Jesper Fahey is a Zemeni-born sharpshooter and a member of The Dregs.
Appearance
Jesper is of Zemeni nationality and has dark brown skin. He always has his pearl-handled pistols with him, wherever he goes. Fellow Dregs member Inej Ghafa describes him as being 'long and lean', especially without his pistols and remarked on how he looked like a gangly-limbed bird. Jesper has gray eyes because his father is from the Wandering Isles.
Personality
Jesper is a gambler. He is witty and sarcastic, but is friendly when he wants to be. Though Jesper has good intentions, he can be loose-tongued at times. He is good-natured, cocky, and teasing.
History
Jesper left his home country Novyi Zem to attend university in Ketterdam. However, he became addicted to gambling and quickly fell into debt to support his addiction.
He joined The Dregs soon after to cover up his gambling debts, as well as support his addiction, and became an ally and friend of Kaz Brekker. At the beginning of Six of Crows, his father still thinks he attends the university.

Powers and Abilities
Jesper is a Grisha, specifically a Fabrikator, otherwise known as a Durast. However, he has not been trained, so his powers are not properly honed and rather weak. He's also a talented sharpshooter and marksman. Wylan believes that the reason Jesper is such good shot is that he uses his powers to guide his bullets.
