Malcolm Ducasse

*"I am just better equipped to be helping people who actually need help."*
―Malcolm Ducasse to Zaya Okonjo[src]**Malcolm Joseph Ducasse** is a private investigator and an ally of Jessica Jones who was exploited by Kilgrave, who turned him into a drug addict, to stalk Jones. After Jones discovered Ducasse's involvement in Kilgrave's plan, she helped him to go off of the drugs Kilgrave used to coerce him. Then, Ducasse became one of Jones' closest allies in putting a stop to Kilgrave's plan. He also started a support group for other victims of Kilgrave's manipulation. After Kilgrave was finally stopped by Jones, Malcolm began to work with her as her associate at Alias Investigations.

Now an investigator with Alias, Ducasse helped Jones track down John Raymond, and was brought in for questioning about Jones and Raymond by Misty Knight. Ducasse and Trish Walker, alongside other allies of the Defenders, went into hiding at the 29th Precinct Police Station due to their ties to the Hand, who the Defenders ultimately defeated.

Jones later sought Ducasse's help in investigating IGH, a shady company with ties to Jones' superpowers, as well as being recruited by Jeri Hogarth to dig up dirt on her law partners, all the while starting a relationship with Walker. However, Walker, growing jealous of Jones, kidnapped the doctor who gave Jones her powers, threatening Ducasse and stuffing him into the trunk of a car for trying to stop her. Growing tensions between Ducasse and Jones caused him to leave Alias Investigations, instead becoming a part of Hogarth's new firm, Hogarth & Associates.

At Hogarth & Associates, Ducasse started a relationship with colleague Zaya Okonjo, but found himself distressed by the practices employed at the firm. Jones turned to Ducasse once more with help protecting Brianna Gelden, who was at risk of being targeted by Gregory Sallinger, and again became involved with Walker, who had become a superpowered vigilante, though Ducasse's involvement with Walker cost him his relationship with Okonjo. Ultimately, Ducasse rejoined Alias Investigations, working with Jones to stop Walker, who had become a murderer. After Walker's defeat, a distraught Jones knocked on Ducasse's door and handed him the keys to Alias, warning him not to mess it up.
