Jack-Be-Lucky is part of the group of the brotherhood who escort Arya Stark to Beric, now the outlaw lightning lord after the death of King Robert I Baratheon.[1] He blows his hunting horn when they arrive at a seemingly-abandoned village friendly to the outlaws,[1] as well as at the village of the Lady of the Leaves.[7] Jack explains that Lannisters have killed his brothers Lennocks and Lister.[7][2] At Stoney Sept he flirts with Bella at the Peach.[9]
During the battle at the burning septry, Jack finds Utt hiding under cellar steps, and the murderous septon is then hanged.[6] Jack has no luck playing dice with Anguy, and he approves of Beric knighting Gendry.[6]
When Merrett Frey is taken by the brotherhood after the Red Wedding, one-eyed Jack and Lem both claim to be Beric before Tom of Sevenstreams states that Beric is elsewhere. Jack helps in the hanging of Merrett at Oldstones for his involvement in the death of Robb Stark.[4]

[edit]Jack is part of Lady Stoneheart's band of outlaws[10] after the passing of Beric. Jack encourages the hangings of Brienne of Tarth, Ser Hyle Hunt, and Podrick Payne as retribution for Lord Randyll Tarly's hanging of a score of the outlaws.[11]
Quotes by Jack
[edit]Lem: The lightning lord's not so easy to kill. Ser Gregor might have put his eye out, but a man don't die o' that. Jack could tell you.
Jack: Well, I never did. My father got himself good and hanged by Lord Piper's bailiff, my brother Wat got sent to the Wall, and the Lannisters killed my other brothers. An eye, that's nothing.[7]—Lem and Jack
The crows await us all. M'lord, the boy seems brave enough, and we do have need of what he brings us. Take him, says Jack.[6]
—Jack to Beric Dondarrion
Jack: You ought t'have bought some land and made one o' them roast swan girls an honest woman. Raised yourself a crop o' turnips and a crop o' sons.
Sandor: Warrior defend me! What a waste that would have been, to turn my gold to turnips.
Jack: I like turnips. I could do with some mashed turnips right now.[6]—Jack and Sandor Clegane
Merrett: Please. I've done you no harm. I brought the gold, the way you said. I answered your question. I have children.
Jack: That Young Wolf never will.[4]—Merrett Frey and Jack
Jeyne: Guest right don't mean so much as it used to. Not since m'lady come back from the wedding. Some o' them swinging down by the river figured they was guests too.
Lem: We figured different. They wanted beds. We gave 'em trees.
Jack: We got more trees, though. We always got more trees.[11]
Jack: The Kingslayer's whore.
Brienne: Why would you call me that?
Jack: If I had a silver stag for every time you said his name, I'd be as rich as your friends the Lannisters.[11]—Jack and Brienne of Tarth
