Jett

## Main VALORANT wiki's article

Jett is the 10th Agent to join the VALORANT PROTOCOL. She is a South Korean Radiant with powers that allow her to control the wind.

## Lore

Jett is of South Korean descent. She was the 10th Agent to join the VALORANT PROTOCOL, and is among the youngest of its members.

Jett is often regarded as having a 'toxic' attitude towards people. She prefers to do things her own way, without relying on a team, and is greatly confident in her own abilities. Jett's immense self-confidence can come across as arrogance, and feel as if she is disregarding her comrade's safety, however her voice lines indicate that she is opening up to those around her. They suggest that she does care for her friends, but doesn't know how to show it.

Jett's Radiant powers allow her to control the wind, using it to propel herself, other objects, and levitate to a degree. While she usually uses her powers in a straightforward manner (such as summoning a gust to propel herself upwards with her *Updraft*), we see from her select animation (in which she levitates one of her daggers in the air and twirls it around) that she can exercise much finer control over the wind when needed.

It is also implied, from her *Mirrored Edge* Playercard and Fade's dossier about her (see below) that she once summoned a massive storm over the city of Seoul. That particular incident seems to have happened prior to Jett's recruitment to the Prtotocol. Before her time with the VALORANT Protocol, Jett used to be a chef, working at a restaurant in Seoul. However, at some point, that restaurant got destroyed due to a severe wind storm (the same one mentioned above), assumed to be caused by Jett herself. In a Playercard found in Episode 7 Act II battlepass called *VERSUS // JETT + JETT* , more context is offered regarding this incident. The card in question clearly depicts Omega Jett attacking Alpha Jett with her kunai knives while alpha Jett is in her restaurant work clothes holding kitchen knives leading to the possibility that the altercation between the two was what caused the storm and Omega Jett's attack was the catalyst for it rather than it being a random accident or a case of uncontrollable powers.

### Omega Jett

Jett's Ω-Earth counterpart has played a significant role in the game's story, probably being the most featured of all the Omega Agents. She was present in the *DUELISTS* cinematic, acting as the primary antagonist. Her success in planting an early version of the Spike caused Venice Rising, and the formation of the maps Ascent and The Range as a by-product.

It is important to note that, while α-Jett had indeed been hired into the PROTOCOL before the *DUELISTS* cinematic took place, she and Phoenix had still not met - this was because, at the time, VALORANT operated differently, focusing on solo missions instead and with limited transparency (for more on how the VP functioned in its earlier days, see the VALORANT PROTOCOL page). Because of this, Phoenix was completely unaware of her existence, which is why he didn't hesitate in chasing her down during the mission (despite not being aware of the existence of the Mirrorverse at this point either).

This event resulted in Jett's image being plastered on the news across the world, causing α-Jett to be shunned and rejected by everyone close to her, believing that she was the one to blame. This conflict causing her to be perceived as guilty, despite being truly innocent, is one of Jett's primary character flaws (as illustrated by her Dossier, see below).

Ω-Jett has had a recurring role in multiple cinematics after *DUELISTS*. She was seen at the end of the *DUALITY* cinematic, where she antagonized Ω-Phoenix for failing his mission and letting the Spike get defused. She was also present in the *RETAKE* cinematic, working with Ω-Viper and Ω-Cypher to defend the Spike from being defused (which she ultimately failed at, getting killed by Yoru). It was later confirmed that this was a 'permanent' death, and that she was revived later. Finally, she also made an appearance in *REVELATION*, first present in the plot sequence at the Korean Restaurant, and then again in the final shot as one of the Agents sent to fight against α-Harbor and α-Astra.

Ω-Jett has also played a major role in Pearl, helping defend the city from the rising tide before the dome was constructed. This is shown in the *Garden of Heroes: Jett* playercard.

Her actions as one of the saviors of the city also earned her a statue in the Garden of Heroes, visible from Pearl's defender spawn, along with an announcement dedicated to her which plays when near there.

 ***Garden of Heroes: Jett***
The *Garden of Heroes: Jett* card shows Jett's part in protecting the city of Ω-Lisbon, by summoning winds to push back the oncoming waters and making way for the citizens to escape.

### Radiant War

Not much is known about Jett's actions in the Radiant War, but it is implied (from her buried Kunai in the *VERSUS // KAY/O + Brimstone* Card, see below) that she died there.

 ***VERSUS // KAYO + Brimstone***
The *Versus // KAYO + Brimstone* Card shows KAYO and Brimstone standing back to back, guns raised. Brim's beret is purple and has a different Symbol, and in general he looks older. The card is assumed to set in the Radiant War. In the foreground lies one of Jett's Kunai, lying in the dust.

### Dossier

Main article: Agent Dossiers § Jett
Fade released a dossier about Jett in Patch 4.07:

Jett's dossier focuses on her abilities and the impact she has had on the world.

The blackmailer states how Jett is always on the run, even though she is innocent. She states that she was affiliated with a restaurant that was destroyed, implying that she caused the storm that did it.

In reference to the events of *DUELISTS*, Fade mentions the blame of the Rise of Venice fell on α-Jett, as people were unaware of the existence of Ω-Earth. Her face was on the news worldwide, she was labeled a "dangerous radiant", and those close to her were afraid and disappointed.

## Appearance

Jett's armor has multiple symbols associated with wind, such as the swirl on her right shoulder pad. Her jacket features a stylized depiction of a *Tailwind* through some clouds. The icons on the backs of her gloves are the same as the one on the lip of her hoodie and bottom edge of her crop top. A sash and two Kunai can be seen along her right hip belt. Jett's shoes have a triangular whirl on the outer side of the heel and a smooth "V" stamped on the back heel.

When using her Radiant powers to manipulate the wind, glowing blue swirls wrap around Jett's arms, as seen in game and in the cinematics. The *RETAKE* cinematic depicts Jett with long sleeves, however this is currently not a feature in-game.

One of Jett's most distinguishing Features is that she is canonically the second shortest Agent, with only Neon being shorter than her. This cannot, however, be clearly noticed in game, since all the player models have been altered to be the same size for gameplay balance reasons.

## Relationships

  **Sage**
Sage comments, on killing Jett, how she lived a "Brief, Tragic Life". It is very possible that this line hints at a dark, sad past that Jett may have had to struggle through, but at the same time it is also likely that it is simply Sage's nature as someone who is caring and empathetic, and would see anyone's untimely death as tragic.

  **Phoenix**
Jett and Phoenix build each other's confidence and have a friendly relationship in game. These two encourage each other to do their best through their banter and joking nature. Through various voice lines (such as complimenting clothes and physical appearance) it is implied there is a more romantic relationship between the two.

  **Raze**
Jett and Raze have a very amiable relationship. They share similar personalities and aggressive fighting styles, and they frequently compliment each other.

  **Neon**
Neon and Jett have a friendly rivalry, as they both are Agents whose abilities and fighting style designed around speed and maneuverability.

  **Fade**
Jett, assumedly along with most other members, is dissatisfied with being asked to work with Fade, since she had recently doxxed and blackmailed the entire PROTOCOL. She voiced her concerns about this to Brimstone in an Email, visible in Brimstone's Office in Patch 4.07.

## Notes

* Jett is the only Agent to have three different dev codenames, which are 'Woosh', 'Wushu', and 'Hawk'.
* Jett's VA, Shannon Williams, has claimed on Twitter that Jett is Korean-American. However, Riot ParmCheesy confirmed on December 12th, 2022 in a small QnA on the VALORANT Lore // Art server that Jett is fully Korean, not Korean-American.
* Shannon has also said in a Twitch stream highlight that Jett's voice was supposed to be Korean-British, but that didn't "sound beautiful" according to the directors, causing a change to her current Korean-American voice.
* In a scrapped voice line, Jett says she wishes that people would stop thinking that 'what happened to Venice' was her fault. This would later line up with the reveal of Omega Earth.
* In a removed voiceline, Raze referred to Jett as 'Joon-Hee'. This has been retconned, with her real name being Han Sunwoo (Sunwoo Han, when Anglicized) according to her dossier.
* As with every other Agent, Jett has a Spotify playlist:
