Little is known of Jesse’s childhood and adolescence. At some point he became a constable, and records pick up there. Unfortunately, he was soon dishonorably discharged due to his methods, which often resulted in the death of his quarry. Though his actions were harsh, many considered them justified considering the deeds of those he chose to sentence at the tribunal of his own vigilante justice.

While he had to avoid the government forever hunting him, he enjoyed the confidence and support of the people. Here he almost faded into a living myth, and only records of actions attributed to him track his movements.

Jesse came to the forefront once more however after learning of the House of Bliss and their unprecedented, organized brutality. His vigilantism soon refocused and he embarked on a personal vendetta to put a stop to the emerging madness. Through his investigative techniques he learned of the airship’s journey and objectives. In view of his particular set of skills, the expedition’s organizers were eager to include him within their ranks.
