Jacques is friendly, chatty, and a flirt–this is what near anyone can say of him when they first meet him, never knowing his more terrible traits. While Jacques Lafitte is indeed a charismatic and humorous fellow, in usual high spirits when he appears in port towns and taverns as merely an honest trader and sellsword, those who get close to him quickly find him to be a mercurial man. He is, for example, quick to black tempers and fits of rage, unsatisfied until he brings vengeance down on any man who gives him even the smallest of slights. He is also ambitious and competitive, a salacious individual hellbent on grasping at the desires of the world and basking in them without qualm or care for what gets in the way. He kills with little remorse as a sellsword, his only hesitance being he cannot harm children; he fights to cause suffering to the victim he corners, enjoying the pain he causes with every hack of his axe or rain of his magic-tipped arrows.

…But right, he’s just a friendly, chatty flirt to those he keeps a casual acquaintance with. Play a fiddle well, knows a few bawdy sea shanties, and dreamily talks of the sea.

H I S T O R Y

Born of Ishgard to a loving father and a distant mother, Jacques of House Mortier grew up as a lord’s son with two twin sisters in Ishgard, relatively happy up until his father’s demise at the hands of a heretic’s blade when he was eight years of age. From that point on, his mother was head of the family’s finances, and she quickly spoiled them in drink and the flaunting of men as a ‘wealthy widow’ who was quickly declining in wealth. When all but the house was gone, she abandoned her children and disappeared; at twelve years of age, Odette and Bernadette were given to the kindness of relations, and Jacques was ejected from Ishgard by their greed. He was smuggled on a cart headed to the Shroud, leaving with the promise to his sisters and half-siblings that he'd return with bags of riches and would reclaim their house and estate for them.

In the Black Shroud, Jacques found little way of making a life for himself beyond working as a stable hand in Bentbranch, until a kindly Lalafellan magister took him in and soon adopted him as her 'grandson' along with her already adopted Roegadyn charge, Mahk Wardblade. Mahk and Jacques soon became as close as brothers, with Mahk adopting Jacques colorful dreams and ambitions for finding his fortune where others could find it–-on the high seas, as wealthy privateers. As soon as they were able at the cusp of young adulthood, the two men bid farewell to their caregiver and left for La Noscea, to chase their ambition. For a few years they worked candidly together, getting matching face tattoos to signify their connection as brothers as they went from crew to crew together.

It took but one pivotal trip to Kugane, however, to bring their entwined fates torn apart. In the middle of the journey, a pirate ship chased the trader's vessel across the sea, forcing her into a mist that was so thick one could near cut a hole through it. The mist covered rocks that jutted from the swirling waves like teeth, which tore at the hull. As the pirate and trader ship fought, the ships were battered so by rock that when the trading vessel managed to break free of the pirates, it fled to safer waters. Jacques was torn from Mahk and brought on to the pirate vessel, never to be seen by Mahk again. Jacques and the pirates did not last long in those terrible, mist-covered seas--soon, the hull was torn asunder, and the men aboard were dragged beneath the water, to drown.

When Jacques fell in the icy depths, losing the last bit of air in his lungs, he was sure he was drowned and dead. Yet he regained consciousness in the midst of the men who had dragged him aboard--tied up and shivering in a eerie cavern with sterner members of the misbegotten crew, peering with them at the strange fish-like beast men they had never set eyes on before...

The rest of the tale is lost, left to the man who reappeared years later standing tall, carrying the name of Jacques Lafitte, Captain of the Grey Lady. 'The Undying', the Banshee in the Mists who lures ships into a watery grave in the same uncharted waters he near drowned in, five years ago.
