About him:
Jade is an officer of the Malkuth Empire, with the rank of Colonel. He's a very complex character, acting in conflicting ways frequently. Jade is a sarcastic and pessimistic individual at times, while at others he'll be honest and logical. The oldest member of the party, he usually jokes about his age and wisdom. He is an accomplished Fonic Artes user, and is also good with the spear. Jade almost never shows his true feelings, usually opting to hide behind a smile. Some call him the right-hand man of the Malkuth Emperor, Peony The IX, who is Jade's childhood friend. He is also known as "Jade the Necromancer" among the Malkuth army corps and is feared by them. During a mission aboard the armored landship Tartarus, he encounters Luke and company.
He was also the inventor of Fomicry, a means by which to make replicas. Then known as Dr. Jade Balfour, Jade was a child genius. His sister, Nephry, refers to him as a "devil" who didn't truly grasp the concept of life and death. At a young age, he met a Locrian Colonel named Gelda Nebilim. Retired from the Order of Lorelei, Nebilim started to teach at Keterburg, taking Jade, Nephry and Saphir (later known as Dist the Reaper) as students while Peony watched in hiding. However, one day, Jade wanted to learn what would happen when one who could not use the Seventh Fonon acquired it. When he cast the fonic arte on himself, the experiment went out of control and Nebilim was killed. The experiment also set her house ablaze, leading the residents of Keterburg to believe that Nebilim died in the fire. He attempted to create a replica of Nebilim using the First through Sixth Fonons, but the mental deterioration caused by this method made it into a mindless destroyer. Hence, the replica Nebilim was sealed away. Following this, Jade gave up on fomicry research. Dist, on the other hand, desired to resurrect Nebilim. However, before the final battle at Eldrant, Jade did express his desire in renewing fomicry research in the hopes that replicas would be viewed as more than mere substitutes.
Jade is a blunt, logical person, not prone to mincing words when he has a point to make. He is also fiendishly clever; his use of deadpan sarcasm and off-color humor make it extremely difficult to know what he is thinking. However, Emperor Peony seems to be the only one who can provoke a reaction from Jade is perhaps the only person to truly understand him.
