Jean-Pierre Polnareff is a boastful, but noble and benevolent Frenchman. Polnareff would rather die than act dishonorably Polnareff's most defining characteristic is his honor. In his first insight, he purposely confuses himself while explaining his abilities and fighting his opponent. Adopting a knightly mindset, Polnareff is reluctant to run away from a fight or use dishonest tactics, although he can be persuaded if fighting an opponent he deeply hates. He is impulsive and childish.
