BLACKJACK'S RAIDERS HISTORY "Black Jack," the founder of BlackJack's Raiders, got his start as a humble miner - with a shady past. Still, like so many in Gomorra he was attempting a clean start when he made a strike that promised gold and ghostrock. Soon after he'd registered his strike, he was paid a visit by goons hired by the Sweetrock Mining Company. He killed three in a hail of bullets, and let the rest run for their lives. Since then, Jackson P. Jackson has adopted the name 'Black Jack,' and leads a merry band of outlaws, thieves, and brigands. Black Jack's crew focuses largely on raiding Sweetrock mines and making life for them genuinely as unpleasant as possible. Blackjack's Raiders may not rob from the rich and give to the poor, but the independent miners give them a begrudging respect; Sweetrock's a little more cautious about its claimjumping than it once was. Black Jack himself has no personal grudge against the Law Dogs - but he knows the hand that feeds the Dogs also holds their leash. He has enough respect for them that he tries to avoid killing them unless backed into a corner - but he hasn't found a corner he can't fight his way out of, yet. As Sweetrock's greed escalated, so too did Black Jack's popularity. His gang, mostly career outlaw, don't share his ideals. But they're happy to play by his rules, and the living they've made off Sweetrock robberies has convinced them to heed Black Jack's leadership.
