Archagent Jack Noir, as he is known in most versions of SDUND,[note 1] is the third most powerful carapacian in the Dersite Kingdom. He has a tendency to stab first and ask questions later. Noir has a kismesissitude with the Black Queen.[note 2] Notes DMs should feel free to swap this name with whatever they choose (ie. Spades Slick or some other new name). However, even in the Trolls' session, he normally starts out just as "Jack Noir". The two hate each other, but they are also very attracted to one another (and act out both of those feelings).

Hegemonic Brute

Large humanoid (Carapacian), neutral evil Armor Class 12 Hit Points 57 (6d10 + 24) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 17 (+3) 15 (+2) 18 (+4) 8 (-1) 15 (+2) 10 (+0) Skills History +1, Intimidation +2, Perception +4 Senses passive Perception 14 Languages understands Common but can't speak Challenge 2 (450 XP) Chess People. Hegemonic Brute has advantage on Intelligence (History) checks and can take the Disengage or Help action as a bonus action on each of his turns. Labyrinthe Recall. The carapacian can perfectly recall any path it has traveled. Boxcars. When Hegemonic Brute hits an opponent using his fist, he deals an additional 2d6 force damage (included in the attack). ACTIONS Battleaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) slashing damage or 25 (3d10 + 6) slashing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack. Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (3d4 + 6) bludgeoning damage, plus 7 (2d6) force damage.

Hegemonic Brute is the strongest of the Midnight Crew,[note 1] and he always rolls Boxcars.[note 2] Notes Including Jack Noir on a physical level. Despite being rated as a CR 2 encounter, HB is the definitive toughest vanilla carpacian encounter due to his strength alone. However, at 60 HP and 12 AC, he'll go down fast in the right circumstances.
