Jesse "Jed" Diaz Sheska

Jed is a philosopher, warrior and owner of the Wan Shi Tong Cafe and Bakery.

Jesse was the fifth son of the Sheska family, a wealthy family from a town near Omashu. Jesse left his home at the age of 14 due to always getting treated the worst in his family. He has seen almost all places at the continent of the Earth Kingdom. During those travels he got taught some martial arts by three different masters, each one a month.

In the last fourth of his travels he decided to enlist as a guard and mercenary for the trading caravan of his older cousin Melanie "Mel" Sheska. This time is considered by Jed the time he killed the most bandits in his life, due to him purposefully hunting down and neutralizing bandit encampments located near roads. Due to him being a non-bender, he didn't had the option to confront most enemies face on and instead relied on stealth kills.

After some time he decided to split paths with Mel and settle down at Ba Sing Se where he tried to enlist as a city guard but failed because he was rude to a high-ranking member once. He helped out at a hospital after the monorail incident but had to go jail for 2 months after assaulting a criminal.

After he got released from jail he took up a job as a janitor at the crash-inn but left after gaining ownership of the Wan Shi Tong Cafe at the middle-ring by luck. He was working there alone for the first 4 months and has renovated the backroom of the cafe to make himself a home there after his apartment got blown up and then decided to hire Kar, a old water-tribe woman as a barista. Now he has got more time and decided to adopt a child from the orphanage.

Around a month later he bought a bankrupt bakery at the lower-ring and named it the Wan Shi Tong Bakery.

Jed is hiding his real name to everyone so he wont be associated with the Sheska Family which he himself refers to "a greedy group of bitches and fat bags".

Now he is still living in the backroom of the Cafe together with his daughter May while practicing almost daily at the arena, trying to match the fighters of Ba Sing Se but failing. He is suffering under a mental sickness wich makes him hear voices in his head but he still manages to stay sane. He is single and intends to stay that way because he fears to be a disappointment to all people close to him.
