Jacquemondo, Jean

ジャン・ジャックモンド

Jean Jacquemonde is a French Spriggan operator based in ARCAM's French branch. His werewolf appearance stems primarily from the use of ancient biotechnology that granted him the ability to shapeshift into one. During his tenure with the Spriggans, he actively assists Yu Ominae in battling enemies of the ARCAM Corporation, ranging from Turkey to the forests of Japan, fighting Machiner's Platoon soldiers and brainwashed COSMOS child soldiers. In his first appearance in Turkey, Jean undergoes his first werewolf transformation when Little Boy riddles him with a barrage of bullets. After eventually killing his assailant in his werewolf stage, Jean overcomes platoons of Machiner's Platoon soldiers sent to stop him.
When Jean is deployed on a mission to Romania, he confronts his father, who informs him of his heritage. During an operation in Ecuador, Jean is severely wounded by Oboro and left for dead. Fortunately for Jean, Percup Ramdi performs an operation that manages to heal his wounds and further accelerate his rate of self-healing. In a mission to prevent COSMOS from extracting Rie Yamabishi to the US, Jean storms a US Army base in Japan along with Yu and Oboro. However, they are unable to prevent COSMOS forces from escaping.
Jean, grudgingly, teams up with Iwao Akatsuki and Bo Brantz, two of ARCAM's most fearsome enemies, to sabotage a Trident operation when Larry Markson attempts to harness the power of the South Pole Shrine in order to take control of the world. Following Bo's death, the three take on Larry's forces before they are able to get rid of the Fire Snake with the help of Yoshino Somei, Rie Yamabishi, and other ARCAM personnel who were forced to assist Trident in gaining access to the fiery artifact.
