Jesset City is an expert technician, hollow pilot, and revolutionary with a Cipher Certification from Stel Nideo. He is a prominent member of the Oxblood Clan, Millennium Break, and the Cause.

Appearance

Jesset is a lanky young man with brown skin and loose, curly dark hair. His facecast is the actor Archie Madekwe.

He uses prostheses on his right arm, switching between an affordable myoelectric model with grip hooks and a custom arm designed for piloting his mech.

History and Involvement

PARTIZAN

He was once employed by Adamant Arms and Manufacturing, which got him a job as a support unit & on-site repairs for Oxblood in Obelle.[1] Afterwards, he became a full-time lieutenant and rising star in the Oxblood Clan.[2]

In Orzen, he briefly posed as "Jeremiah Cateye" before admitting his true identity to Gucci Garantine. While he engaged in mock battle with Broun during the joint Oxblood/HORIZON operation, Gucci used a recording of his mind to infiltrate the Palace facility. The mission solidified his status as a leader.[3] He carried his experience into Millennium Break as a radical voice, often clashing with Gucci.

After Valence died in the disastrous Nooncrown mission, Jesset blamed himself for failing to win them more material support. This led to him becoming a staunch member of the Party of the Wolf.

PALISADE

Jesset maintained his allegiance to the Party of the Wolf even after the party divisions of Millennium Break faded. In the years between PARTIZAN and PALISADE he spent time as part of Millennium Break’s leadership council. In PALISADE, he joined the Cause as the leader of Grey Pond.[4][note 1]

In "In Their Fear Pt. 1", the Stargrave demanded he (along with the rest of the Cause faction leaders) turn himself into the Pact to prevent the detonation of the stellar combustor.

Inspired by Brnine's example, when Crusade besieged Carhaix, Jesset led Grey Pond from the front and defended a supply line in a Jury model. When Clawed brought a bridge down on him, he nearly died and was rescued at the last possible second by Elle Evensong. It was implied he had not yet recovered from his injuries by "Honesty and Integrity Pt. 2".

Relationships

Gucci Garantine

Jesset has frequently worked with Gucci, and he often clashes with her. In the early days of Millennium Break he leads the Party of the Wolf, which is directly opposed to Gucci's Party of the Masque. Later, as Cause leaders, Jesset and Gucci must work closely together, though it's unclear how much enmity, if any, still exists between them in the PALISADE era.

Kal'mera Broun / Kalvin Brnine

Jesset and Broun met several times on missions; they both became part of Millennium Break because of their acquaintance with Valence.

He was upset by Broun blaming him for Valence's death and attempted to support them as best he could, even joining them in the Blue Channel's first launch off Partizan.

In PALISADE, they have become good friends who often text back and forth with lots of emoji. Brnine texted him for backup when they encountered Refrain, and Jesset looked to them for support in "In Their Fear Pt. 1".

Brnine's success in turning off the stellar combustors was personally inspiring to him, and upon their return Jesset told them he "always believed" in them, accompanying this with ambiguously flirty emoji.

Mech

In PARTIZAN, Jesset piloted a Cloud unit in his first appearance and a Yoke thereafter. In PALISADE episode 27, he piloted a Jury.
