But as people above said, that is the easy way out. As long as Jacques is still alive, he's still a treath in some way (he's a charismatic businessman after all) but in symbolic story telling it works because destroying corruption is never as easy as removing a single person.

Of course who kills him off changes things a lot. If Whitley is to kill Jacques, it would just be the ultimate betrayal type of thing and lifts Withley's danger levels up. Tyrian killing him could be a start of a full out faunus war in Atlas when faunus take his act as inspiration to go after their oppressors and humans lose all their trust towards the faunus. And so on Well, as I said, they can kill him at some point, but I think it needs to be after he falls from grace. I think it is ideal for Weiss to be instrumental in taking back control of her family's company and legacy from Jacques. Getting him killed and clearing the way deprives her of that growth. He can easily become vengeful and end up dead through his own actions. That is what I was talking about with a potential Grima Wormtongue-Saruman situation. How would killing Jaques stunt Weiss's growth in that department?
