Jace took West under his wing after West's Mother, Fern, died. Jace promised to teach West about his powers and the morals the Golden Guild follows. Jace originally only attended to be a mentor to West, but as time went on Jace and West formed more of a Father-Son bond.
Went West was at one of his lowest points Jace came to him an offered a path, which he accepted. Jace was the first person West had meet that,he felt, didn't see him as his parents or as a tool to use against his parents. West originally held Jace at arms length, afraid of being used once again. but thanks to the help of the Golden Guild he realizes that not everyone is out to get him.
