"'For the giant slayer!' ... He's saying it for himself. He's a narcissist." ― Brennan Lee Mulligan, GM, about Jack, the Giant-Slayer
Jack the Giant Killer is a version of Jack, Mother Timothy Goose's son, in the Twice Upon a Time. In this world, he is not Henry and Timothy's son. He is a tiny human who is known as a killer of giants, which, in reality, are normal sized people.

Description[]
Jack is a tiny person in comparison to the Intrepid Heroes with the eyes of his other world father, Henry Hubbard. He is very self-absorbed, and his quest for getting golden eggs seems to be rather self-sabaotaging. It seems he was stitched into the present world from a different Once Upon a Time.
Background[]
In this story, Jack caused a massive beanstalk to sprout using magic beans. He climbed it above the clouds, and found the home of a giant. After stealing some of their possession, the giant came after him. Jack ended up killing the giant by cutting down the beanstalk as the giant was still climbing it.
History[]
In the Land of Giants[]
When Destiny's Children arrive in the Land of Giants, they are mistaken for giants intending to destroy the city. Jack is the self-proclaimed leader of the battle. When Timothy Goose tells him that Jack is, in fact, his son in another story, Jack feels that Tim is mocking him, and promptly attacks him. As the battle progresses, he realizes the battle is not going in his way. He then orders the beanstalk to be burned. Jack then confronts Tim again, confessing that he did everything to make everyone happy, and so that people wouldn't think he was a fool. Tim tries to get Jack to understand just how important Jack is to him, and almost makes his final wish with the Gander in order to do so. Instead, he just leaves Jack, and rejoins his party.
Relationships[]
Henry Hubbard[]
During the battle, Jack reveals to Timothy Goose that he is the "second giant" who came there claiming to be Jack's father. Tim immediately realizes that his husband, Henry, must also be there in the Land of Giants. Henry later explains that aportion of a story was added to the portion of the Neverafter the group was currently in, with the Henry being put in a world with the most dangerous version Jack that could be found. In that story, Jack kidnaps Henry, which is what happened.
Mother Timothy Goose[]
While Timothy knows he's not the father of this version of Jack, he looks exactly like his son. It really hurts him knowing that a) this isn't really his son, and b) that, in his quest to get the golden eggs (something Tim's Jack wanted to do as well) ultimately destroyed him as a person. However, Tim realizes there is a hope reflected in Jack's eyes that Tim's husband, Henry, had been there searching as well, something Jack confirms. In an attempt to get Jack to understand his importance to Tim, he almost makes his final wish with the Gander in order to do so. Instead, he just leaves Jack, and rejoins his party with the sorrow of knowing he would have been able to reach Jack if he had done so.
Trivia[]
