    Jet Black is the closest thing to an authority figure you'll find aboard the Bebop. Formerly an agent within the ISSP, Jet quit, disgusted with the corruption he found prevalent throughout the interstellar police force. Jet now finds himself himself a bounty hunter alongside Spike and the rest of the crew of the Bebop, his beloved ship. Jet is a calm, thoughtful man, who maintains a cool head throughout the many ordeals he's found himself in since teaming up with Spike. Much preferring to tend his bonsai then to go dashing off frantically on a risky case, Jet often clashes with the more headstrong Spike, even going so far as to banish him from the ship on more than one occasion, though never for long. Jet's past is nearly as mysterious as Spike's, for the real reason he left the ISSP, as well as the origin of his prosthetic arm, remain unknown, even to Spike. As the most senior member of the Bebop's eccentric crew, as well as the captain of the Bebop Jet is perhaps the closest thing the crew has to a leader, and often acts the guiding hand behind the gang's misadventures.
