Possible character feature for Jack?

From work:

I went down to Starbucks today to get an espresso brownie. The clerk at the register was someone I hadn't seen before. As he handed me the brownie and my change, I blurted out, "Pardon me, but I'm-a-novelist-and-so-I-study-peoples'-faces-and-would-you-mind-telling-me-about-your-eyebrow?"

He blinked in surprise, but obligingly told me. He has a condition called vitiligo, which causes parts of his skin to lose pigmentation. The only sign of it on him is that one of his eyebrows is jet black and the other is snow white. Very striking.

Hmm. Might I use this for Jack?

You have no idea what weird things I ask perfect strangers at times. The hazards of being a writer.

P.S. Maybe, on second thought, I shouldn't. There was that streak of white hair on Willy Silver in War for the Oaks.

So. It's been done. Feh.
