Deathmask

Jacob Nakai sought to escape the poverty of Indian reservation life by utilizing the magic learned from his shaman grandfather to transform himself into a renowned and mystifying stage magician. While playing Las Vegas, Nakai had been approached by Adonis DuLac, global crime kingpin. Dulac insisted that Jacob perform at a private function. Naively believing that his destiny was his own choice to make, Nakai refused. Insulted, DuLac then sought to make an example of the popular performer by sabotaging his signature illusion: an escape from a glass coffin submerged in acid. Jacob survives the attempt on his life, but with a soul as hideously scarred as his recently-ruined face.
