Jesse O'Connell

== Personality ==
Upon first glance (and often their only glance) people saw Jesse as an insane, homicidal, psychopathic, ruthless, sadistic, maniacal and diabolical man, hell-bent on causing as much chaos as possible, and indeed this was true. Jesse enjoyed living a care-free lifestyle, doing whatever he wanted to do with little regard for the consequences.
Jesse's care-free attitude often landed him in trouble with the authorities, leading to multiple arrests throughout his life and an extremely large bounty being placed on him. This did not deter Jesse though as he enjoyed the prospect of being hunted across multiple states, seeing it as fun.
Jesse was not a materialist, caring only for a few things, namely his hat and his guns.
Despite his insanity, Jesse was an intelligent man. Using his insanity as a mask it was easy to fool most adversaries. Jesse could easily assess any situation and plan his next moves accordingly. Escape was one of Jesse's most notable traits, as he would often vanish from prison, leaving the sheriffs clueless as to how he had got free.
== History ==
Jesse was born in Limerick, Ireland, in the 19th century. Next to nothing is known about his early life.
Jesse made his way to America during the second wave of Irish immigration to America, often credited to the potato famine. It is unknown when Jesse made the crossing, but Jesse became more active toward the end of the 19th century, near the end of the Wild West Era. Jesse's fame grew quickly and his infamy grew even faster, leading him to become a wanted man extremely fast.
Jesse's list of crimes included, but weren't limited to: Assault, Arson, Bribery, Burglary, Homicide, Kidnapping, Manslaughter, Murder, Perjury, Robbery, Theft and Vandalism.
As the years went by, Jesse's bounty grew larger and larger. It is unknown when they met, but Jesse was often sighted with a tall man known as Death.
== Trivia ==
* Jesse's favoured weapons were his Schofield Revolver's.
* Jesse owned an Arabian horse named Dakota.
* Jesse was partial to arson, most likely due to his fascination with fire.
* The name O'Connell derives from the ancient Gaelic name O'Conaill. It is likely that the name is made up of two Gaelic words; the ‘con’ part would be from the word ‘cu’ which means ‘hound’ and ‘naill’ would be from the word ‘gal’ which means ‘valour’.
* Jesse was once asked if there was anything he wouldn't do. He replied with "Your wife".
