—Jeego | ||
Jeego is a hitman who was tasked to kill Lynne. He shoots people at point-blank range with a golden shotgun because he cannot see very far, which earned him the nickname "Nearsighted Jeego".
Appearance[]
Jeego has blue skin, a pointed nose and black hair. He is shown wearing a black suit, a long sleeved gray shirt underneath with a red tie. He is also seen with black gloves and a fedora, like his rival.
Plot[]
Chapter 1[]
Jeego is first seen in the very first chapter of the game, where he initially is seen about to kill Lynne with his shotgun. Sissel, a ghost who is only just now waking up, is introduced to Ray, who teaches him how to utilize his Ghost Tricks. Sissel interferes with Lynne's assassination and distracts Jeego a few times, but in the end, it isn't enough to prevent Jeego from successfully taking out Lynne. Jeego is seen going downstairs and answering a mysterious phone call, telling the caller that the assassination was successful.
Unfortunately for Jeego, however, Sissel returns 4 minutes before Lynne's death. It is here where Sissel learns that Jeego was supposedly given the task to remove all traces of something named "Temsik." When asked for more details by Lynne, he states that he just does the job he's given and doesn't know anything else about it.
Sissel uses his new abilities to further interfere with Lynne's murder. This sequence ends with Sissel dropping a wrecking ball on top of Jeego, crushing him and causing him to comically roll away off-screen. Jeego is never seen again after this point, only mentioned by his hitman rival, Tengo. Although it's left ambiguous, it is possible that he survived since he was squashed in a comical fashion and his fellow affiliates don't allude, comment, or imply that he died.
Other appearances[]
Jeego appeared as a card in the mobile game Street Fighter ✕ All Capcom, as well as most of the merchandise and marketing material for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.
