Character Profile
Jesse is a small-town minister who becomes fused with a powerful entity named Genesis, gifting him with the ability to order people to do whatever he commands. Using this power, he begins a journey of discovery and revenge across America, with the aim of forcing God to answer to His creation for His sins of tyranny.
Jesse is a loyal devotee to the Western film genre (best epitomized by the guiding spirit of John Wayne, whom only Jesse sees). He is also an accomplished fistfighter and a cunning strategist. His tragic flaw perhaps is his strict observance of his code of honor.
His name is an anagram of 'Secret Jesus'.
Assisting Jesse in his travels is his gun-wielding girlfriend Tulip O'Hare and Proinsias Cassidy, a hard-drinking Irish vampire. Standing in Jesse's way is a secret religious military organization mysteriously known as The Grail, as well as Jesse's own twisted family.

“Much of a man’s character will be found betokened in his backbone. I would rather feel your spine than your skull, whoever you are. A thin joist of a spine never yet upheld a full and noble soul.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Expecting rain, the profile of a day
Wears its soul like a hat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
