The novelization by Christopher Wood gives Jaws a backstory. His real name is Zbigniew Krycsiwiki. He was born in Poland, the product of a union between the strong man of a travelling circus and the Chief Wardress at the Women's Prison in Cracow. The relationship and subsequent marriage had been a stormy one, and, when it broke up, the young Zbigniew stayed with his mother and attended school, and subsequently university in Cracow. He grew to a prodigious height, but in temperament, he followed his father, and was surly and uncooperative, given to sudden outbreaks of violent temper. Because of his size, he commanded a place on the university basketball team, but he was sluggish of reaction, and his lack of speed was constantly exposed by more skillful but less physically endowed players. After a failed attempt at a basketball career, Krycsiwiki was arrested by the secret police for having taken part in the "1972 bread riots." While he was imprisoned, the police "beat him with hollow steel clubs encased in thick leather" until they thought he was dead, leaving his jaw broken beyond repair. Krycsiwiki later escaped, and stowed aboard one of Stromberg's vessels. Eventually he was caught, but instead of turning him in, Stromberg hired a prestigious doctor to create an artificial jaw. After fourteen operations, Krycsiwiki's jaw was restored using steel components that created two rows of terrifying razor-sharp teeth, although Jaws was left mute.
