Description: Jack Cadillac is the leader of the ÔOld Blood MechanicsÕ, the group that kept the machine going during the long night that the tribe spent in the tombs. Based in the garage, a large fortress across from the city, he controls and maintains the tribeÕs vehicles. In fact he would rather be working on one of his cars than anything else.

A strong proponent of Machinatio Vitae, Jack has for many years worked tirelessly to stop poaching and this has made him many enemies. And despite his usefulness, these beliefs also make him unpopular with the council of governors. Too often though he is too pig-headed to notice until it is too late.
