## Biography

### The Clone Wars

#### End of the Clone Wars

When Fives and Rex became convinced of a plot against the Jedi and the Clone Troopers to be used in this plot, Jesse was contacted by Rex. After being convinced by Rex through showing of his own inhibitor chip and a scan done by AZI-3, he agreed to have his own chip removed. Together with Rex, he began a crusade to find other likewise minded Clones that would remove them.

**HotS** - Jesse served with the 501st Legion aboard the Tribunal and he took command of the forces after he assumed Rex was killed in action. He hunted down Ahsoka Tano and was called to a medbay where one of the Clone Troopers found Rex to be very much alive. As he arrived there, he and his men cornered the rogue Clone Commander and the Jedi, leaving them no way out.

**HotS** - Jesse and his Troopers were unable to stop Rex and Ahsoka and their ally droids, and in the process was stunned and knocked out by the droids. While unconscious, his command was taken over by Sergeant Cobalt, but Ahsoka and Rex worked on removing Jesse's Inhibitor Chip. After he woke up, he revealed he ordered the shuttles in the hangar to be disabled and the only way out would be a starfighter and the three of them agreed, planning an escape from the Tribunal.

**HotS** - Jesse, Rex and Ahsoka make their way through the Tribunal to the hangars and are helped in this by the Droid allies. Unfortunately they lose one of them and after hearing some chaos somewhere else, Jesse learns from Ahsoka and Rex that Ahsoka had released Maul as a distraction to sow chaos for Ahsoka to escape the Clones. While forgiving that it turns a bit sour after they find many Clones dead on the hands of Maul. They make their way to the hangar, but encounter a large force of Clones led by Cobalt stopping them from getting to transports of the Star Destroyer. Ultimately, Ahsoka gives Rex and Jesse a chance to get to the lower deck and secure a transport out of there by facing off against the Clones herself.

**HotS** - Jesse and Rex faced off against the Clones led by Cobalt to get to two fighters that could get them out of the Tribunal. Rex and Jesse make up a plan to get to the BTL-A4 Y-Wing Starfighters, with Jesse blowing up parts of the hull blowing Troopers out of the ship and giving them a way to the Y-Wings. As the Tribunal goes into freefall towards the moon below, they launch the Y-Wings succesfully and manage to get Ahsoka Tano aboard as well. When they land the Y-Wings, they bury the Clones and they disappear into the desert of the moon, making themselves disappear from the radar of the Empire.

##### The Call

He joined Rex when the latter refused to execute Order 66. He took out the Clones who assaulted Jedi Master Coleman Czaj and then escorted Master Czaj to a nearby Nu-16 Diplomatic Shuttle to get him off Naboo. Finding out the shuttle was protected by a group of Clones that did answer to Order 66, they made plans to take the shuttle peacefully.

Jesse proceeded to take down the guarding trooper squad with Lock when Rex acted as bait. They almost completedly succeeded, until one of the Clones decided to trigger a distress signal that was recieved by the Molisher. Jesse and Starr split up from Lock and Rex and Master Czaj and left on ZX-4 Speeder Bikes.

He and Starr were travelling by speeders through the landscape of Naboo when he recieved new coordinates from Rex. Going there, they were soon chased by one of the LAAT/i Gunships send by the Molisher. They managed to shake him off and destroy it and travel on. They finally arrived first at the outpost and led the raid on the outpost taking down the platoon of malfunctioning B1 Battle Droids there but preserve their leader's datacore.

Using knowledge gained from the datacore of OOM-19 Jesse and Starr managed to unlock one of the nearby Transport Shuttles. Before they could get underway however a group of LAAT/i Gunships bombarded the outpost and decimated their final chance of getting of the planet that way. Rex orders Jesse and Starr to take Master Czaj away. Their faiths remain unknown however when Rex notices explosions near them.

##### The Delta Chase

Together with Starr, Jesse set a trap for the Clone Commandos of Delta Squad, hoping to catch them by surrpise. It was them however who got surprised as the two Commando's got help from their other team members, while they had hidden Master Czaj. They were overpowered and brought onto the Molisher.

Jesse and Starr were brought before Sergeant Barone and Fortofive, and Barone ordered for Jesse and Starr to be seperated. Jesse was interrogated by a different interrogator and was returned to his cell later. They escaped however when Starr boke him out with Mawe and they returned to Naboo.

While travelling back to the surface of Naboo, Jesse began noticing odd similiarities in behavior between Lock and Mawe.

Approximately sixteen years after the end of the Clone Wars, Jesse was found as an Imperial instructor at the Imperial Academy on Lothal. Here he was seen introducing a new group of recruits to the Academy. He was unaware however that a Lothal rebel named Ezra Bridger had infiltrated the group.

Jesse continued to lead the new recruits through training exercises, even noting that a few cadets were excellent. Those were taken apart by the Grand Inquisitor.
