Jesse is a character appearing as a soapboxer in Grand Theft Auto V.
History[]
Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Jesse is an impersonator of Jesus Christ.
If approached, he can be heard speaking various biblical phrases. Each of his lines is a reference to either a core Christian concept or the story of the New Testament, disguised in the form of insane or drug-fueled ramblings. He repeats several of Jesus's Parables, including The Good Samaritan and The Prodigal Son; he refers to his father as having been mean before, but changed when Jesse was born – alluding to the widely different portrayals of God in the Old and New Testaments; And he makes references to the Holy Spirit, Mary and Joseph, the Christian Afterlife, turning one's cheek, and several others.
If interacting with Trevor Philips, they both share certain resentment to their respective father figures. In contrast, if interacting with Franklin, he'll say his father is wonderful and that he loves everyone.
Jimmy mentions him during the mission "Reuniting the Family", claiming that Jesse is among the many men his mother had an affair with.
