Some might argue that he was a bit unnatural, but he just dismissed those whispers as jealousy. Although wielding a musket was second nature to him from the beginning, his true passion was in the kitchen. "A man's place was not in the kitchen," his father would argue, until he tried the food. Even though his father acknowledged his skills in the kitchen he never stopped pleasure Jacques to follow in his footsteps and become a soldier. Jacques refused, electing instead to attend a famous cooking school that sent him away from home for six months. He graduated with honors and was offered a position as sous chef at world famous restaurant in Paris, however after graduation he received a letter from his mother stating his father had died fighting pirates. Jacques rushed home to comfort his mother to which he declared he would do as his father wished and become a soldier. His mother was furious, but she knew her son and the look in his eye's showed his determination to do right by his father. She kissed him on the cheek and hoped to see her son come home alive instead of in a box like her husband.Off he went to training where he quickly garnered the respect of his peers for his marksmanship skills. Due to his education he was moved into the officers corps where he reached the rank of Lieutenant serving under Philippe Pétain until they were ambushed at sea by an unmarked ship. The unit was being transported to Northern Africa when a battle ensued. In the conflict Jacques saved his commander from an incoming volley by throwing himself in the line of fire. Though he was successful in saving the commander he suffered grievous wounds. One of the wounds tore a hole in his throat severely weakening his voice to barely a whisper. Philippe was supposed to relieve Jacques of his duties. The extent of his wound would making commanding troops impossible but, feeling indebted to Jacques for saving his life, he instead sent him on a mission. Although to find Secret documents that were lost when La Gloriosa went down. The belief was that these documents prove the Spanish plan to betray one of their allies in the impending War of Spanish Succession.Jacques accepted the mission, and before he left went to see his mother one last time. The visit was very bitter-sweet with neither of them saying much, mostly just enjoying each others company. When he left she cried and so did he. He made his way to Florida and from there hopped all over the Caribbean before finding himself in the capital of the Bahamas continuing his search for a ship in search of the La Gloriosa. Whispers of beautiful woman, the daughter of a famous pirate, looking to shore up a crew peeked his interest and set him in search of her. [/sblock]</blockquote>
