He
first appeared in Enthrallment,
working for Carly O'Reilly as her sous-chef de cuisine (under-chef of the kitchen) at Harbor View Catering (HVC). Jack was smooth, self-confidant
and as unruffled as a tranquil lake. He was tall (6'5"), with black hair,
dark eyes, olive-tinted skin, and thin yet somehow still sensuous lips. He drove
a black 1968 Corvette C3, given to him by older brother Antonio.
Jacopo
(Jack) Sansovino was born on May 12, 1967 in Little Italy, Manhattan, New York.
His mother Adelina named him after Jacopo d'Antonio Sansovino, an Italian
sculptor and architect known best for his works around the Piazza San Marco in
Venice. Jack had one older brother, Antonio (Tony, 1964), and one younger
sister, Desideria (Désirée, 1971). Their father Mario owned Sansovino's Restaurant & Italian Market
on Spring Street in Little Italy. The family home was contained in an apartment
above the restaurant and market.
Jack
worked in the family restaurant as a teenager, but left to find his own way
after Mario decided to eventually give the family business to his oldest son.
Jack moved to Larkin City to attend Larkin City University's Chefs Program, where
he also got a job at Harbor View Catering in 1989. HVC was owned by Carly
O'Reilly, Liam Larkin's wife.
Jack
had a problem with gambling. He frequented the Showboat Casino in Atlantic
City, and later the Hollywood Slots at Bangor Raceway (Racino), where he played slot machines, table game roulette, and
placed bets on live harness racing.
In
December 1990, Jack attends the HVC Christmas party. He spikes Carly's drink
with Flunitrazepam (aka roofie,
date-rape drug) and then takes her to his flat on King Street, where he rapes
her. He also allows several of his "buddies" to take turns with her.
The "buddies" are actually bookies and loan sharks to whom Jack owes
money. He permits them to rape Carly repeatedly in order to erase his gambling
debts to them. Because Flunitrazepam
impairs memory, Jack dresses Carly after the gang-rape and puts her back in her
car, which he then parks a short distance from the Larkin mansion.
Carly
is not certain about what Jack has done to her. Because she has no vivid memory
or concrete proof of what happened, she does not confront him. He never
mentions the night she came to his flat, nor does she question him about it.
Their working relationship remains the same. After Carly commits suicide in
September 1995, Jack continues to work at HVC for another six months, but then
takes a job as Executive Chef at the Amber Whale Tavern.
In
Hearts Desires (coming in 2013), Jack sees Jamie Page having lunch at the Amber
Whale. They begin a friendly conversation that soon leads to a dinner date. Despite
his penchant for forceful rape, Jack is not known to interact with men.
However, after meeting Jamie and understanding his relation to the Larkin
family, he decides to plunge into a full-blown sexual relationship with Jamie.
Jack is more interested in the wealth of his new lover, hoping it will benefit
him somehow.
Jack
rapes and beats Jamie one night after a drunken argument, forcing him to flee
the country. Jack's reign of terror didn't end there, however. In Megan's Legacy (coming in late 2013), Jack returns to Larkin City to demand money from
his sister Désirée.
Instead, Jack finds his own swift justice from where he least expects it.
