The author Jacques Pierre is a nobleman, scholar and researcher with a great interest in maritime history and the evolution of shipbuilding techniques. In extension of this he is also interested and scholarly active in the research of the establishment and evolution of overseas colonies.
Specifically, he has an interest in the early development of colonies. How the ships of the period allow for the area settled to be reached and why they choose to settle the area at all.
This relates to the motivational factor of going to sea and settling across the sea in the first place. His research takes him on journeys across all the oceans of the world to study all the different shipbuilding and colonization processes of the world giving him a broad knowledge to work from.
His interests span both over places and times from the ancient to the early modern and the latest great leaps that were made around the end of the age of sail and the beginning of engine ships.
As a member of Le Club d'Aventure d'Outre-Mer he often works on projects with fellow members. He has often been seen in heated debate with fellow member Vito de la Vera over the latter's sometimes outlandish claims and ideas. But as fellow club members they also have helped each other on occasion.
Jacques Pierre is also a Chevalier Extraordinaire.
Much of his time is devoted to his research and to go on voyages across the seas. He has been known to journey in the Arctic and the Pacific.
