Jessup

 is a Great Khans leader holed-up in Boulder City in 2281.

Background
When encountered in Boulder City, Jessup is holding 2 NCR troopers, privates Ackerman and Gilbert, hostage. He also accompanied Benny, who shot the Courier in the opening cutscene, and dug the Courier's grave after he/she was shot. He argued, albeit briefly, with Benny over the burial of Chance, whom he had watched out for since the onset of Benny's mission. Jessup was able to easily intimidate Benny into allowing the burial, as the other Khans backed his threat.

During many portions of the graphic novel he exhibits fierce loyalty to the Khans and more personally to Chance, watching over the troubled man as if he were a brother or son. It is no surprise that later in Boulder City he holds sway over them as a leader figure following the death of McMurphy.

Quests

 * Boulder City Showdown: Jessup can either be convinced to let the captives go with a speech check of 45, killed, or informed that all the NCR troopers in the area are dead.
 * They Went That-a-Way: Upon saying you're going to get Benny on the New Vegas Strip, Jessup will give you Benny's lighter, advising you to "shove it up his ass when you catch up to him."

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas and All Roads.

Behind the Scenes
Garl Death-Hand: I killed you! Vault Dweller: Yes, you did. I've come back to haunt you. Given the parallels, it is perhaps telling that the Vault Dweller could pull off this trick better than the Courier.
 * When you encounter Jessup in Boulder City, you have the option of claiming to be a vengeful ghost. This is a reference to an encounter between the Vault Dweller and the Khan leader Garl Death-Hand in Fallout 1:

Bugs

 * If you help Jessup get out of Boulder City without killing anyone (through the speech check) he will say he has a long walk ahead of him, if you meet him at the Great Kahn settlement in Red Rock Canyon, he will still say he has a long walk ahead of him.
 * You may randomly find Jessup dead near Vault 19 for unexplained reasons. This is probably due to the slight Deathclaw activity in the area.


 * If you head to Red Rock Canyon after helping Jessup get safely out of Boulder City, Jessup will attack you ONLY if you have Raul in your party. Only the Great Khans that returned with Jessup from Boulder City will help him attack; the other Great Khans that originally resided in Red Rock will not.
 * If you resolve Boulder City Showdown diplomatically after stealing the Engraved cigarette lighter from him, Jessup will give you another.
