Half-Kenku, half-human. Male. 4’ 10”. Some feathering, curved Kenku nose, but otherwise human in appearance. Arasaka contract ID on record.

### History

* **1674**: Jaque Kane born to Valentin Dubois (Kenku) and Amelia Kane (human) in the village of Sato, Okoro Kingdom. Half-kenku, half-human births are rare; the village Shaman did not expect Jaque to survive.
* **1685**: Valentin dies of the Nymerian Plague. Amelia survives him by 6 months, cared for by 11 year-old Jaque, before also succumbing to the plague. Suspected first radicalization: Jaque attributes his parents; death to poor medical care and blames the Nymerian Kingdom Alliance and Arasaka.
* **1687**: Jaque gets and survives the plague.
* **1690**: Jaque attends the Nymeria Bardic College of Eloquence at 16. He drops out after 1 year. Multiple administrative reprimands found on file, citing cheating on exams and fighting with professors.
* **1691-94**: Minimal records found. Some unverified testimony suggests Jaque traveled the Swamps of Il-Zur as an apprentice under a Sphinx Inquisitor who moved village to village, investigating and resolving [illegally] disputes and crimes using Lupo & Cani Sphinx magic and tradition.
* **1694**: Jaque opens a Private Investigator outfit in The Capital at the age of 20. Tagline: “The Best PI this side of the Inner Sea.” The business struggles for several years.
* **1697**: Jaque leads an investigation into Charontis’ alleged falsification of pharmaceutical trial results. Charontis reaches a settlement with plaintiffs. This raises Jaque’s PI profile.
* **1698**: With the Protectorate newly formed, Arasaka declares a rejuvenated effort to clear Nymeria of Tyger Claws, known as The War of Claws. Part of this effort is the engagement of independent organizations within Nymeria to assist in locating Tygron [Operation Many Eyes]. Jaque is hired to track the Mndeni Tyger Claw Ambush.
* **1700**: We suspect this is the year Jaque successfully found the Mndeni Ambush, but refused to report it to his Arasaka supervisor - there is a suspicious lapse in his reporting and minor inconsistencies. This was not noticed until years later. We suspect he made contact with the Mndeni and was radicalized by *Valda, Jaws of the Jungle, Striker of the Mndeni Ambush [Wanted Tyger Claw Terrorist]*.
* **1700-06**: Jaque operates as a double agent, feeding falsified reports to Arasaka to misdirect PeaceKeeping Troop deployments and shield the Mndeni Ambush. Upon retroactive review, it is clear that Jaque actively aided, abetted, and even, in extreme cases, participated directly in terrorism perpetrated by the Mndeni Ambush. A non-exhaustive list of his confirmed crimes follows.
	+ Providing intelligence to the Mndeni ambush about Arasaka troop movements that led to an estimated 47 soldier fatalities.
	+ Fed counter-intel to Arasaka to help the Mndeni avoid capture for 6 years (estimations suggest at least 3 occurrences where Valda would have been captured if not for Jaque).
	+ Zarbell Factory Bombing - Jaque convinced his Arasaka Handler that he had a lead on the Mndeni in the region and to deploy security forces from the factory to prevent an attack on the village. This was a decoy. While they were gone, Valda and her Tyger Claws detonated a bomb at an Etherium Refining Factory that resulted in  236 innocent casualties.
	+ Used Arasaka access to identify other targets for 18+ attacks accredited to the Mndeni (see expanded Mndeni Dossier for details) with 300+ total casualties.
	+ Attacked and killed an Arasaka officer who uncovered his subterfuge (Jaque was caught a week later).
	+ We suspect Jaque was working closely with a Loxodon at this time [REDACTED]
* **1707**: By the Nymerian Kingdom Alliance Counter-Terrorism Act of 1683, Jaque is found guilty of Domestic Terrorism, First Degree Murder, and Treason. However, before Jaque could face sentencing for his crimes by Nymerian law, Senator Horace Chestington [now Sirex Governor], exerted political influence to have Jaque extradited to Sirex instead. Chestington pressured Arasaka by [REDACTED]. We suspect Jaque either has strong blackmail on Chestington or performed some sort of illicit service warranting repayment.
* **1708-13**: Jaque is imprisoned in Luanka, Sirex’ Maximum Security Prison.
* **1713**: Jaque is released from prison early on parole. Evidence suggests Chestington pushed for Jaque’s early release.
* **1716**: In Nymeria, the Mndeni Ambush is finally defeated in Gitama Village by the Spirit of Fire. Valda is captured and sent via ground transport to The Capital for public trial, but the Convoy is attacked by you’re not supposed to be reading this you cheater, give up and Valda escapes. She is still a wanted fugitive and, after the loss of her ambush, now goes by “V”.
* **1724**: Jaque is involved in the Sirex takedown of the terrorist group known as the Court of Owls and prevention of the Damian Rourke’s attempted bombing of the Protectorate Senate. He is tried for the murder of Chancellor Valdar Shadh, but found not guilty. Jaque is awarded a Medal of Honor by the Protectorate.
	+ New Sirex intelligence suggests that Sarovar Arlynn, one of the assassination defendants, was a Tarrin extremist and did kill Shadh. Sarovar ended his own life before he could be compelled to testify in a Zone of Truth. Jaque was closely involved with Sarovar, and we suspect he was complicit in Shadh’s murder. Or at the very least, chose not to report what he knew.

The rest is REDACTED.
