Jean-Luc is a minor antagonist turned supporting protagonist in The Owl House. It is King's guardian who was created by his father, the Titan alongside multiple other golems to guard King from any potential intruders, especially the Collectors. It would confront Eda Clawthorne 8 years before the series as she sheltered within the castle, causing her to flee with an infant King in tow.
Appearance[]
Jean-Luc is a bizarre, lanky golem that appears to be made of a mixture of dark grey stone and a viscous darker grey substance. It has a boomerang-shaped head and pupil-less, white eyes with black and blue outlines. Its feet are peg-like, and while it possesses three fingers on each hand, its left hand's fingers are made of stone while two of its right fingers are made of the dark grey goop.
Biography[]
Background[]
Eons before the start of the series, Jean-Luc and its fellow golems were created by the Titan as King's guardians as he hid his last child on an isolated island to protect him from the Collectors. However, over time the inactive golems would fall into disrepair and deteriorate, leaving Jean-Luc as the only one functional. 8 years before the start of the series, King would hatch and Jean-Luc would take up duties caring for the infant Titan. However, Eda would one day arrive on the isle for shelter and hide in the island's castle from the boiling rains. Inside, she would find an infant King. This would cause Jean-Luc to target her as an intruder, causing Eda to flee with King in tow (believing him to be a stray dog). In the ensuing escape, on of Jean-Luc's attacks would crack off a piece of King's left horn, so Eda kept the horn fragment as a keepsake.
The Owl House[]
After Luz, Lilith, Hooty, and King arrive at the castle as the latter tries to prove his backstory as king of demons, Jean-Luc would begin stalking the group through the castle, revealing itself after Luz comes across the corpses of its fellow golems. Jean-Luc would attack them, but Eda arrives in the nick of time and gets the gang to escape while she faces off the old foe. Eda's wounded from the brawl but she manages to retreat successfully as the castle's barrier forbids Jean-Luc from exiting its grounds. King's confused why the guardian of his supposed castle would attack him, so Eda reveals his past, making King so distraught he runs into the forest.
Fortunately, Luz finds him and, after assuring him there's more to his memories, persuades the gang to unblock the hole in the castle's ceiling to investigate King's memory of falling. While Lilith and Hooty distract Jean-Luc with incendiary potions, Luz, King, and Eda sneak past and blow the blockage open, opening a tunnel which they flee through, the golem in hot pursuit. They enter a seemingly empty chamber but King somehow opens a door in the walls, letting them flee into a room and block off Jean-Luc. In the room, King finds an altar with eggshells and, vaguely remembering the place, reattaches his horn fragment, causing him to remember that this room was his birthplace, he has a father and that Jean-Luc was his caretaker. The golem bursts in but King quickly commands it to stop, which it does so. Now safe, King decides that he wants to find his father instead of becoming king of demons and asks the gang if they can bring back Jean-Luc, which all but Hooty refuse to, though they do so anyway.
Back at the Owl House, King gives Jean-Luc its name but it deactivates thanks to being too far from the castle. As such, it remains a decoration in Luz's room for the remainder of the series.
