- Jacques' profile

Jacques is the newest member of Geddoe's unit in the Harmonian Southern Frontier Defense Force. As an expert bow user, he's in charge of the 12th Unit's long-range attacks. Jacques is a very taciturn young man but although he may seem aloof or distant at first glance, he's actually a friendly person with very deep feelings. He likes children and animals, playing with them in his free time.

He was recruited into SFDF shortly before the War of the Champions when he helped to snipe a group of pursuers hunting Geddoe when the chase took them to the forest Jacques was living in. Respecting his temperament and precise marksmanship, Geddoe would recruit Jacques for his unit on the spot. Loyal to Geddoe, he would show off his stunning prowess both as a member of the SFDF and the Fire Bringer.

Following the war, Jacques would continue to serve under Geddoe while contemplating the production of an even more powerful bow gun.
