Ensign Jaseb Chevalier (/she·va·lyéː/) is currently serving as Operations Officer aboard the USS Artemis-A.
Appearance
- Height: 192cm (6' 3”)
- Hair: White
- Eyes: Blue & White
- Build: Athletic / Slender
Personality
Jaseb's demeanor towards others is often cautious and reserved, as he harbors a deep-seated belief that people are inherently untrustworthy. He tends to keep his true self hidden behind a metaphorical wall, which he has erected to protect himself from the outside world. However, those who take the time to get to know him and earn his trust will find a kind, thoughtful, and empathetic young man, who is the polar opposite of the stereotypical cold, detached, and goal-oriented individuals that are often celebrated in today's society.
Quarters
Jaseb's quarters are located in Compartment 12 of Sector 07 on Deck 5.
The quarters are shared, and the second berth is currently occupied by his scientific someting-like-Nettle-or-Jellyfish-who-knows roommate Gnai, a fellow ensign facing his own strange requirements.
Jaseb currently maintains a minimalistic, spartan half of shared living space.
On his shelf, he has a few physical books made of real paper, along with a holographic altar of some kind, and his Starfleet Academy diploma and Good Conduct Medal Commendation is hanging on the wall. He likes to privately listen to Bayran music in his quarters.
Background
Jaseb was born in a remote, non-Federation, human diaspora colony located on the edge of the Tholian and Makus Sectors.
He was the third child of a family of public servants, and he had a happy childhood filled with joy and laughter. However, as he grew older, Jaseb became increasingly aware of the challenges and limitations that came with being a third-born. His planet is barren and lacking resources, and the planetary population was strictly controlled to prevent overpopulation.
Thus, Jaseb's future was predetermined from a young age - he was destined to become a pilgrim and leave his home planet to seek a better life elsewhere. After completing his primary education, he was separated from his family and sent to be educated by the Sanctum Transpoli. This transhumanistic church taught him about life beyond his planet's boundaries. While some might argue that Jaseb and others like him were conditioned to accept their fate, to him, it was an opportunity to explore the world beyond his planet's confines.
When he turned 17, it was time for him to leave his home and start his journey in life. He decided to explore the galaxy and spent the next two years traveling across the stars, trying to find his purpose in life. However, his journey was not as smooth as he had imagined. He encountered discrimination for the first time in his life based on his religion and appearance. People whispered slanders and rumors behind his back, which he found difficult to accept. Nevertheless, he learned to adapt to the harsh realities of the world and became resilient. He persevered through the challenges and decided to pursue his passions by applying to the Starfleet Academy.
In 2400, he graduated from Starfleet Academy with a double major in Intelligence and Engineering, with a focus on data analysis, extraction, and cybernetics. During his studies, he also earned a law degree and is now a registered lawyer with the Acamar Federal Bar.
After graduating, his first official posting was as an operations officer on the USS Artemis-A.
Service History
USS Artemis

|---|---|
| USS Artemis-A • Luna class • Addison MacKenzie |
2400
The mission was mostly played with alternate characters. See mission log - Both Sides Now (Artemis) - for details.
After he completed Starfleet Academy's final examination, Ensign Chevalier was transferred to the Luna class explorer USS Artemis-A in 240009. He first boarded the ship shortly after the Artemis was ordered to a deep-level sensor sweeps research mission across the Borderlands, and quickly, he got thrown into work to make the sensors running around the clock.[1] This being his first mission as the officer of the Starfleet, Jaseb wanted to make a good impression and was too eager to make an impression and came with harsh, but logic solution to the problem.[2]
As weeks onboard were coming and going, Jaseb got around the clock with a peaceful, calm life onboard. But that changed quickly when the ship's mission changed dramatically, as a group of unknown ships crossed over from another universe. First – CIC Desdemona – hailed Artemis asking for assistance, second fired (ineffectually) on the Artemis. The Artemis was then forced to respond to the hostile action, destroying the ship.
Jaseb is transferred from the Bridge to the OPS Center at Deck 5 and serves the graveyard shift, processing shipwide operation requests and energy logistics. He uses his newfound freedom to investigate his Desdemona's counterpart, Unit-J. He writes a technical memo to SFI about his counterpart's abilities, trying to impress the ship's Chief Intelligence Officer, Lt. Cmdr Talos Dakora. [3]
It was a couple of days later at the OPS Center, where Gruppie met his hero when LTCDR Talos Dakora visited Jaseb to get information about movements of the Desdemona crew and Unit-Jduring Desdemona's attempt to take over the ship. Jaseb was able to pinpoint his counterpart's approximate location and gave the information to the commander. [4] When the commander left the OPS Center, Jaseb tried to disable Unit-J, his counterpart, but failed. With the help of his boyfriend - PO3 Damien Black, SFI Computer Specialist - he finds the backdoor changes he made to his other mainframe program were deleted, and he's not able to stop his counterpart killing spree over the Artemis. [5] and decided to confront his counterpart personally.
With the help of Ens Kawarda - whom Jaseb recruited during his pursuit of Unit-J - Jaseb reached deck 15, just to find his counterpart is already dead. Altogether with Ens Kawarda engaged directly into the stalemate between Col MacKenzie (who impersonates the captain of Artemis, Capt Addison MacKenzie) and LtCdr Talos Dakora. After a short tactical negotiation, he shot Col MacKenzie multiple times, which shocked the Artemis officers due to the lack of necessity for his “overzealous” behavior. LtCmd Talos Dakora reprimanded Jaseb and put him on the bench directly in place, which slapped Jaseb out of his adrenaline rush. [6] He is kept to secure the tertiary command processors on deck 15, left to his sorrow and shame...
The Artemis spent the shoreleave near Betazed.
Jaseb reached the end of the mission in not quite the best mental state. The confrontation with his alternate self and the death of his double took a heavy toll on his self-awareness and faith. [7] [8]
During a debriefing with CIO Dakora, Jaseb began to feel uneasy when Dakora expressed concerns about Ensign Chevalier's character and mental state. Jaseb tried to remember his actions on Deck 15, which had led to his reprimands. However, his technologically enhanced memory failed him, and he was unable to recall the events due to a mix of conditioning, guilt, and trauma. His mind seemed to protect itself from the emotional distress he had experienced during his encounter with his alter-double and Shint’MacKenzie by alternating his memories about his thoughts and feelings during that engagement. [9][10]
During his debriefing with his idol, Jaseb expressed his desire to be transferred to SFI, but Lt. Commander Dakora, Chief Intelligence Officer aboard the USS Artemis, refused his request. Despite the denial, Jaseb remained hopeful. [11]
After the incident involving the apprehension of Shint'MacKenzie, Jaseb was ordered by the acting XO, Talos Dakora to undergo mandatory retraining on phaser handling under the supervision of Ensign Savel. [12] Ensignr Savel took his training to the next level by preparing for Jaseb tactical training, which involved mastering a complex rescue operation with hostages under high-stress situations. In addition to the standard test of firearm control, he learned Jaseb the intricacies of hostage negotiation, crisis management, and rapid response tactics to ensure the safety of all involved. [13] Jaseb successfully completed his training with flying colors. [14]
After arriving on Betazed for shore leave, Jaseb was visited by his colleague, Ensign Flint Kader, who served as the helm officer onboard the Artemis. Ensign Kader was being investigated for alleged collaboration with the enemy and sought Jaseb's legal advice. Jaseb agreed to represent him as his legal counsel in the case and started the legal proceedings. [15] Ensign Kader received a formal letter of reprimand, probation, and transfer to a new Starfleet installation as part of a settlement reached outside of court-martial.
Jaseb, who was dealing with his own personal trauma, was approached by Lieutenant Silveira with a special request. Silveira wanted a tombstone made for his lost love, Shint'Jo, who had been killed by the commander of the Shintverse crew - Colonel MacKenzie. Jaseb took on the project as his own and got to work on creating the memorial for Silveira's beloved. [16] Jaseb worked tirelessly to come to terms with the guilt he felt over the pain his Shint other had caused the Artemis crew. His redemption came in the form of a project - designing a stunning tombstone by combining black granite with a marble tree. Sil chose one that featured a granite tombstone wrapped around a marble tree, creating a heart between them, as a symbol of the love he lost in Jo. [17]
After completing a project involving tombstones, Jaseb was granted three days off to spend on Betazed. During his time off, he decided to visit Dalaria in order to meet his partner's parents. He was expecting a difficult situation due to both families' political connections. However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Damien's parents were accepting of their relationship. Jaseb had a lovely afternoon with Damien and his parents, and was unaware of the potential consequences that could arise from their relationship. Unfortunately, Damian's parents harbored fear towards Jaseb due to his father, and Jaseb was blissfully unaware of how much this relationship might backfire on him in the future... [18]
Pleasantly rejuvenated from his shore leave on Betazed, Jaseb returned to work just in time to accommodate his new roommate, helm officer Ensing Z'Vahme, and secure Artemis with a new ship's bosun, CPO Ral. [19], organized a fire training for the new members of the DC teams aboard the Artemis and take part in training in emergency procedures with Engineering. [20] [21]. At the end of Artemis' shore leave at Betazed, Jaseb was almost keelhauled by his superior for taking over his duties without authorization while the division commander was away. [22]
Jaseb gracefully avoided immediate punishment by disappearing back to Betazed to attend an Artemis awards ceremony at the Fifth Chalice bar in Oxeania. As the ceremony was about to start, PO3 Black found Jaseb at the Starfleet Academy Campus in Delaria. Jaseb was in a state of depression, for reasons unknown. Just in time, Black managed to take Jaseb to the Fifth Chalice, preventing anyone from noticing that Ensign Chevalier was missing from the ceremony. [23]. During the ceremony, Jaseb received the Quantum Reality Service Medal and Good Conduct Ribbon for his actions during the Shint assault at the USS Artemis. [24]
- Note that the next mission began immediately following the events in the awards ceremony.

- Alternate History (Artemis)
- Note that this mission began immediately following the events in the awards ceremony during the previous shoreleave.
Jaseb was conversing with Lieutenant Commander Dakora and Ensign Z'Vahme at the Fifth Chalice bar in Oxeania, Betazed, after the awards ceremony had ended. Suddenly, there was a loud snap of fingers, and Jaseb found herself in a completely different location and time, only with Dakora, Z'Vahme, and Savel. [25]
Relationships
Family | ||
|
Timothee Father |
Jaseb and his father's relationship was strained, as his father had high expectations but showed little interest in him as he was the third child. |
|
|
Ana Mother |
Jaseb's mother always loved and supported him, helping him become the man he is today. Unlike his father, she never saw him as a burden, despite being the third child. |
|
|
Thomas Oldest brother |
Thomas, being the first child in the family, was always given more attention and praise, while Jaseb, being the third child, was often overlooked and ignored. Thomas followed in their father's footsteps to become a Thanata, while Jacob's calling was to become a pilgrim. Their age difference of nine years was not the only thing that separated them; their social status also played a significant role in their relationship. As a result, they never developed a close bond with each other. |
|
|
Damien Older brother |
Damien was always close to Jacob's heart. They were both free-spirited individuals, unbound by family obligations and traditions. They could always be who they wanted to be, and they both enjoyed life to the fullest. |

Talos Dakora Father figure to Jaseb |
Jaseb worshiped Commander Dakora even before being assigned to serve aboard the USS Artemis. When it happened, to his displeasure as a member of OPS and not as an intelligence analyst, he finally had a chance to meet his hero in person. Ever since, he has been trying to impress him enough to accept him into his department. Some may say that Jaseb is too hard-working, too fixated, too stubborn in this pursuit. However, he knows what he wants and goes after his goals relentlessly. Dakora: ...if I ever see that again you’ll be riding back from whence you came in the brig. Understood? Chevalier: ::trying to find his voice:: Sir... aye, sir.[26] |
Friends | ||
 |
Vitor Silveira Brought together through tragedy |
Silveira had a passionate romance with Jovenan's alternate universe counterpart during Jaseb's first mission on Artemis. However, her life was abruptly cut short. The tragic event brought Jaseb and Sil closer, and Jaseb's assistance with the Shint'Jo funeral played a crucial role in achieving a shared sense of reconciliation... Silveira: I really can't thank you enough. And please call me Vitor or Sil, after all we are on down time... Chevalier: Jaseb, nice to meet you, Sil... [27] |
