Story

Jean was born in the year '16 or '17. He was diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of twenty-seven, around '44. Originally an equestrian officer, by '49 at the latest, he was partnered with Harry, who insisted on acquiring a Coupris 40 motor carriage to better manage rapid response calls. During the course of their partnership, he was promoted to lieutenant in accordance with Harry's promotions, and the two re-conceptualized Precinct 41's C-Wing as a "task force". Jean never met Harry's ex-fiancée Dora Ingerlund in person, as they had separated before he met Harry, but knew of her (as well as the impact of their separation on Harry's psyche and his addiction) from Harry's frequent bitter remarks on the topic. At one point, he appeared to believe Harry would recover from his alcoholism, but due to Harry's multiple relapses and desire to "get worse", he lost faith in the possibility and began to resent him. Several team members, including Guillaume Bevy, were driven away by Harry's behavior, leaving only Jean, Judit Minot, and outside consultants such as Trant Heidelstam. Jean was often forced to take over Harry's responsibilities and lead the C-Wing in his place.Despite his efforts, Harry's behaviour contributed to Precinct 41's bad reputation, one consequence of which was that Jean and the rest of the C-Wing were forced to undergo sensitivity training. In the early months of '51, at least two years into their partnership, Jean worked alongside Harry on several other cases, mentioned in Harry's notes by his initials "JV". In THE NEXT WORLD MURAL, he and Harry were tasked with the removal of the titular mural from a building in Central Jamrock. Jean objected, and they instead organized a public vote, with seventy-eight percent of the community voting in favour of preserving it. Several other cases Jean, Harry, and Trant were working on were continuously derailed by a case assigned to Harry on January 29th, '51: THE UNSOLVABLE CASE, concerning repeat offenders Leslie and Burke. Jean appears to have been absent when an inebriated Harry beat Burke severely, ultimately closing the case. He was mentioned alongside Trant as having "more important cases to attend to" at the time. At the start of the investigation into THE HANGED MAN in March '51, Jean, Trant, and Judit accompanied Harry to Martinaise, but were told to "fuck off", as they were "cramping [his] style." This was apparently compounded with emotional abuse and fits of physical destruction, which caused Jean and Judit to return to Precinct 41, leaving Harry to his three-day bender.
