John Sansker is a character in Spawn.

History

John Sansker makes his first appearance in the Spawn Blood Feud mini-series. He is called in by the NYPD to assist in the hunting and 'disposal' of Spawn. Throughout the series, it is revealed that John is actually a vampirical snake-like creature himself, and has killed numerous creatures including Lamias and Werewolves. As for people, he is responsible for killing both Flynn and Ramirez when confronted.

Almost 20 years later, short after Spawn sealed the Dead Zones and created the Time Rift that leave the forces of Heaven and Hell stranded on earth and without their leaders, Sansker would have a brief encounter with Spawn, tauting him how his actions created a power vacuum, and even with all his enemies stranded on earth it would take him years to take them all out. Spawn proppose he should then start with Sansker himself, who feels confident Al is to weak to fight him. None the less, Sansker, even on his true form of a giant serpent, is easily defeated by a now far more experienced Spawn, but is still allowed to leave alive, with Al even taunting him to spread the word of how "weak" he is now, so more come for him, making his hunts for the "Shadow Players" of Heaven and Hell, easier.

John Sansker was born Jean de St. Claire in the year 1082. Later, in revolutionary France, he was called Jean Sans-Coeur (meaning "Heartless John"). He lived through the centuries, hunting and killing the abominations that plagued the world.
