I asked on the TSC reddit on which characters would be Assassins and Templars from Assassin’s Creed and someone made a good point about it which is the whole idea of the Clave is to control the Shadow World and making sure they stay in control until they realize how wrong is and would try and start to change the Templar ways just Alec does.
No, but they are right????

Headcanon/hopes/dreams/fanfic idea? that Rhemann adopts Jean. Like actually adopts him.
Obviously, Rhemann is learning about Jean's trauma, and surely part of that will be him learning that Jean was trafficked. Jean never had anyone with authority in his corner, so he was left to the hellish whims of a sadistic teenager and the unforgiving, often cruel contempt of the coach who accepted him as payment from his family.
So, Rhemann advocates for Jean. News hits of Jean's family's crimes, and Rhemann throws himself into the fire to protect Jean from the storm that follows, offering Jean all the help he can to ensure that it never gets twisted that Jean was anything other than a victim, unwilling to let Jean face it alone.
Rhemann refuses to let the school bully Jean out of playing Exy because they think it's bad for their reputation. He tells the team that Jean is one of them now, and he expects them to stand up for Jean the way they would any of their other teammates if they see things getting out of hand on campus.
Finally, Jean actually begins to express his feelings, his grief, over the past five years of his life, and how alone and frightened he's been. The Rhemanns put the offer on the table, with no expectations, no strings, but it will always be there if Jean ever decides it's what he wants - to be adopted. They've promised nothing will ever change about the way they treat him no matter what his decision is, and Jean feels the familiar discomfort of the possibility of safety that seems too good to be true.
It's Renee that convinces Jean to accept it. Renee tells him that the Rhemanns sound like wonderful people, they have a reputation for being kind, and they've shown how willing they are to protect Jean. She tells him that going to California was starting a new chapter for him, but it doesn't have to be just one chapter, he's allowed to rewrite his entire book if that's what brings him happiness.
And Jean knows that Renee views her adoption as the best thing that could have happened to her. And so, after many months thinking on it and seeing that the Rhemanns truly won't pressure him either way, he says yes.
----------
Jean and Jeremy go to the Rhemanns' every Sunday for church and dinner, assuming they aren't out of town for games.
On one visit, the Rhemanns show Jean the room they made for him; they're always sure to stress that there's no pressure on him, but tell him the room is his if he ever wants to stay and of course he's welcome to bring Jeremy too. They say that if he wants to change anything, just let them know, but Jean, who is sentimental about any gifts he receives, sees a room that was filled with things that the Rhemanns handpicked just for him - to make him feel comfortable, and happy, and welcome - and the fact that this is all real hits him at once and he can't stop a few tears escaping as he lets them hug him.
The Rhemanns have a pet dog who quickly decides Jean is the best person it's ever met.
