Jacques

Jacques is the caretaker and leader of the Unfortunate Children's orphanage outside of Ash. He is described as being a tall, pale man whose skin had been sun tanned and whose hair had prematurely greyed. His eyes are sharp blue and pointed and his nose is long with a stately bump on the bridge.

He, along with Anse and Vern, "care" for the children. They also run a successful thieving outfit on the side. Esther states that he is prone to drinking moonshine and visiting a brothel she calls the "girl's house". Because Esther states that he wears a grey suit for the Holy Day inspection, it follows that the Unfortunate Children's orphanage as well as Jacques are a part of the Holy Court.
