He is from my AU (currently referenced as 'BAD AU' until I settle on a title) where the Lamb is a cruel new god, seeking revenge against the Bishops for the genocide against the Sheep.
He was born many, many years after Bishop Leshy was defeated and entered the cult when he was a young teen. He's only ever known horror stories of the Old gods and the Bishops, now he considers his life of indentured servitude as a blessing, considering the monsters he encountered before being saved by the Lamb.
⚠️[More under the cut, as this AU has intentional dark themes]⚠️
He is quite conditioned to his role in the cult, as a farm hand with barely enough food to get by to the next day. He knows he is miserable, but he is too afraid of what's beyond the safety of the walls to even think about trying to run away.
He meets Leshy when the Lamb hangs him up high on a cross, as their new farm scarecrow. Jaune is given the task to water him daily, so that he will not die and will suffer the heat of day and the cold of night...
...but Jaune is a kind fellow and feels pity towards Leshy. For the first time since joining the cult, he disobeys his leader and sneaks food, gives more water and provides him with a hat, also some covering... since... the Lamb apparently really wanted to add humiliation to his suffering by having him strung up naked to the world.
Eventually, the Lamb gets bored (or notices Jaune's concern... and he's never had trouble from the yellow cat before) so Leshy is freed and Jaune automatically takes it upon himself to guide him into assimilating into the cult.
Soon after Leshy becomes another farm hand, working beside his 'seeing-guide' cat, they hear about another Bishop entering into the village... and the both of them decide to work together to intercept in the Lamb's next cruel game with Heket.
(And yeah, they gradually gain feelings for each other and yay i love leshycat ship 🥰)
