Jacques was born nine minutes after Francois, making him the younger brother. He would often follow in his brother’s footsteps and hoped to become a reliable brother to him. However, his efforts to catch up to his brother’s hardships caused him to be hated and despised by the latter. He would receive abusive treatment from Francois, which he allows, believing that he has the right to be mad at him for whatever he did. Though he never exactly knew the reason why.
Jacques endured a very harsh childhood until he met Charlotte, who gave him a rose to cheer him up when they were both very young. He considered the moment the first time that someone treated him with pity and compassion. Since then, Jacques became obsessed with her and grew up painting portraits of her to make sure that he would never forget her beauty and their initial meeting.
Years later, Jacques reunites with Charlotte at a ball as his potential fiance and desires to marry her immediately despite his competition with Francois. After learning what Francois did to Charlotte, he murders Francois, steals his identity, and ends up becoming the new Duke of House Jacinthe. He becomes more possessive and obsessed with Charlotte, and his behavior scares Charlotte to the point of leading her to suicide. He eventually admits his crimes and decides to kill himself in her place after briefly setting the Jacinthe Manor on fire.
Jacques is reserved, and gloomy, but highly empathetic. He allowed his brother to abuse him which resulted in his injuries so he could understand his pain and suffering, but also oblivious to his brother's true reasons. He may also be considered as ‘childish’. Meanwhile, Jacques has an unhealthy obsession with Charlotte. He painted portraits of her until he grew up, and cherishes and even worships her beauty. Jacques lets his emotions get the best of him, even going as far as to kill his brother in rage after learning what he did to Charlotte. He lacks control of his emotions and easily gets jealous.
Jacques is a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes. His bangs are parted to the left. He always wears a solemn expression and has many injuries around his body due to Francois’ constant physical abuse.

Jacques has an unhealthy obsession with Charlotte and has been madly in love with her since the day they met. He would frequently paint portraits of her and is willing to do whatever it takes to win her heart. He eventually became possessive of her to the point of going insane.
