| Samurai Jack is the son of the Japanese lord who ruled the area where Aku originally appeared on Earth, and is banished to the future by Aku during their first battle, where he is left in every episode to search for a way home. He was born on the day that his father defeated Aku and he seems to be the only mortal (aside from his father) to be a match to Aku.
Aku,is the Samurai Jack's main antagonist. His name means "evil" or "wickedness" in the Japanese language. He is similar to Akuma, the evil demon with burning eyes from Japanese mythology (which may also be another source for his name) like a tallest devil. He is an extremely powerful wizard whose primary ability is shape-shifting, though he possesses many other powers such as laser eye beams, fire breath, summoning storms, creating objects out of nothing, telekinesis, fire generation, sonic screams, time portals, and teleportation. He requires no food, water, or air and he is capable of interstellar travel. He also has the ability to spy on Jack from a large sphere he can summon at will in his tower. A significant aspect of the series is that Aku is immortal, and he can only be harmed and finally defeated by Jack's samurai sword.
The Scotsman: Only known as the "Scotsman" he is the only one of two characters to appear in 3 episodes- "Jack and the Scotsman", "Jack and the Scotsman II" and "The Scotsman saves Jack"(This is a 2 part episode). When he first meets Jack (Jack and the Scotsman), he makes fun of Jack, calling him various names and insults. He even makes fun of Jack's sword, calling it a butter knife.
Jack's father: Jack's father appears in 3 episodes "The Beginning", "Jack Remembers the Past", and "The Birth Of Evil". He is overall just an older version of Jack; He's brave, humble, and polite.
