Jacques definitely is a dick and a control freak when it comes to maintaining the integrity of his reputation and by extension his family's, as well as a hint of perfectionism that is inherent in control freaks (something Weiss has picked up and emulated before dropping it in V1).

However, I have a feeling he does have a sense of vulnerability in wishing to belong, and not just with his family. Interacting with guests, expanding and putting the family emblem on everything, lashing out of someone points out he isn't even a real part of the prestigious family he married into (being called out by one of his 3 children no less), it all screams of Citizen Kane level of "love me...on my terms" point of view (which is accomplished through money).
