Relationships edit
Mary Bairrage edit
At some point after moving to London, Mary Bairrage hired Jack to pose as her cousin. The boarding house in which she lives only allows her to leave during work hours or when accompanied by an approved chaperone. Mary hired Jack to allow her the freedom to leave when she likes, as she has no family willing to accompany her.[1]
Appearance and Personality edit
Jack is of a similar height to Mary Bairrage. His hair is light brown, combed back from his face, and long enough to make him look roguish. His eyes are of an unmemorable color, but as Emma notes, "memorable in how they seemed to sharpen everything around him." Emma also likens his manner to a jungle cat: Sleek, purring, and dangerous. He is described as handsome, with a smile that comes easily.[2]
