Valmont

Valmont is one of the main villains from the first two seasons of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Story
Valmont was the spoiled child of a wealthy family. He learned that money could get him anything he wanted, making him grow into a greedy man. He created the Dark Hand, a criminal syndicate that worked on stealing and smuggling ancient treasures. Eventually, Valmont came across the statue of Shendu, who made a deal with him: if he and his men retrieved his talismans, which he needed to return to his original form, he would give them his secret treasure. Valmont accepted the deal. When Jackie Chan retrieved a shield from an ancient temple, Valmont sent his henchmen to steal the shield, as it contained the rooster talisman. After fighting the Dark Hand, Jackie learns about them and Valmont through Captain Black, boss of Sector 13, who was after them. Jackie is forced to fight them again, as well as the Shadowkan controlled by Shendu, but they succeed in retrieving the shield. However, Jackie's nephew Jade had taken the Talisman. Black convinces Jackie and his uncle to help him retrieve all the talismans, which sets the two groups to face each other several times. Jackie gets the upper hand, retrieving all talismans save for two.

After learning that Jackie had been split into two by the tiger talisman, Valmont convinces the evil half to bring the talismans for him, but he decides to fight them later after being convinced by the good half. They fight their way through the Dark Hand building, but Valmont succeeds in giving back the talismans to Shendu. Fully restored, Shendu betrays Valmont and runs away to Honk Kong, where his temple is located, so Valmont bring his men to follow him and steal Shendu's treasure. Jackie and Jade fight and kill Shendu, making his temple to disintegrate, along with all the treasure, so Valmont retrieve the talismans as a consolation prize, sharing them among his men to use them on their crimes. Jackie would try to stop them, at the same time that Shendu, in spirit form, was trying to possess Jackie. When Shendu is about to succeed, Valmont attacks Jackie on his back, so Shendu ends possessing him instead. Shendu forces the Dark Hand to help him release his brothers from the demon netherworld, while Valmont can't do a thing. After they fail to release the brothers, only Shendu's own portal remained, but Jackie and Uncle used a spell to send Shendu back to the Neteherworld, while Jade, who was trapped there, managed to escape. Valmont was now free from Shendu, but his resources eventually ran low, after so much travels and failures.

Valmont would later regroup with his henchmen and plan a new crime, but they are enslaved by Daolon Wong, which left him alone. Now broken, Valmont ended living on a small apartment and working as a bus driver.

Personality
Valmont is very arrogant and greedy, valuing money over all else.
