Fictional character biography
Werner von Strucker is the oldest son of Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and the half-brother of twins Andrea and Andreas von Strucker.
Werner briefly takes over HYDRA during one of his father’s supposed deaths. Later Wolfgang returns from the dead via the death spore virus. Werner uses his influence to try to gain part of the territory of the Kingpin after he fell from power. The conference that would divide up the Kingpin’s territory is set in Las Vegas.
At first, Wener’s forces detain two spies, who were in reality Microchip and Mickey Fondozzi, two associates of the Punisher. They claim to be Four and Eight, members of the organization called the Secret Empire, one of Werner’s fellow conference attendees. Werner did not want to risk a rift with the Empire, he thus declines to kill them. Via a spy, the Empire learns of the two prisoners. Coincidentally, the real Four and Eight had not shown up for the Kingpin division meeting. The Secret Empire became convinced Four and Eight had turned traitor. They send Chainsaw and his Praetorians, a motorcycle gang, to attack the entire group.
Werner survives the attack. He attends a later meeting of the criminal originzations, assisted by a brown-haired man. This assistant is really is father, Baron Von Strucker. The meeting descends into violence, part of it resulting from Werner’s siblings not believing he was a descendent from the Baron. After the meeting breaks up, the Baron slays Werner via the Death Spore virus and steps into power once again.
Werner’s corpse is found by a super-powered vigilante named ‘Terror’. The vigilante steals one of Werner’s eyes in order to gain information about the recent criminal meetings.

The fantasia (from Italian: fantasia; also English: fantasy, fancy, German: Fantasie, French: fantaisie) is a musical composition with its roots in the art of improvisation. Because of this, it seldom approximates the textbook rules of any strict musical form (as with the impromptu).
In the Baroque and Classical music eras, a fantasia was typically a piece for keyboard instruments with alternating sections of rapid passagework and slower, more melodic passages. From the Baroque period, J. S. Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue, BWV 903, for harpsichord; Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542, for organ; and Fantasia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 537, for organ are examples. For an example from the Classical period, see Mozart’s Fantasia in D minor, K. 397 for fortepiano. In contemporary music, Busoni’s Fantasia Contrappuntistica or Corigliano’s Fantasia on an ostinato are examples of a fantasia.
The term also referred in the Baroque era (more specifically British Tudor music) to pieces for viols, characteristically- though not always- alternating, in this case rapid fugal sections with slower sections in slow notes and sometimes clashing harmonies. According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary of Music’s entry the instrumental fantasia was closely related in its history and form to the motet. Henry Purcell’s fantasias are the last Baroque representatives of the breed, although Walter Willson Cobbett, in the opening decades of the 20th century, attempted to resurrect something of this style via a competition, to which works like John Ireland’s and Frank Bridge’s phantasie-trios, Benjamin Britten’s phantasie-quartet (for oboe and strings) and other music owe their existence.
In the Romantic period, two contradictory trends greatly affected the fantasia: one was the decline of formal improvisation as a test of the compositional technique; the other was the move by composers toward freer forms. Chopin’s Fantasy in F minor op. 49, combines various keyboard textures of the stile brillante with the classical sonata paradigm, resulting in a work of unorthodox but sophisticated form. Schumann’s numerous ‘fantasy pieces’ are character works on a smaller scale, often bearing descriptive titles.

Lahainaluna High School is a grade 9-12 school located in Lahaina (on the island of Maui), Hawaii. It is the oldest post-secondary school west of the Rocky Mountains. It was founded in 1831 as a Protestant missionary school, originally named Lahainaluna Seminary. The early missionaries who arrived in Lahaina in 1823 explained to the Hawaiian Royalty the importance of an educational institution. A number of the pioneers are buried in a small grave yard. It was the first school founded in Hawaii and has remained in operation since.

History and traditions
The missionary station in Lahaina was established by William Richards in 1823. In June 1831 Lorrin Andrews was chosen as first principal of a seminary. The site, coordinates 20°53?19?N156°39?33?W? / ?20.88861°N 156.65917°W? / 20.88861; -156.65917Coordinates: 20°53?19?N156°39?33?W? / ?and other data for this location”>20.88861°N 156.65917°W? / 20.88861; -156.65917, was named Lahainaluna for “upper Lahaina”. On September 5, 1831 classes began in thatched huts with 25 Hawaiian young men including former royal historian David Malo. The post-secondary program later became part of the first University of Hawaii.
Lahainaluna has a boarding program where students from the outer islands (including students from the “other side of the island”) can live and study at either of the campus dormitories. In return, they work 18 hours per week doing various jobs aroundthe campus. Initially and exclusively for males, the boarding program became coed in 1980. The two dorms are David Malo Dormitory for the boys and Hoapili Dormitory for the girls. Previously, Hoapili housed both genders. Lahainaluna is one of only a few public boarding schools in the nation.
Twice a year, boarders lay a fresh coat of white lime on Pu’u Pa’u Pa’u in the shape of an ‘L’. On the L is the year and number of athletic championships won the previous year. On a clear day, the freshly limed L can be seen from the island of Molokai. It is located at coordinates 20°53?15?N156°38?30?W? / ?20.8875°N 156.64167°W? / 20.8875; -156.64167.
The school celebrates David Malo Day annually - a day where a feast is served, students sing, and the dormitories are open to the public.
Hale Pa’i, or the house of printing, is a small coral and timber building on the Lahainaluna campus that, starting in 1834, served as the home of Hawaii’s first printing press. English and Hawaiian language books and newspapers were printed here, including the first newspaper printed West of the Rocky Mountains. The first paper currency of Hawaii was printed here in 1843, and a student was expelled in 1844 for counterfeiting, causing all the paper money to be re-issued with secret marks.

Many archived publications are on public display at the site, now a museum maintained by the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. Hale Pa’i, also known as Hawaii Site No. 50-03-1596, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
Campus
Lahainaluna High School is perched high on a hill. The multiple classroom buildings are widespread. The grounds are covered with many benches, pathways, grass, plants and trees, the latter allowing easy-to-find shade even on hot, sizzling days. The campus boasts the ceramic sculpture Orbit by Toshiko Takaezu. There is also a small stream near the school, past the Agriculture area. The path to view this stream is against a cliff and is therefore challenging to get to. The red rocks and lush scenery here however, eases one’s trepidation while viewing.
Lahainaluna is also situated high enough on this hill to allow breathtaking views of the Pacific and of the islands of Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe. It is simply one of the best views from any school in the islands.
Notable alumni
David Malo, Class of 1835 - Native Hawaiian scholar, Hawaii’s first superintendent of schools, Advisor to the Hawaiian royal family and namesake to the boy’s dorm and the festival held at campus annually (described above)

Casting
Actor Bill Tarmey considered retirement from the soap in 2006 , though in June 2008 decided that he would rather stay on the street. The actor also threatened to quit in 2001. As of September 2009, Bill Tarmey is currently part time on the show, with his character having moved out of the street. The character of Jack does, however, make occasional appearances in the Rovers Return Inn, Roy’s Rolls, etc. The reason for this is because of Bill Tarmey’s increasing health problems.
Storylines
Jack in 1983.
The character made his first appearance during an episode that aired on 28 November, 1979. Over the next four years, the character made frequent appearances. Before the character was introduced, however, William Tarmey often appeared as an extra in the Rovers Return Inn, playing darts. Producers have revealed that the extra and the later introduced character are one and the same. Upon his return in 1981, Jack became a semi-regular character. The character later moved into the street in 1983, much to many of the Street’s residents dismay.
Whilst Jack was working a British fairground ride, The Waltzer, he met Vera Burton, and they soon begun a relationship. When Vera announced that she was pregnant with his baby, Jack agreed to marry her. Even after discovering this was a false alarm, Jack still took her hand in marriage. During a trip to the United States, Jack confessed to being two years younger than Vera was aware, as he had lied at their wedding, making out that he was older than he really was in an attempt to impress a young Vera. Since they hadn’t been legally married, they made their marriage official by tying the knot in the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. A pregnant Vera gave birth to a son, whom they named Terry.
Jack later had an affair with Bet Lynch, in which he later regretted. Jack enrolled with a video dating agency in 1983, referring to himself as “Vince St. Clair” and obtained a white suit, gold medallion and phony trans-Atlantic accent. Vera also took part in this. She referred to herself as “Carole Munroe”, and was shocked when she seen Jack’s video. She pretended meeting him in the Rovers Return Inn, wearing a ginger wig, claiming to be a rich widow.
Vera was almost tempted into an affair with Lestor Fontaine, but was soon to realise that she couldn’t leave Jack. In 2000, Vera worried that she may die in an operation, and confessed to Jack that she had had an affair during their early marriage and therefore Terry may not be Jack’s son. Jack confessed to his friend Curly Watts that unbeknownest to Vera he had knowledge of the affair, and had beaten her other lover up, though he claimed that he believed Terry to be his own son as he reminded him too much of himself.
Jack and Vera’s son Terry became a father to Paul in the 1980s by Andrea Clayton, who fled to escape Terry. Terry later began dating Lisa Horton in the 1990s, and she was soon revealed to be pregnant. After Terry was imprisoned, he still vowed to marry her, and to their delight Terry was released for his wedding. After marrying, Terry escaped and became a fugitive. He was re-captured near a supermarket and Lisa ended their marriage, realising that Terry would always be a rogue, despite her pregnancy. She then moved in with Des Barnes. Because of this, Vera disowned her, accusing her of causing Terry’s misfortune. While Jack was more sympathetic towards Lisa, knowing Terry would never stand by his wife and child, he nonetheless felt he had to stand with his wife. A pregnancy Lisa gave birth to a boy, Tommy. However, Lisa was struck by a car whilst receiving dropped change from her purse, and Tommy was left to live with his paternal grandparents. Jack and Vera found it hard to cope, particularly financially, and Tommy was forced to live with his maternal grandparents in Blackpool. This caused distress within the Duckworth family, as Terry sold his child to the Horton’s completely, and Vera and Jack attempted to get him to change his mind, resulting in Jack punching Terry in the jaw. Jack and Vera received another grandson, Brad, after Terry’s fling with Tricia Armstrong.
Jack and Vera later became surrogate parents for Tyrone Dobbs, whose mother had been imprisoned for assault. Jack considers Tyrone as more of a son than Terry had ever been. Jack was fond of pigeons though Vera hated them, and she once tricked him into believing that she had cooked him a pigeon pie. Jack once agreed to sell his dead body for a large amount of cash to an artist who enjoys painting stuffed humans, so he could buy Vera a Christmas present. When Vera discovered this, she argued with the woman, who then turned up, inspired by Vera. They agreed to both pose nude for the artist, but on condition that they would be buried as normal. The Duckworths celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary with a party at the Rovers in August 2007.
After the couple had been planning to move to Blackpool, Jack discovered Vera dead in an armchair at their home during an episode airing on 18 January, 2008, devastating many of Coronation Street’s residents. This prompted Jack to remain in Weatherfield, although, he still offered the house to Tyrone and his girlfriend Molly, though they insisted that he remain as lodger. Months later, Jack’s grandson Paul Clayton, having returned to Weatherfield previously, confessed to the police to burning down Valandro’s, Leanne Battersby’s restaurant. He also confessed this to Jack who was disgusted with his grandson’s behaviour and told him he was his father’s son. Despite his disgust, Jack offered Paul £10,000 that he had received from the house, on the condition that Paul face prison. However, Paul could not face prison and decided to flee the country, this reassured Jack that Paul was different from Terry. When Molly’s aunt Pam later moved into number 9, Jack decided to spend a few months in Blackpool.
Upon his return, he described at Tyrone and Molly’s wedding in January 2009 that Tyrone was the son he and Vera had always wanted. Later that year, Jack met Connie Rathbone, a widow and pigeon enthusiast. The two became good friends, although Tyrone felt Jack’s behaviour was disrespectful to the memory of Vera. Jack soon went on holiday with Connie to Spain and lied to Tyrone and Molly that he was returning to Blackpool. When he returned, Tyrone discovered the truth and was unhappy with Jack. Tyrone began to soften towards Connie but was still shocked when Jack announced in September 2009 that he was moving in with Connie, leaving on September 21 2009.
Jack continued to make sporadic appearances on the Street. In January 2010, he was dismayed when Molly broke up with Tyrone, as he had seen them as the ideal couple.
Reception
Please help improve this section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page. (October 2009)
In June 2009, the character of Jack was criticised as it was believed that all the character was useful for was “breeding pigeons and propping up the bar at the Rovers”. In August 2009, Jack was referred to as being “a bit of a rogue”, and was also described as having “dry humour”.
