Jabber Wock

About
Jabber Wock was once the premiere chef of the Kingdom of Humpty, often preparing dishes for Queen Queenbelle herself. His prestige placed him in charge of Humpty's most important crop, the sugarcubes, in the Ruin of Eve more commonly known as the Sugarcube Factory. Unfortunately for the people of Humpty and the world, Jabber was also a member of the Snake Crest.

Having murdered his mother earlier in life, Jabber took to practicing cannibalism, a practice Aster believes may have manifested and engorged in an effort to mask Jabber's guilt over this first murder. Now convinced that human meat was the height of cuisine, Jabber began his efforts to convince the rest of the world of the same. The Snake Crest helped him towards this goal in return for monster-training facilities that were designed to reduce monsters to their base desires (often including cannibalism) so that they could be used as ingredients for the Snake Crest's production of Adan's Blood.

Jabber was finally cornered at a cooking contest judged by Queenbelle herself. When Aster and his family managed to save Queenbelle from her Adan's Blood addiction, Jabber transformed into a monster, the Jabberwock, to defend himself, but was ultimately killed. His body was then spirited away by Seydes to be drained of its profound gluttony.

Jabber's spirit later appeared in the Archfiend's Right Arm as the Gluttonous Shadow, where it was defeated by Aster and Kathryn Lapucelle.

Personality and Appearance
Like most of those chosen by Seydes to become high-level administrators for the Snake Crest, Jabber was overwhelmingly concerned with one key human desire, in his case gluttony. Jabber's love of food carried well and beyond the usual degree expected by a chef and into his obsession with cannibalism. He also demonstrated a chef's patience, willing to wait an especially long time to gain full control over Queenbelle, allowing him to keep cool during the loss of the Sugarcube Factory where his predecessors had turned to their monster forms at the first sign of overwhelming armed resistance.

As a human, Jabber dressed in his chef's uniform at all times, even in secret meetings with the Snake Crest, and had long blue hair. As the Jabberwock and Gluttonous Shadow however, he became an engorged, bulbous humanoid figure, too large for any clothing.

Abilities
Jabber was perhaps the greatest chef to ever live in the World of Eve, though his secret use of Adan's Blood may have inflated his reputation somewhat. He was also gifted with strong administrative techniques, enough to both run the Sugarcube Factory, his monster-training facility, and to hide the latter at the same time. His actual training abilities are arguably good, but his techniques verge so closely on torture that his skills may lie there, instead.

As the Jabberwock, Jabber gained the ability to eat a human being whole to regain his own health, and to even snatch up that person from enemy lines. He retained this power as the Gluttonous Shadow, and gained the power to project an aura of gluttony, preventing anyone who was gluttonous from coming near him.

Trivia

 * Jabber is named for the Jabberwock, a fictional beast from Lewis Carroll's "The Jabberwocky."
 * Jabber is the only member of the Snake Crest (besides the Black and White Knights) to actually change his name while transformed, albeit only to remove the space between his first and last names.
 * The Gluttonous Shadow is the only one of the Shadows (and possibly the only character overall) that does not use a version of the original character's "Basic" (基本) face sprite as its default expression. The Gluttonous Shadow uses Jabber's "True Face" ( 本性 ) sprite as a default instead. The Shadow's "Basic" expression only appears on its portrait.
