Cynical, at best. Jess has seen the hardships of the outer rim as very few ever can. He's served an Empire for years that at times forgets its very own citizens. He lost his parents when he was but a boy. The woman he loved and thought he could trust with his life betrayed him and had him imprisoned. There isn't much about Jess' life that leans towards happiness, much less optimism. He is fiercely loyal, almost to a fault, and does not understand the concept of failure. If he sets out to do a job, the job gets done. And that's just that. New to the mercenary life, the past 3 years have taken their toll on Jess, and while he refrains when he's on a job, during his downtime he tends to lose himself in several bottles, the only way he knows to cope.
