Jessup

 is the leader of the Great Khans living in Boulder City in 2281.

Background
He is holding 2 NCR troops, private Ackerman and Gilbert, hostage. He also accompanied Benny who shot the Courier in the opening cutscene. 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.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas and All Roads.

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.

Behind the Scenes
When you first encounter Jessup at Boulder city he will be shocked to see the Courier alive saying:"Your that courier Benny shot at Goodsprings, your supposed to be dead!" To which the Courier can reply casually " I Got Better." Which is a nod to Mass Effect 2 where the players character Shephard "Got Better" after being blown up on a spaceship.
