The Jerk

The Jerk is the main antagonist in Dog Sled Saga.

The player starts the game off by racing him. When they first start the race, he kicks up snow onto the player's dogs and sled. After each race with him, the player will write a journal entry depending on whether or not they beat him.

On Day 1, the player will always write a journal entry of what he did on the first day. After that, occasional journal entries will be added whenever the player races against The Jerk. The outcome of the race will depend on what entry will be added.

However, if the player beats The Jerk enough times in-game, he will offer to work for you as an employee, giving you the steam achievement; "If you can't beat 'em..." if you accept his offer. He is the best worker in the entire game to unlock. A few people have suggested that The Jerk may, or may not have feelings for the Protagonist, and this is his way of showing it. But, again, this is never confirmed.

Despite hiring, him, beating him tons of times in a race, his name will never be unveiled. When you go to hire him, the display name is simply, "The Jerk".
