Jesse Dixon's profile

His old horse Bandit, beasts that remind him of Bandit, riding, duelling,

Riding, duelling, drinking,

Magic, feeling inferior, his brother and father

Jesse was raised on Old Peak Ranch in the western town of Stagstone nestled in the Arizona territory. He spent his childhood tending to his fathers cattle alongside his older brother, Jack. He and his brother never saw eye to eye, and this only amplified in their teenage years as Jack began to follow in the footsteps of his father, gaining himself a reputation of being a bunko artist.

Jesse always had a true connection with the animals that surrounded him, particularly the horses. He soon became the towns bronc buster, being the only young cowboy able to tame the wildest of beasts. His horse, Bandit, served as his only true friend.

Things took a turn in Jesse’s life after his father and brother became involved with a group of outlaws called the Wild Hog Raiders, resulting in an altercation between the ranch and the gang regarding water supplies. After Jack was challenged to a duel, Jesse was able to miraculously redirect the bullets with a swift movement of his hand which was witnessed by an array of onlookers.

Jesse was soon subject to a vicious attack from the gang members, resulting in a permanent scar across the right side of his face. Once word got about the town of his magical ability, Jesse was ambushed, becoming an outlaw himself due to being pushed out of town on accusations of witchcraft. Something that was still deeply feared in the old west.

Jesse quickly got the nickname Dusk Rider, due to only ever appearing after nightfall. After some months of hiding in the shadows, he headed east with Bandit, travelling as far as his horse would take him over the course of many months. Strange occurrences seemed to follow him everywhere, chasing him out of town after town.
Eventually Jesse reached a port, and feeling like he had nothing left for him in America, he said a painful farewell to Bandit and got on a boat to England.

Arriving in the UK, Jesse was staying in a small inn at the port town of Dover when an owl flew into his window. Startled and afraid, Jesse fired a shot at the bird, thankfully missing it and finding his Hogwarts letter dropped on his windowsill. The innkeeper heard the gunfire, and confiscated the weapon immediately, leaving Jesse without a gun for the first time in his life.

Jesse began at Hogwarts in his 7th year, and was sorted into Gryffindor house.

Jesse has a natural charm about him, but is utterly clueless about magic. He speaks and acts like a generic cowboy, is very friendly while staying cautious. He considers himself a gentleman.

Jesse has warm brown hair that is often styled and swept back. He often covers it with a hat. Jesse has eyes that appear hazel but can sometimes be grey in the light. He has a large scar under his right eye running across his cheek. He is of large build and is quite tall. He does not like to follow uniform rules, and will wear a red bandana instead of his tie, and keeps his wand in a holster.
