==Background==
Jesse was a Choctaw shaman, and was one of the first people the powerful Gangrel Inyanga met after she rose from torpor in the new world. She found a kindred spirit in the young Indian, and embraced him to be her guide in the new world. For a short time they travelled together, but Jesse became concerned about the white man's war on his people. He chose to follow their migration to Louisiana, while Inyanga headed north.
With Jesse's support, the Choctaw did well for a time in Louisiana. Unfortunately, in 1844 Jesse got into a fight with some mysterious Gangrel (in fact Ahrimanes) and was driven into torpor. By the time he awoke, the Choctaw were destroyed as a people. Bitter, Jesse wandered the wilderness for decades. At last his hatred of the Europeans was so great that he returned to civilization, this time as an avenging angel. Again, other vampires countered him, but this time they drew him into their society, rather than trying to slay him.
Accou and Annie had recently driven out Alejandro, and appealed to Jesse as fellow non-Europeans. They directed his attention to the newly formed racist groups like the KKK, and he vented his rage there for a time. Starved for some company, Jesse began to spend more and more time with Annie, and eventually they became lovers. Jesse's rage against the white man slowly ebbed. When Annie's ghoul Marie Laveau was embraced by the Tremere Bristol, Jesse immediately returned to New Orleans to help her fight. Even after Accou, whom Jesse still respected, brokered a peace, Jesse didn't feel safe leaving Annie to face the city alone, and stayed.
In the city, Jesse was forced to adopt more typical vampiric ways. He made a few ghouls, cultivated a herd, and even embraced a childe of his own to help counterbalance the number of Tremere, Ventrue and Toreadors in the city. Without quite realizing what was happening, he became enmeshed in the politics of the city, taking a place among the elders of the city. He is still fiercely protective of the land and its native people, however, and sometimes takes violent action against the more environmentally destructive industries.
