He could possibly allude to Jack Frost. Depending on the version of the story Jack Frost was either a hero or a very sinister trouble maker. Whitley has been shown to be mischievous. It has also been hinted that he and Jacques get along (both are smiling on the family portrait and Jacques has more portraits of Whitley scattered in the mansion) and since Jacques only gets along with people who have the same goals and generally use the same methods to reach those goals as he himself it could be said that he edges more towards the latter, more common and evil variant of Jack Frost.

Another possibility is him being an allusion to Kai/Kay from the story "The Snow Queen" from Andersen. Basically Kai got a piece of magic mirror in his eyes and heart that made him see the world as a shitty place and see everybody as ugly creatures. This mirror was created by ice demons.

Weiss her mirror keeps her safe from these ice demons (Jacques), whereas Whitley's broken mirror keeps him open to Jacques manipulations. One of the only things that Kai could still see as beautiful were snowflakes, which are coincidentally the Schnee family logo and the logo of the SDC. Perhaps this could also be an allusion as to why he wants the company, because it's the only thing in the world that is actually 'beautiful' and worth it to him.

If he can't summon (no Glyphs) then it could be an extra motivation for wanting that other 'snowflake' (the SDC).

I support either of the above.

A third theory I have found is that he alludes to the magic mirror owned b the evil queen from the story 'Snow White.' Not a big fan of this one. I can sorta see why people would think this. He's Weiss opposite hence the mirror, He's kissing up to Jacques,...
