❥ He has an unbreakable façade of benevolence and cheer; he's practised and perfected this for over twenty years. Oz had Gilbert and Eliot to find him; Jack has had no-one. It is incredibly hard to spot the difference between this Jack and the others - he's just that good.
❥ He is very unstable. He will manipulate anyone and everyone for no reason other than 'oh, I was bored'. His pretty face and charming personality makes it quite easy.
❥ He has nearly zero sense of empathy and no conscience.
❥ He's a mentalist, meaning that he can read body language very well, and that he can subtly influence people.
❥ He's taken from mid-tragedy of Sablier.
❥ This Jack killed his Alice as an attempt to stop the Tragedy. If the girl died, the Will of the Abyss will lose her link to Sablier, and perhaps the Abyss would not swallow up the capital. He'd been planning to use her against Glen, but she wasn't worth the trouble, anyway.
❥ He had known about Miranda Barma telling Vincent about opening the door to the Abyss, and did not stop the boy. If Gilbert hadn't taken that blow for him, he would have killed the boy himself.
❥ He wanted to kill Glen for choosing Lacie over him, and since he was dying anyway, used himself as a seal to stop Glen from resurrecting forever. It was just to spite him. He hates Glen Baskerville with a passion - and he loves the man with the same intensity as well.
❥ He collects scissors. He holds a certain genuine fondness for Vincent, and had been the one to give the boy his first pair of scissors.
❥ Jack is a very dangerous man. Be cautious around him.

his reasons;

❥ He's learned from a very young age that he is not loved. Never was, never will be. The world is only full of pretenses, why should he be different?
❥ This Jack's Glen Baskerville rivals him in how manipulative he is. A very large part of what made Jack what he is currently is how the Duke of Baskerville overtook his life.

Jack was originally engaged to another noblewoman, Anna-Marie. However, the girl, after meeting with his back-then acquaintance, Glen, fell in love with Glen instead. Before she could call off their engagement, Jack killed her out of sheer jealousy, and made it look like an accident.

He then looked at Glen, closely; what made him so different? And in a strange turn of events, Jack became enamored with the other man, love devolving into obsession, even through all that Glen had put him through. His own Glen never reciprocated what he felt. Instead, he used Jack as a substitute, physically and emotionally, for his first and only sweetheart: Lacie.

Jack grew his hair out because Glen said it reminded him of her. The Duke had bought him the same kind of cologne. He'd even make Jack dress up in elaborate gowns, thread flowers in his loose hair, and order him to paint his face with women's makeup. When he'd step out into Glen's balcony, the duke would look through him and kiss him with a sort of love that Jack had never had.

When Glen took him to bed, he told Jack to leave his hair loose, blindfolded him, and told him not to make a sound. In the very same night (and subsequent ones), Jack never heard his name, but of a woman long dead: Lacie.

And he allowed it. Loved it, looked forward to it. Because if he could make Glen happy, everything was all right in the world, even if it was inherently wrong, even if it shattered his heart into pieces every time. At least he was still loved, even if it was a lie.

So he devoted his everything to Glen, and what did the man do? He killed everyone in Sablier for Lacie.
