Jacques Dernier

Jacques Dernier was a member of an elite special unit of Allied soldiers formed in World War II known as the Howling Commandos. Dernier was a good soldier and a loyal friend, who seems to speak only French. He becomes close to the French-speaker, Gabriel Jones. As one of the Howling Commandos, Dernier was recognised as one of the best soldiers allied to US Army, and he proves to be an excellent fighter and a highly trained combatant on the battlefield, despite being quite reckless.

Captain America : The First Avenger

Jacques Dernier was a French soldier who was captured by HYDRA. When Captain America single-handedly assaulted the facility in which he was prisoner, Dernier along with his companions broke free and wreaked havoc on the HYDRA agents, coming back to US military base immediately after. Shortly after their break-out, Dernier and his comrades were invited to join a special elite squadron led by Rogers himself. Dernier, after a brief conversation in French with Gabriel Jones, happily accepted. Along with the other Howlers, Dernier takes part to every assault against HYDRA, until, during the one at Johann Schmidt's fortress, Cap goes missing in action. His fate after the events of the WWII is unknown.

Captain America & Thor : Avengers

On a mission to a HYDRA base in 1944, the Howling Commandos and Captain America stowed away on a small merchant boat, when according to his plan it is attacked by a HYDRA sub, the Leviathan, as it is a perfect test target. While they are distracted, the Captain swims to the sub and proceeds to enter and attack the crew, winning it for himself and the Commandos, who anxiously wait in a raft. After finding out where the base is via map, they quietly dock in the base, and on Rogers' count they storm out guns-a-blazin', to find it completely deserted.
