Jacques
Jacques is Lady Serina Kael’s manservant.
That is the least important thing about him.
Description
Jacques is impeccably dressed, unfailingly polite, and almost never speaks unless addressed. He moves through Lady Kael’s residence with the confidence of someone who knows every door, every servant, and every secret worth keeping.
His posture is perfect. His expression is neutral. His presence is intentional.
If Jacques is in the room, something important is being discussed.
Known Capabilities
- Maintains absolute discretion
- Coordinates information quietly and efficiently
- Controls access to Lady Kael with subtle authority
- Possesses knowledge well beyond a servant’s station
- Likely oversees intelligence gathering and message routing
Jacques does not ask questions.
He already knows the answers.
Known Events
- Confirmed access to the Blacktower execution schedule
- Acted as Lady Kael’s intermediary during sensitive planning
- Present during the commissioning of the Blacktower infiltration
- Observed conversations without ever appearing to listen
His involvement suggests foreknowledge rather than reaction.
Relationships
- Lady Serina Kael — Absolute loyalty; trusted implicitly
- The Blades of Strangeways — Observant, neutral, assessing
Jacques watches the Blades carefully.
Not with suspicion.
With interest.
Current Role
Jacques is the unseen hand behind Lady Kael’s reach.
If Lady Kael is the blade, Jacques is the whetstone.
Quiet. Essential. And very difficult to remove.
