Francois was born nine minutes before Jacques, making him the older brother. He was often pressured and tasked to achieve many talents and people would set high expectations of him, causing his obsession with chasing academic achievements. However, after learning that Jacques was able to catch up to him despite his own hard work, he developed hatred towards Jacques and treated him harshly. He would often vent his anger on Jacques by beating him up or spitting harsh words.
When he and Jacques are both arranged into a marriage contract with Charlotte, Francois discovers Jacques’ obsession with her and uses this as an advantage to win the competition of inheriting House Jacinthe. After learning Charlotte’s mutual feelings for Jacques, he lost control of himself to rage and forced himself onto her, all so that he could inherit the House. In the end, Francois ended up getting killed by Jacques.
Francois is a selfish and ruthless perfectionist who is willing to do what it takes to become better than his twin brother or anyone else. He dislikes being compared to his twin or being mistaken for his twin, for he wishes to be known as his own person and his hard work to be recognized. Francois is good at hiding his true self and fooling others. But like his twin brother, he lets his emotions control himself to the point of sinning.
Francois is a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes. His bangs are parted to the right. Unlike Jacques, he doesn’t have any injuries. When he commits a bad deed, his pupils turn red. He usually wears a polite and gentlemanly facade, hiding his true cruel self.
Francois wears aristocratic and formal clothing. During the ball, he wears a fully white tuxedo and mask.
Francois was often compared to Jacques so he started hating Jacques for being able to catch up with the hardships that he thought he endured himself and treats him like a peasant and slave. He would often beat and mentally abuse Jacques to vent his anger at him.
Francois never truly fell in love with Charlotte and simply thought of her as an annoyingly useless damsel. He doesn't consider her feelings as he is willing to use her and even force himself on her to prevent his brother from inheriting the House.
Francois loves his mother despite her ignorance and neglectful personality. He always obeys her and seeks to impress her with his achievements. He treats her kindly and respectfully even though she’d often mistake him for Jacques.
