Revision as of 17:27, 6 January 2024
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.
Personality
Jesset is young—about 23 years old in the early days of Millennium Break[1]—and eager to make friends.[2] His radical politics are rooted in his working class background, and he fights for a new social order.
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.[3] Afterwards, he became a full-time lieutenant and rising star in the Oxblood Clan.[4]
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.[1] 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 (likely) leader of Grey Pond.[5][note 1]

In "In Their Fear Pt. 1", the Stargrave demanded he (along with 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 defended a Grey Pond 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". In "Reach In / Reach Out Pt. 2", Jesset attended the Cause's celebrations in the Bontive Valley, but was struggling with coming so close to death.
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 may 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.

When Brnine met Jesset during the Bontive Valley barbeque, he admitted to being shaken by his recent near-death experience. He alluded to thinking about the forgotten deaths of Gur and Valence, and wondered if "anyone will even remember us". Finally, Jesset asked if he could join the Blue Channel crew, but took it back and blamed his depression on having too much to drink.
Mech
In PARTIZAN, Jesset piloted a Cloud unit in his first appearance and a Yoke thereafter. In PALISADE episode 27, he piloted a Jury.

Footnotes
- ↑ In "In Their Fear Pt. 1", Jesset is noted by the Authority to be a person of interest along with the leaders of other Cause factions. However, in "Reach In / Reach Out Pt. 2", Austin named ⸢Wine⸣ as Grey Pond's council representative, which could suggest that Jesset never led Grey Pond, that he is busy or indisposed during the council meeting, or that he stepped down from his position at some point after "In Their Fear Pt. 1".
