Jack Segal

Jack Segal is the head of the Olympus settlement on Mars during the events of Martian Dreams.

A slick-looking gentleman with shifty eyes, Segal was friendly towards the Avatar, but gave the hero a distinct impression of insincere martyrdom. Considering himself the caretaker of all the people in Olympus, he had a high level of distrust towards anyone who had used the martian Dream Machines, having disabled the device they discovered in their own settlement. Referring to himself and the Avatar as "men of education," he tried to dissuade the hero from unnecessarily endangering himself or the colony. He also told the Avatar where to find Hellas and "Crazy Marcus," whom he had expelled from Olympus once he had deemed him insane. Jack Segal further tried to organize the citizens of Olympus to continue the construction of the Space Cannon.

Once the Avatar had done some investigating, he returned to Segal, who was convinced the hero had to face down Rasputin (Raxachk) in order to retrieve the supply of phlogistonite he'd stolen, so that the humans could leave the red planet. After the Avatar had managed to create a human form for the Martian Chsheket, Jack Segal agreed to help the alien race by creating multiple forms to house the remaining aliens still trapped in the Dream World.

Trivia

 * Segal is clearly another attempt at inserting the Seggallion character into the Ultima series, although he is clearly not the same person.
