Origin

• Jesse lost both parents in a car crash caused by a drunk driver when he was just four months old. He was raised in Havana by his paternal uncle, Paco, and his grandparents. He spent most of his childhood playing football in the streets, where his passion for the game began.
• The family ran a small restaurant and bar in Havana. Jesse often pitched in. Mostly in the kitchen, helping prep ingredients and wash dishes.
• At fourteen, Jesse moved to Chicago to live with his older cousin Luis, Paco’s son. Paco believed Jesse would benefit from better athletic programs and schooling in the U.S. He also hoped the move would open doors for Jesse’s football future; opportunities that simply didn’t exist in Havana.
• In Chicago, Jesse’s talent stood out. He was spotted at school try-outs and joined a competitive youth club, quickly making a name for himself. At seventeen, he was recruited by the Red Jackals. By twenty-one, after a falling-out with the team captain, he transferred to the Chicago Golden Panthers.
• Jesse has had a few relationships, but none lasted. His fear of abandonment and attachment issues made it hard to trust. His most recent breakup happened after his boyfriend became controlling, trying to isolate him from his friends and dictate his schedule.

Residence

• a two-story home with a large garden he shares with Luis (has gym equipment in the basement)

Connections

• Paco Delgado, Cuban, Uncle: Jesse loves his uncle and calls him “papa”. He still visits him regularly in Havana. Jesse is thankful for all his efforts in raising him.
• Luis Delgado, Cuban, Cousin: Jesse views his cousin more like a brother. Thanks to their age gap, however, many assume Luis to be Jesse’s father. Jesse doesn’t really mind. Luis has a restaurant business, too, and Jesse often eats there or hangs out. When it’s busy and Jesse has time, he helps out.
• Andrej Lupu, Czech, Best Friend: Jesse met Andrej in school after moving to Chicago. Back then, they were both considered outsiders by their peers. They were partnered up for a science project by their teacher, during which they bonded over their shared love for sports. Andrej also joined the Red Jackals and left together with Jesse when he switched over to the Chicago Golden Panthers.
• Luke Newman, American, Ex-Boyfriend: Luke was Jesse’s last partner. They considered moving in together but then Luke grew obsessive and controlling. Jesse tried to work through the problems with Luke, even suggesting therapy, but gave up after Luke assaulted him with a bottle. Jesse has a restraining order against Luke, but Luke sometimes still shows up outside the arena. Jesse is mildly scared of Luke.
