- Personality: Doss is kind of a quiet guy, though not really a loner. He's usually part of the group, but is content to hang around in the background. When drawn out of his shell, Doss is a positive kind of person who can retain optimism in even the most dire circumstances. When angered however, he can react with a surprising amount of rage and can lose control.
- Weapon of Choice: Military Sniper Rifles
- Combat Function: Overwatch, sniper, general fire support, squad leadership
- Brave: There isn't much that scares Doss and as such he keeps a cool head while under fire, it is very difficult to rattle him.
- Expert Marksman: Doss has a rare gift for long distance shooting. He has an eye for spotting movement at long ranges and quickly zeroing on enemy combatants while they are far from his men.
- Old: Doss is getting older, and as such is having a harder and harder time keeping up with the younger Rangers. While his experience helps close the gap, the day is coming when he will slow down so much that he will become a liability.
- Uneasy Leader: Despite being an NCO, Doss was never really much of a leader. He prefers to do what he's told and is most comfortable in situations where he doesn't have to take direct responsibility. Since his promotion to Sergeant, he had stepped into a leadership role despite his discomfort. While he is capable enough, his soldiers can sense his uneasiness and will generally look passed him to Lieutenant Harbok Mrwar or Captain Beltran Rarr for orders that they should be receiving from their Sergeant.
- War Wounds: At the battle of Yurb, Jesson Doss was grievously wounded when both of his legs were amputated by a Bryn'adul weapon. He survived the battle and the massacre of Icarus Platoon, but spent several months in recovery. Eventually he was fitted with cybernetic prosthetic legs and returned to duty as part of Beltran Rarr's new unit, Paladin Company. Despite being augmented, Doss experiences pain on a regular basis-the result of nerve damage that Silver Concord Doctors have not been able to completely treat. This leads him to be a little slower than he used to be and requires him to take small micro-doses of pain medication throughout the day to remain functional.
Jesson Doss was born on Saleucami approximately fifty-four standard years ago. As a young boy he would go on extended hunting trips with his father and grandfather. It was during these trips that Doss developed his skills as a marksman, hunter and tracker. When he was eighteen, Doss joined the Republic Army. He served for fifteen years before retiring to Saleucami as a Master Sergeant.
He would go on to serve in the Saleucami planetary militia as a part time soldier. He would get married and have two daughters. Unfortunately earlier this year, Doss' town was attacked by a group of slavers and his family was kidnapped. During the crisis, he would assist Specialist Beltran Rarr in driving off the invaders but not before the slavers had taken his family off world.
He would go on to search for them, leaving Saleucami and travelling the galaxy. When he came up empty, he contacted Beltran Rarr and was accepted into the Antarian Rangers at the newly minted Lieutenant's request. He served as the primary marksman for Icarus Platoon, Beltran Rarr's personal unit while he continued his search for his family.
He was grievously wounded during Icarus Platoon's massacre during the Battle of Yurb. Though he survived, both his legs were amputated and he was forced to endure an arduous recovery process spanning months as he was treated for nerve damage and fit for prosthetics. Upon returning to service, he was transferred to Captain Rarr's new unit, Paladin Company and promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He has served with distinction for a number of years in this role. While his search for his family continues, the length of time since their abduction makes it unlikely that they will ever be found.
