I fail to see how. A deuteragonist isn't an anti-Hero or neutral character by default. Rather, they are secondary main characters. They're still important characters, but not quite as much as the protagonists. In RWBY's case, Team JNPR and Ozpin would probably be considered to be deuteragonists. They're not protagonists, but they're still very important.

A true neutral character wouldn't be involved in any of this. Jacques opposes Weiss in her goals, and he therefore cannot, by defenition, be neutral. A neutral character doesn't help or oppose the protagonists or antagonists.

An anti-hero doesn't make sense either. An anti-hero is a character that can be considered good, but lacks certain traits that are considered to be heroic or has traits that are usually considered negative.

Jacques isn't a good guy and hasn't been seen doing heroic things at all, only negative. He therefore isn't an anti-hero, as anti-heroes do have some heroic traits. And considering he takes an active role into opposing Weiss, he can't be neutral.

Weiss is a protagonist. Someone who opposes a protagonist is an antagonist. Therefore, Jacques is an antagonist. However, being an antagonist doesn't mean that person is therefore also evil. For example, if your main character is a criminal, then the police officers who try to stop him are antagonists. Doesn't mean they're evil. They simply oppose the main character, which is the defenition of an antagonist.
