Character Journal:estrayer Desired Canon Point: Season 2, episode 20; immediately after he's been stabbed by Valentine. Attitude Changes: Jace has discovered his true lineage - that he is a Herondale, and therefore descended from a line of Shadowhunters so highly regarded that they're compared to royalty. Having finally found his place, he at first makes some poor decisions in an attempt to please his newly discovered grandmother - who happens to be the Shadowhunter Inquisitor. She makes him head of the New York Institute. He comes to his senses, though, and seeing himself more as a soldier than a general, he chooses to pass that baton to Alec, and returns to the front lines of war. This resolves much of Jace's identity crisis, leaving him more sure of who he is and where he belongs. Though he had previously resolved not to tell Clary they weren't related, so as to avoid interfering in her relationship with Simon, Valentine takes the decision out of his hands. Clary does not react well, and the news initially pushes them further apart. Eventually they grow close again, and are often seen on missions together. By the time of the final episode, they've kissed again and as Jace is stabbed, he tells Clary that he loves her. All of this will make him far less secretive in Xist in general, especially towards Clary. He'll believe that there's no life left for him at home and this is the only chance he still has to make a difference or a life for himself. He'll be more invested in what happens here, for the sake of Xist itself and not just his own world. Proposed IC Mechanic: Voluntary. Jace will reappear in the Temple and be rapidly bleeding to death. He will be found by NPCs who will get him to a healing chamber and save his life.
