Changes: Norma "Meltdown" Jessop

Revision as of 19:06, 20 June 2020

A mercenary hireable from A.I.M., first appearing in Jagged Alliance 2.

Official description

"Don't mess with Meltdown. She may be smiling in her file photo, but that smile is certainly deceptive. This mercenary is legendary; an enemy once died at her feet from fear before Meltdown had even raised her weapon. As for her taste in weapons, the bigger, the better. In fact, Meltdown has a tendency for overkill in virtually every aspect of her life. Jessop is remarkably ambidextrous; she can easily fire two weapons simultaneously. " A.I.M Dossier

Additional info

A foul-mouthed, kickass woman who could clear a bar in no time.
You'd shake in fear just looking at her.
Loves violence and killing.
Generally misanthropic, and has especially little time for cowards. Admires Rothman for his ability to instil discipline, and Rothman appreciates her no-nonsense attitude.
