Shin Megami Tensei:
Strange Journey Redux
A serial killer who terrorized London in the 19th century. He killed prostitue after prostitute in the slums of London, then mutilated their bodies. The media was quick to cover the murders, and the case was the talk of the town. Scotland Yard came up with a few suspects after a thorough investigation, but the case went unsolved. This unusual case still piques the imagination today, with aspiring detectives coming up with their own theories. Whether or not this Jack is the culprit still remains a mystery. Perhaps the image of the murderer conjured up this demon.
