Jack Noir is the first major character beyond the four protagonists who the player attempts to name.

Jack finally became so fed up with the ridiculous costumes that he utilized an object in Jade and Jake's present to John (perhaps the Royal Deringer) to kill the Black Queen, taking the ring for himself and ascending to the throne. Jack Noir was also seen without his outfit on after it appeared to be affected by Rose Lalonde's Prototyping involving the Eldritch Princess, giving it a pink frilly skirt and a hat similar to that of the princess. He particularly despised wearing his jester's hat.

When he was introduced, Jack appeared to be a normal-looking Dersite wearing a multi-colored jacket with a spade. It should also be noted that "bec" in french means "beak", and "Bec Noir" literally translates to "Black Beak". (Resemblance to the name Jack Black is just an amusing coincidence.) Bec Noir, the name given to Jack's fully prototyped form, is possibly a play on the French phrase bête noire, meaning "black beast" literally, or used as slang for a pet peeve or something feared obsessively.

"Noir" also means "black" in French, making his full name a pun on the card game Blackjack.

A "Jack" is a face card in a normal deck of cards that ranks below the king and queen, and "Noir" is a pun on the detective film genre film noir, a possible allusion to Problem Sleuth, and Jack's alternate universe counterpart.
