Jesse Putnam

He resided in the town of Greendale, located on the opposite side of the Sweetwater River from Riverdale. He was the brother of Joe Putnam and uncle of Theo Putnam.

Early Life

Physical Appearance

Due to being bedridden for all of his appearances, Jesse was a gruffly looking man with a stumbled beard.

Personality

Due to him being a host for the demon, Apophis, none of his true personality had a chance to be revealed. Although Jesse brother believed that something snapped in him after one of his shifts at the mines, which suggests that Jesse was a mentally sane person prior to his possession. It's mentioned by his brother that Jesse used to dress up in his mother's dresses. The reason behind this remains unknown.
