Jackson Ward (1923 - 1963) was a mortal serial killer executed at Alcatraz, leaving his spirit trapped on the island. His unfinished business was that he desired revenge against the people that trialed and convicted him.
History
To escape from Alcatraz, a soul collector aided him by explaining that Jackson needed to find a body that he could possess. In 1999, Jackson decided to take possession over a tour guide, though he was spotted by Phoebe Halliwell, was visiting the prison with a friend.
Jackson successfully escaped the island and sought his revenge on the people responsible for sentencing him. When Jackson murdered the presiding judge, he unknowingly left an ectoplasmic finger print on the weapon. Jackson tried to kill others, but Prue and Phoebe intervened with a spell and lured him to the manor, where Prue ultimately vanquished him.
