Role in Game

In Bladestorm: Nightmare, Jean is at Île-de-France where he and the remaining officers are told that the player is responsible for the monster attacks going on throughout the land. As a result, he and Bertrand are initially hostile to Magnus's party until the kings of England and France are freed from Joan of Arc's spell. During the conflict in Champagne, both Jean and his liege stay behind to help evacuate the townsfolk there. He becomes a squad member for the player if rescued in time.
