Jackie Welles is a character that you very early on into the game, he was a merc from Heywood. He teamed up with your character known as V and you two as a pair were on the mission to become the legends of Night City. He is one of your earliest contacts as well as a playing partner in several missions. He was known to value family, loyalty and friendship above anything else in his life. He was someone who always had the vision and a plan to eventually provide for his own family and live in a fancy life of luxury. However that turned as he began to grow more and more impatient as this was still and elusive dream.<\/p>\n
Jackie Welles was born in 2047. When he was a child, his\u00a0father\u00a0would get drunk and beat him and his\u00a0mother\u00a0mercilessly with his belt, but when Jackie became strong enough, he returned the favor and hospitalized him, and threated to kill the old man if he returned home. His father left and was never seen again. Jackie kept his father’s belt and planned to use it on him if he ever returned.<\/p>\n
Jackie grew up in the same streets with\u00a0Misty Olszewski\u00a0and the two saw each other a lot, though they never got together. At the age of fifteen Jackie first got on a bike, and since then he has been tinkering with any that he could get his hands on.<\/p>\n
Early on, Jackie joined the\u00a0Valentinos\u00a0along with\u00a0Gustavo Orta, quickly becoming both friends. However, a near-fatal incident from getting shot in a firefight during a gang war with the\u00a0Maelstrom\u00a0convinced Jackie to leave the gang for the sake of his mother when he was 19, but he stayed on good terms with the gang and\u00a0Padre.<\/sup><\/p>\n In 2076, Jackie began dating Misty. Jackie’s mother disapproved of Misty and preferred his ex-girlfriend, Camilla, but Jackie continued to see Misty and even attempted to understand her spiritualism by making a mandala in his garage.<\/p>\n Much later that same year, depending on the\u00a0lifepath\u00a0chosen for\u00a0V by the player, Jackie will have a different introduction, with each having a different intro questline that leads into the main plot.<\/p>\n Six months later by late April 2077, Jackie and V were recruited by\u00a0Dexter DeShawn\u00a0to steal the\u00a0Relic\u00a0from\u00a0Yorinobu Arasaka\u00a0for\u00a0Evelyn Parker. During\u00a0The Heist\u00a0at\u00a0Konpeki Plaza, Jackie was fatally wounded. Although he and V managed to escape the hotel, Jackie succumbed to his wounds in the\u00a0Delamain Cab\u00a0before it arrived at the\u00a0No-Tell Motel\u00a0for the meetup with Dexter. V decided where\u00a0Delamain\u00a0should transport his remains.<\/p>\n A proud son of Heywood and an even prouder son of Mama Welles. Jackie’s stubborn – when he wants something, he won’t stop (or shut up about it) until he gets his hands on it. Jackie always wanted a lot out of life – maybe too much.<\/p>\n As a teenager, he joined the Valentinos gang, but realizing how much he was capable of – he quit. For years he hustled through the unforgiving world of merckwork, because you need more than a go-getter attitude to sit at the big boys’ table – you need street cred. Jackie’s life goal has always been to become a legend at the Afterlife and make a heap of eddies along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jackie Welles Biography \u00a0Short Summary Jackie Welles is a character that you very early on into the game, he was a merc from Heywood.
