The suave, English assassin was introduced by author Fredrick Forsyth to the world in 1971 and remains a part of pop culture despite the passage of time and a Hollywood attempt to murder him.
Author Fredrick Forsyth - who passed away on Monday - wrote about various characters who took on systems much bigger than one would think could be targeted by an individual.
His most enduring character over the decades has been the lone assassin called the ' Jackal ', who has metamorphosed over the years and ridden waves of popular culture to remain intriguing to readers and viewers across generations.
