Jacques Lysander

Illustrated by Hannah Katz

**Jacques Lysander** is the secret ruling patriarch of the Lysander family, an illusive Nosferatu who conceals themselves as the family's sick and disfigured uncle. Often avoiding encounters with the public entirely.

## Description

### Appearance

Like all Nosferatu, Jacques' appearance was deformed and warped by the blood of his sire, his skin turned deathly pale with the exception of darken circles around his eyes, and dark veins extending across his face. On close inspection one may also notice several moles and skintags dotting his face. Additionally his teeth are stark yellow carnivorous teeth, more similar to a shark than a humans.

Apart from that, Jacques continues to dress well, befitted by the wealth his family's name provides. He's often seen wearing shades of red, and usually has a thick overcoat on his shoulders at all times.

### Personality

Jacques personality comes off to many as ugly as his physical looks, being careless with life and the physical harm of others or use of violence where he deems it necessary, and where it would not result in a breach of the masquerade. He delights in being right, but is respectful when clearly proven wrong.

Jacques only soft spot comes to his family, if you could call it that. Though he is often nasty to them at times, ready to use the threat of violence or even death against them, his intentions are for them to live and prosper as he has, as every Lysander should.

Lastly it should be noted, Jacques seems to take small delight in other people's disgust for him. Whether this is a learned habit to cope with his transformation into a Nosferatu, or a natural preexisting inclination is unclear.

## Biography

### Early Life

Jacques claims that he was turned at the age of 25, after being shot with a musket ball, as a way of his father saving his life. His father was punished for turning him prematurely and Jacques killed him. However there are several issues with this story, as the Lysander family have been Ventrue since Jacques grandfather, who was the first person turned, and this story would mean that for some reason Jacques father was a Nosferatu. He's either lying or was misremembering his embrace.
