The dawn of the 20th century! The small European city-state of Gallery is a place of science, diversity, and wealth... but it's also held in the clutches of a corrupt wealthy elite that is squeezing it for all it's worth. But what of the mystery man who's been exposing their secrets? Dressed as a grinning devil, capable of feats of great acrobatics, able to make lamps or pistols explode with a snap of his fingers, he effortlessly steals the evidence of their crimes and passes it to the press, revealing their sins and driving them to ruin. Named Lavender Jack by the newspapers, he drives Gallery's elite into chaos as he ruins them one by one. In desperation, the mayor calls in the world's greatest detective, Theresa Ferrier, to unmask this vigilante. But will she side with the law, or with justice? And why do playboy dilettante Mimley Bastrop and his quiet but sharp-witted maidservant Ducky seem to have such a keen interest in the proceedings?Lavender Jack is a webcomic about a dashing villain, a great detective, and what happens when they collide in an alternate historical setting full of scheming nobles. | |

| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_101500e | comment |
Beneath Notice: A huge part of Jack and Ducky's plans is getting intel from servants who think they're just casually gossiping with other servants, making it a twofer. The nobles don't realize their servants know and tell so much, and the servants themselves don't realize one of their own might use that information. | |

Hero Antagonist | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_1501e2dd | comment |
Hero Antagonist: Detective Ferrier seems wary of becoming this, as she doesn't really see Jack as doing much that is wrong. She even lampshades this to the mayor, noting she can only earn her commission, not right any wrongs outside it. Eventually averts it altogether by joining forces with Jack once the Hawthornes start to get serious. | |

Dread Zeppelin: In Season 3, Gall and Lady Hawthorne have constructed a massive airship, the "Hero of Gallery", to convey Project Postscript to the frontline. Gall calls it the largest airship ever built, and it's clear from the shock and awe on the faces of the citizens of Gallery who watch it hover over their city that it's a fearsome craft indeed. | |

Hidden Depths: Lord Hawthorne reveals some when Van Lund taunts him with them: he stays away doing his jungle fights to keep himself mysterious and fresh in his wife's eyes, to a mastermind like her, someone who's an almost entirely silence brute could grow old very quickly. Essentially, his hidden depth is that he's aware of his own lack of depth. | |

Gratuitous French: Theresa occasionally uses this. Averted with Margeurite, who only speaks French, which is rendered between brackets to indicate it when she speaks or someone else speaks it to her. Lady Hawthorne accuses Theresa of invoking the trope to appear a bumbling foreigner. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Theresa reasons that Lavender Jack's method of causing pistols to explode is related to affecting the gunpowder, and so confronts him with an unloaded gun. As predicted, he can’t make it explode, showing the limitation of his ability. She also gambles that her slowing him down while chased by pursuers combined with the fact that he's never even tried to kill anyone will mean he won't kill her, and is right again as he chooses to flee instead. | |

| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Later on in the series, some of the incidents are gone into more detail, namely the Unnamed Fraternity in Season Two and the Crown Family of Pilaf in Season Three, but in their place even more Noodle Incidents have occurred, including all of Lavender Jack's escapades in the two years between Seasons One and Two, and the forty-six assassins and dozens of criminal organizations Mimley and Ducky defeated in the three years between Seasons Two and Three, to say nothing of the fact that the end of the series makes it abundantly clear that Lavender Jack is not done by a long shot. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty: While Sir Mimley's initial motivation for becoming Lavender Jack was to avenge his murdered lover, many of his acts of Jack involve exposing the misdeeds of the wealthy elite of Gallery, who in turn do everything they can to avoid the consequences of their actions, causing much of the conflict within the story. | |

Central Theme | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: A major element of the story is "consequences", as nearly everything that happens in the story (from Lavender Jack's creation to the Black Note's plot) are a result of the corrupt actions of the wealthy upper class, with our heroes making sure those actions will bite those villains in the arse. Similarly, our heroes' actions have consequences of their own that they will have to face (such as Sir Mimley and Ducky acknowledging that they will have to atone and face judgement for using and manipulating many good people in their revenge plot). The story also touches on how those in power will do anything to avoid the negative repercussions for their actions, no matter how many people are hurt or worse in the process. | |

Ruritania | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_60cc14ba | comment |
Ruritania: The nation of Armoria seems to straddle the line between this and an alternate history Austria-Hungary. They were the aggressors in the Platinum Wars, and an early story arc focuses on Jack stopping the indefinite detention of Armorian refugees. An overarching plotline in season two revolves around a potential war between Armoria and France. By season 3, it's blossomed into a full World War, and has pulled Gallery into the conflict as well. | |

Villain Protagonist: Jack aka Sir Mimley, when the narrative focuses on him, as he's basically a vigilante breaking into the homes of the wealthy and powerful. He shares the lead with Detective Theresa Ferrier, who was hired to find and arrest him. Downplayed, if not outright averted, as he's not exactly robbing nice people, and his motivations are to avenge his lover, an innocent man who was killed by said wealthy and powerful. | |

Corrupted Character Copy | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_922ec657 | comment |
Corrupted Character Copy: Uniquely, Lord Hawthorne is this twice. Firstly, His backstory mirrors that of Tarzan, except Tarzan was raised by a troop of benevolent apes while Hawthorne was alone from birth in a jungle full of dangerous creatures, mistreated by his fellow humans, and had his first taste of real compassion come from an amoral nun who's not above committing murder. Small wonder that he ended up carrying out assassinations for his wife. Later, he’s resurrected from the dead in a scarred and riveted form that's highly evocative of Frankenstein's Monster. | |

Revenge: Implied to be Jack's motive from the sections focusing on him, and eventually revealed as true. His friend Gio was taken advantage of and driven into crushing debt by a company of nobles led by Lady Hawthorne. Mimley believed that Gio was murdered by them, or so driven into despair by their actions that he committed suicide, and after seeing Ducky's blackmail scheme he got an idea on how to make it right. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: And Jack loves revealing it! The majority of his "crimes" are just breaking and entering to get evidence that shows many of the City of Gallery's nobility have very dirty paws. The Hawthornes are the cruelest by far—the Lady is described as "Kingpin in Pearls" and her husband is a brute who regularly gets into cage matches where people bet and lose their land to him. Ultimately subverted, as both of them were born commoners who took the title of Lord and Lady Hawthorne for themselves. Lady Lackshore, the first "victim" of Jack's, is found to have built her hotels on stolen property, and her charity venture is an absolute scam to boot. Averted with Jack himself, who Theresa quickly deduces is also a noble and is revealed to be a nobleman seeking revenge for a fallen friend. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: In Season Two, The Duchess Okoyo is the leader of the Unnamed Fraternity that kept power in Gallery long before the Hawthornes came along, and villains like George van Lund and the Black Note himself were empowered or created through her. However, by the beginning of Season Three, two years after Lord-Mayor Gall makes an alliance with Lady Hawthorne, Okoyo has come to recognize Lady Hawthorne's supremacy over her and gives her connections and power in order to keep what's left of the Unnamed Fraternity intact. | |

It's Personal: Near the beginning of Season 2, it was already clear that Lavender Jack would to stop the one behind the airship explosion (the Black Note) because of the threat they presented. What made Sir Mimley want to flatten the Black Note was speaking with Lizzy, the innocent rookie pilot that was unfortunate enough to have caught in said explosion due to the machinations of the Black Note, in her painful last moments just before she passed away, becoming the face of the villain's victims in Mimley's mind. | |

Eye Scream | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
Eye Scream: Not one, not two, but four villains have a missing eye in the series. Lord Hawthorne, after getting hot coals thrown in his face. The Black Note, whose entire right side of his face is scarred beyond recognition as a result of the war between the Fraternity and the Investment Company. Sister Rex, whose left eye was cut out by Lady Hawthorne when she saw what she did to her husband. And finally Endo Gall, who loses an eye completely to shrapnel mere chapters before his final demise. | |

Alternate History | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Set in the early twentieth century in the fictional city-state of Gallery, which was founded by peoples of multiple nations seeking to live in peace with each other. America still exists, and some of the nobility are noted to have traveled or stayed there at various points, as does France, where Theresa and Marguerite are from. Gallery seems to resemble the Victorian Era in many respects, but there are advances in the sciences far beyond those of that time, especially the computer and artificial intelligence Ochre. Season 3 pins down the date the story started as fall of 1913. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: The Mayor has this, and it’s deconstructed by Theresa after the ball. He's not a fan of her because she's a great detective, but merely because she was the "main character" of her stories and triumphed, just as the mayor sees himself as the main character of his own story. | |

Science Hero | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_b55e8979 | comment |
Science Hero: Mimley is a brilliant inventor and uses plenty of technological tricks in his guise of Lavender Jack. Some examples include his microwave-powered snap-explosion gloves, magnetic climbing gauntlets, sonic filters, resonance detectors, and miniaturized tracking devices. | |

Blood Knight | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_b7c53a22 | comment |
Blood Knight: Lord Hawthorne takes a flying dive straight into this trope. The only things he's been shown doing are killing people and loving his wife. He spends months at a time in South American fighting rings until his wife calls for him to come back home and take care of some loose ends. He's very much aware of how shallow his personality is. Considering he was a wild man without a name for most of his life and never had any meaningful interactions with anyone except his wife, this is very much justified. | |

Recap Episode | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_bf2412a1 | comment |
Recap Episode: Due to the format and the release schedule, some pages consist of two or more characters recounting the events of the story so far, usually under the pretense of going through the facts in the hopes of making new connections to solve a mystery. This often happens between Ferrier and other characters like Crabb (as on this page), as the detective is found of reviewing information in case new evidence or context might reveal something. | |

Power Trio | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_ca85e684 | comment |
Power Trio: Mimley, Agatha and Gio were this back in their college days, combining their talents (with mimley the engineer, Agatha the mathematician and Gio a genius theoretician) and their wealth to create the thinking engine, Ochre. This was an incredible enough achievement that they would later receive knighthoods, but would end tragically as the Inclement Investment Company would manipulate Gio (who was inexperienced in matters of money), driving into debt and forcing him to sign over his share of ownership over Ochre, an act that would later lead to his death, either Driven to Suicide in his despair or murdered by the Hawthornes to cover their tracks, faking a suicide. | |

Fight Clubbing | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_d8d0a461 | comment |
Fight Clubbing: There's an underground arena in South America where landowners bet on property deeds via hand-to-hand fights to the death. Lord Hawthorne is a regular in these arenas, but only for the fighting and not for the titles. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: George van Lund, the undersecretary in charge of Gallery’s ports whose crimes are left vague but horrible enough that he had to flee the continent? He not only returns as only member of the Investment Company still in the Hawthornes' favor but is revealed to be the primary reason for the Hawthornes’ rise to power, a retired Greater-Scope Villain who used to manipulate events on a global scale, and a pawn of The Black Note. Wow. Also of note is that dandy fellow with the moustsche talking to Abbey Quarrel in chapter two. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Lavender Jack. | |

| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_df410b77 | comment |
Decoy Protagonist: Played with. The focus of the first season is split between Lavender Jack and Detective Ferrier and their game of cat and mouse while. However, Detective Ferrier was only ever here on the Lord Mayor's retainer, so with the Lord Mayor's murder avenged and a check from Sir Mimley to pay for her wife's medical fees, she leaves Gallery for France, passing her role onto Inspector Crabb as she leaves. | |

From Nobody to Nightmare | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_e1acc872 | comment |
From Nobody to Nightmare: A few notable examples. Lavender Jack’s rise from a drunken and myopic dilettante who got the tar beaten out of him by Lord Hawthorne during their first confrontation to mask-wearing destroyer of corruption took years and Ducky's assistance to accomplish. Lord and Lady Hawthorne were once upon a time a wild man living out in the jungles and a non-landed nun administering aid during the Platinum Wars, respectively. The Black Note was once the bastard child of Endo Gall sent to an orphanage to be emotionally broken into becoming an assassin for the Secret Fraternity. | |

RashomonEffect | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_e1c22517 | comment |
Rashomon Effect: At least once per season, there's at least one page dedicated to discussing the nature of Lavender Jack and/or the current conflict involving him, usually with the participants being upper-class gossips (e.g. in season 1, a group of party goers throw out theories that Lavender Jack is the lost heir to the royal family Pilaf, a vagrant out to bring down the upper-class, a gimmicky agent used by the upper class to spice up their "games" against each other, and so on). There's also at least one mention of a "blood moon" by a specific gentleman, with the responses to this indicating that it's something he frequently does. | |

Inspector Javert | |
| Lavender Jack (Webcomic) / int_f178203a | comment |
Inspector Javert: Quite a few examples among Gallery’s constabulary. Honoria Crabb trusted the ruling class completely and refuted any accusations of their wrongdoings, but Detective Ferrier's reasoning and demeanor rub off on her, leading to her helping Jack in fighting the Hawthornes, and by season two she's pretty much become the third member of Lavender Jack’s team. Chief Justice Gall and Captain Peoria are two more straightforward examples. | |
