Jackdaw is a fictional character featured in Marvel Comics publications.

Fictional character biography

A now-deceased hero, the sidekick of Captain Britain. Jackdaw was an Otherworld elf. Jackdaw had been mortally wounded earlier in his adventures, but was revivied by Merlin and given new powers and a new costume.

He was permanently slain later on Earth-238 by The Fury. Jackdaw was literally torn in half by one of the Fury's energy bolts and expired shortly thereafter in Captain Britain's arms. Jackdaw expressed a believe that Merlyn would resurrect him. Saturnyne had abandoned them (and her assistant Dimples, who loved her deeply) to escape. Merlin did not resurrect Jackdaw as it would have damaged his chances of rescuing Captain Britain, who was killed as well by the Fury after Dimples and Jackdaw, and resurrected by Merlyn back on Earth-616.
