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.

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.
