The only thing this model seems to have in common with Jem is his European look. I know many say the cover is "Asian" but no one ever told me why they think it apart from the three reasons I mentioned above.
And while the facial features would possibly fit the description from Clockwork Angel, it would probably not fit the one from Clockwork Prince.
In that book Jem's face seems to be different enough from typical Europeans that Tessa fears people might stare at him for it not just his hair; although Chinese did exist in London at the time and his face is likened to that of a woman who is apparently supposed to be Chinese.
The problem is that the guy she described in Clockwork Angel looks more like a paler and skinnier version of these: or like the male version of this woman: Maybe I am a bit naive but I doubt Victorian Londoner's would stare at such people just like that. Also Jem would probably look more like this: I read people "arguing" that the cover shows the healthy Jem, but not only was Jem last healthy at the time this book plays when he was 11 years old and Clare had described his normal eyes as black which is pretty stereotypical and probably very unlikely, because there are no black human eyes and usually half-East Asian and Half-European kids have medium brown eyes, many also have hazel and green eyes.
I thought he would make a perfect Jem. Then why does the cover look like Will? Allegedly this is the cover model: And he doesn't look like Jem either. You might say he looks kind of "Asian" from some angles: But make his hair black and give him blue contact lenses and he looks exactly like Will.
Oct 31, PM. So the Clockwork Prince model is Forrest Hoffman. Thank God for the net as I've been trying to find this out. I'm surprised the names of the models used aren't listed the books' jacket alongside the photographer. The cover art has his hair as silver, which is how Jem is described in the books. Will has very black hair. I'm surprised the names of the models used aren't listed the books' jacket alongside th The cover does not exactly match the guy on the photo.
I assumed its him because of the chin and general face shape. Pauline wrote: "The cover art has his hair as silver, which is how Jem is described in the books. And that pink skin is the same as Jem's pale white? And this well-nourished and kind of buff body is the same Jem's skinny frame? Jan 01, PM. Jan 04, AM. So why pick a model?

Jessamine believes that a lady's job was not to fight but to get married and carry out womanly duties. She attempts to convince Tessa into running away and hiding into the mundane world with her, but Tessa is scandalized and gently turns her down. At the park, they are attacked by a goblin , which Jessamine grudgingly kills with her parasol. Back at the Institute, Henry opens up Miranda's body to study it.
He finds out and later tells the others that Miranda is an automaton , merely wrapped in actual human flesh, most likely obtained from the body of the dead mundanes they had found at the Dark House. Some time later, another vampire, Lady Camille Belcourt , calls on the Institute and informs the Shadowhunters and Tessa that de Quincey has been secretly throwing parties where he tortured and killed humans by drinking their blood for entertainment, which was a violation of the Accords.
The Shadowhunters plan to expose him, but they instantly realize that they need to catch him in the act of breaking the law before making a move against him since de Quincey has been considered an ally of the Clave for so long. Camille admits that her motives for coming forward were revenge against de Quincey who killed her former lover and also to meet Tessa, who has become a famous personality in the Downworld. SHe also hints that Tessa's brother might be with de Quincey.
Will and Tessa decide that the only way they can attend the party without causing a stir is for Tessa to attend the party disguised as Camille, with Will posing as her human subjugate. Camille also says that her lover, the warlock Magnus Bane will attend the party with them for assistance.
The Enclave gathers at the library to discuss the plan, while Tessa, Will and Jem spy on them. The three learn about Benedict's desire to control the Institute. Meanwhile, in the meeting, the Shadowhunters reluctantly agree to allow Tessa and Will to infiltrate de Quincey's party, while they will wait outside for a signal—another one of Henry's inventions.
At the party, Magnus seeks Will and Tessa and they discover mysterious manuscripts in the library, which contain scribblings that indicate towards the formation of a clockwork army. However, they are forced to join the vampires in another room before they can discuss the matter further. The room is set up to host one of de Quincey's 'performances'. As per the plan, Magnus is escorting Tessa out before the first drop of blood is drawn.
However, the sacrificial lamb is revealed to be Nate and Tessa impulsively blows her cover to save him. Will summons the other Shadowhunters, who fight and kill most of the vampires. Will confronts de Quincey as the latter attacks Tessa—who was still in Camille's disguise—and Will bites him, mocking him and asking the vampire how it feels to be on the receiving end of one.
Infuriated, de Quincey tries to kill him, but Tessa fires at him, compelling the vampire to escape, while Will accidentally consumes some of the vampire's blood because of the bite. They also save Nate and bring him back to the Institute. Back at the Institute, the Silent Brothers are summoned for Nate's treatment. Noticing Sophie's indignation, Tessa brings Holy Water for Will, to help annihilate the effects of the foreign blood in his body.
However, they share a passionate kiss before Will ends it abruptly and pushes Tessa away. She leaves, hurt by his reaction, but not before noting how Will was continuously whispering a name—'Cecily'. The next morning, Tessa encounters Jessamine taking care of Nate and Tessa instantly recognizes the fact that Jessamine wished to run away with Nate as he was a mundane. She is later summoned by Charlotte where she overhears the Shadowhunters discussing her brother's fate and she snaps when she hears Will talking indifferently about Nate.
Unaware of what happened in the attic, Jem tries to cheer Tessa up and takes her to his favorite place in London, the Blackfriars Bridge. She learns about Will's heritage before they are attacked by the Magister's clockwork army. Knowing that they are overpowered, they rush back to the Institute, and almost make it, but Jem collapses before he can open the door.
Tessa manages to alert the Shadowhunters inside, but not before one of the clockwork figures smears his hand with the blood from Jem's injuries. The figure waves in a grotesque manner before retreating. Later, Jem calls for Tessa in his room, and he explains why he collapsed earlier, despite Will's protests that he not do so. When Jem was younger and living in China , a greater demon named Yanluo broke into their home and tortured Jem in front of his parents as an act of revenge against his mother , who had raided the demon's nest and killed its babies.
Yanluo tortured him by constantly feeding him a demonic drug— yin fen —that caused him to hallucinate for days. By the time the Clave could step in and stop this abuse, but his parents had been killed and. His injuries were cured, however there was no remedy to his addiction. Jem admits that his body is now dependent on the drug and he has to take some of it every day, causing his skin, hair, and eyes to pale to a silver color, for without it, his body cannot function.
He claims that he did not take any dose when he was out with Tessa, which was why he collapsed. He requested that she should not blame herself for his pain. He also tells Tessa that the drug is killing him, but when Tessa asks him why he does not simply give up his dangerous profession, he declares that "there are more things to life than not dying".
Once Nate regains consciousness, he is interrogated by his sister and the London Shadowhunters. He informs Tessa of how he had come to London to bribe Mortmain into taking him to the Pandemonium Club. Mortmain, being indebted to help the son of Richard Gray , offered a job to Nate as well.
Once Nate got into the Downworld club, he began gambling once again. Initially he made handsome money, but as he began losing, he was compelled to seek help from the "Magister", Alexei de Quincey. De Quincey demanded that Nate hand over his sister to him. Nate then wrote a letter to Tessa and called her to London.
