{{QuoteBox|width = 30em|quote = A battered, headless corpse was thrown from the shadows. Spike and Lukas stepped back hastily as the gruesome body landed at their feet. The two men gaped with horror at the sight before them. They saw the familiar snake tattoo on the well-muscled arm. It was Sliding Jak, or what was left of him.}}

'''Sliding Jak''' was an outlaw in [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive Primus]] who worked for the crimelord [[Balthazar Van Zep]]. Well built and tattooed, Jak may have belonged to [[House Delaque]] (having a snake tattoo on his arm), but he is remembered for giving Van Zep a list of names under torture – "Sliding Jak's list" – which assassin [[Lothar Hex]], the Widowmaker, was given in order to kill all Van Zep's traitors and their associates; the killings led to civil unrest and fear throughout [[Down Town]] and culminated in the death of the settlement's most feared gang leader: [[Gideon Drexlar]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2}}
