long as he has knowledge of it. But demonic power comes with a price.
On his 21st birthday, the night the power exhibited itself for the first time, Jackie was attacked by soldiers of 'The Angelus', the Darkness' oldest enemy. He allows the Darkness to defend him, but in the ensuing battle, his apartment is left a bloody mess.
Now, for some this might be a bad thing; at first Jackie is rather thrilled with his new abilities. It makes him that much more dangerous, and that much harder to stop, especially when the man who took him in and has been like a surrogate father to him is attacked and injured by a rival 'family'. Using the Darkness, Jackie seeks revenge against the gang, and is brought against his next group of enemies, The Brotherhood of Darkness, which wants simply to use Jackie and The Darkness to bring them power and to achieve dominion over the world. Seems they have been planning this for hundreds of years, and Jackie is nothing more then a vessel for them. They have, in fact been grooming him since childhood for this very purpose. Of course, you don't create a man like Jackie and then expect him to just give over control of who he is to the first megalomaniac that walks in the room.
Jackie fights both the Angelus and The Brotherhood, defeating them in a massive battle under the Statue of Liberty, and while doing so learns that what we see in ourselves is not always what others see, and that who we really are can sometimes be even more frightening then who we want to be. Estacado's life is further complicated by the fact that he no longer gets to have the most beautiful women. In fact, he can't even have the most ugly of them either. See, if Jackie ever gets a woman pregnant, he dies that instant. Talk about birth control, huh?
