It took Brian the better part of of the day to find Jean-Luc and by NO means did the two hundred plus pound Moor Cat make it easy. If Jean acted like a normal cat that might be one thing, at least then he might be predictable. But no, he had to be a Moor Cat and owned by Brian to boot which made him that much more ornery.

What makes Jean so special you ask? Well, Jean is a Moor Cat and has a special ability, that allows him to literally blend into shadows and make himself invisible to the eye. Which mind you is a literal b*tch to deal with when he doesn't want to be found. Nearly a decade ago Brian found Jean as a cub, barely two months old. Jean was in the middle of what was a battle field, just sitting there and crying out. Being reminded of himself, as he was once found on the side of a road when he first came to Rhydin, Brian took the cub and brought it home.

Thus Jean grew up with the Ravenlock Clan, and growing particularly close to Brian, Katharine DeMerwood, Mystik, and later Charlotte. As it stood Jean-Luc was the only Moor Cat in the realm, and was later joined by Sorreah, who was given to Katharine DeMerwood and Nana, who was given to Lucy Ravenlock and finally Eliza-kitty, who was given to Charlotte. While Jean being the only male was a rarity in the group, Eliza was a very special Moor Cat, since she had blue eyes instead of the normal gold hued ones. A true rarity among the Moor Cat populace.

Moor Cats are normally solitary animals and rarely are seen in anything more than a pair (Their cubs are insanely guarded), which the right guidance and training they will open to individuals and can be quite friendly and playful. A very good example of this is Sorreah, Katharine's cat who was raised along side her twins Carya Rose and Jacyn. Sorreah was not trained in the art of the hunt or used in battle as Jean was. So her demeanor is indeed a playful one, yet she is very protective of the children and Katharine. Jean, even though trained to battle along side Brian, had become quite accustomed to humans in general and developed another side to himself. He can be seen padding around the market place, and boarding house, the Sanctuary and out lying forested areas. While tolerant of humans, Jean is still very iffy around children and normally will avoid them. He is very protective of Brian, and for the most part is nearby to some degree, whether he is seen or not.

So now we have a bit of background on Jean and his kind, so now let us fast foward. Brian found Jean near Yotsuba's cake shoppe, and it was hardly an easy task. Jean had visited the Fish Monger, Mister Green Grocer, Mister Wong's Fried Rice stand, and that was just to get a bite. You see Jean was a slick cat and knew how to make friends, or maybe learned how to make people give you stuff so ya don't scare their customers away. Either way, it was a relationship based on a mutual respect. Jean shows, Jean eats and Jean leaves. Save Yotsuba, who for some reason Jean had taken a liking to. She managed to actually get Jean to wear a sign for her shoppe and parade out front.

So Brian found Jean, and quickly rounded him up. They headed back towards the Sanctuary, as Brian was about to add one area to lay claim to having Jean-Luc romp and play in it's expanse.. The room of one sister who was not home.. It was a plan that had been hatched a while ago and only came to fruition via the labour of one red haired beastie known as JenJen the Terrible. Soon it would be game on, as we would see just what a sh*t load of fresh catnip could do to a two hundred pound predator in a very closed environ.
