Main cast

• Jackie Chan is the main protagonist of the series, who appears as two different versions.

• Uncle Chan is Jackie's uncle and Jade's great-uncle, who is a wise sage and researcher of magic. He speaks with a Cantonese-accented drawl and often refers to himself in the third person. When casting magic, he uses the Cantonese phrase "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao", which translates to "Evil demons and malevolent spirits, be gone!". His real name is unknown, as he is referred to as "Uncle" by almost everyone in the series, including himself, regardless of their actual relation. In the "Ask Jackie" segment, Chan stated that Uncle is half based on his father and half based on his manager.

He is an enforcer for the Dark Hand in the first season before reforming and becoming an ally of the Chans as well as Uncle's apprentice.
