Jacques stands at six foot two inches and weighs 197 pounds with a heavyset build. Although considered more on the heavy side, he does have some muscles on his arms. His skin is somewhat pale with gray eyes. He is bald, and his face is always freshly shaved. He always carries a white cane with him with a small, blue jewel on top of it. The cane itself is not used for helping with walking, but rather a way to show off his wealth. If one looks closely at the jewel, they may see the Key Stone he uses for Mega Evolution.
For clothes, Jacques always dresses professionally in a suit. Usually, he sticks with a white shirt, pants and dress shoes covered by a white jacket along with a red neck tie. Additionally, he wears a pair of reading glasses to show his intellect and cuff links in the shape of a small flame to show his wealth. He keeps his Poke Balls and handgun concealed in the pockets inside of his suit jacket in case he gets into any trouble.

Jacques is known for his pride for both Team Flare and Kalos. Yet, because of his social status, he believes himself to be better than his peers. He is shown to be respectful and polite, representing an ideal gentleman. He considers himself to be a perfectionist, wanting everything to go right in his view. He will not tolerate any failure from those beneath him, but he rarely does anything himself, preferring to have others do the hard work for him. Still, he is more than willing to get his hands dirty when push comes to shove.
It is easy to anger Jacques and send him on a rage that usually leads to violence and possibly murder. Whenever there is something he wants, he will think it is rightfully his and will stop at nothing to ensure that it belongs to him. He delivers punishment to those who fail him while rewarding those who are successful with whatever they are tasked with. Jacques greatest desire, in the end, is power, and he will do everything it takes to achieve more power.

Jacques was born as the second child to the Varnadore house, one of Kalos' oldest and wealthiest families. As he grew up, he was trained in the arts of the high society due to his family's social status. Still, he was more interested in the lore of ancient and legendary Pokémon. Through his studies, he learned of Mega Evolution, and sought to do whatever it takes for his partner, Clarence, to evolve like that. Both Mercer and Sydney were killed in a car crash when Jacques was seventeen, their will leaving their fortune to Troy. With his older brother kicking him out of the house, Jacques had nothing of his old life except for his training in the high society.
With nowhere else to go, Jacques joined multiple gangs in Lumiose City. Yet, he was unable to stick with one, always coming to a disagreement of sorts with leadership. He always believed himself to be a better leader due to his former social class. Still, even without a gang to follow him, Jacques proved himself to be dangerous for over a decade, having skills in both martial combat and firearms with a skilled Pokémon team to back him up. No one was able to pin him to his crimes.
When Jacques was twenty-seven, he met with Lysandre in a cafe, who was interested in his former social class and criminal skills. He was invited to make Kalos and the world a better place, an offer Jacques accepted. He was made into an executive of Team Flare, but as before, he started to disagree with Lysandre's ideas. He wanted to change the world, but not through the use of a super weapon. Rather, instead of using the Legendary Pokémon to destroy the world, he wanted to use them to rule the world. For that, Jacques would need to become the head of Team Flare.
That opportunity came when Lysandre's plans for the world failed with the destruction of the weapon. With the old boss missing, Jacques prepared his plan to take control of Team Flare. To do that, he would need to acquire wealth. Fortunately for him, around the time he started to build his wealth, Troy was killed in a "car accident," leaving his fortune as well as a Key Stone to his younger brother. With his new money, he was able to unite Team Flare under his leadership as well as recruiting new members such as Roger Devante. With his wealth and a criminal organization backing him up, Jacques now prepares to change Kalos' with him as its ruler.

"Stop it, I'll do what you want!!"
Jacques stared at the man before him. He was on his knees, badly beaten, with a hood covering his face so he could not see. Two enforcers have just finished beating him, and stood behind him. Just by looking at the man, he was not important. Yet, he was part of the jury that was to decide the punishment for one of the executives of Team Flare. This was the first time the executive failed at his job, so Jacques was willing to give him one final chance. He would need efficient members of Team Flare to make Kalos perfect.
"Very well. You will persuade the rest of the jury tomorrow to vote not guilty," Jacques said calmly.
"But, that man is guilty of three cases of murder!" The man countered.
"I know," Jacques said, kneeling down. "You know, you're different than the others in the jury. They didn't complain at all after the beating. Seeing how I can't have you too beaten up, I suppose I shall let you go."
"Really?" The man asked, shocked as he stands up. "What's the catch?"
"There is no catch," Jacques replied, anger building in his voice as he stands up. "But, if this man is guilty as you say, then I shall pay you another visit. From what I heard, you have two children at home, yes?"
"They got nothing to do with this!" the man snapped.
"Shut up!" Jacques ordered, grabbing the man's shirt as he lifted him up. "You will say that he is not guilty, or I will ensure that everything you ever treasured is taken away from you. I will break you, and after you are broken, I will put you down. Now, do not disappoint me."
He let go of the man, who fell back down on his knees in fear. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out as he accepted his fate. With a snap of his fingers, the two men behind him grabbed his arms and dragged him away. Jacques had complete faith that the trial would go in his favor. Over the last three days, his men took the members of the jury while they slept, and brought them to him for a little talk. Most of them were easily convinced just because of his enforcers.
He walked down the hallway, heading to a balcony that overlooked Lumiose City. The lights of the city sparkled brightly in the night sky as he smiled. This was the beauty of Kalos, yet it was not perfect. Yet, with Team Flare helping from the shadows, he will ensure that it does reach perfection. Soon, he would be control of the city, making his new home in Prism Tower. Then, he would turn his attention to the rest of Kalos. Then, with his home perfect, he would change the world to his vision.
