Cross-posted to X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, Excal: Notice regarding Jessica Jones

[xp_legion]

Some of you may remember former resident Jessica Jones from a few years ago. Yesterday Dominion and Phoenix ran into her on a recon mission involving the Brotherhood. During this encounter Jessica became injured, so she was brought back to the mansion for assessment. While assessing her injuries we discovered evidence of significant psychic tampering.

It turns out that when Jessica arrived at the mansion in 2014 she was acting at the behest of a telepath who wanted to keep tabs on the mansion. What we were up to, whether he was on our radar, that sort of thing. He pulled her out after M-Day because he didn't see a point in wasting a resource here any longer.

I've cleaned up the damage, and Phoenix and I are monitoring her recovery to ensure there are no after-effects. She also needs time to heal from her physical injuries. She may be here for a while. Please be aware her memory of the last few years may be blurry.

The telepath influencing her isn't someone we've encountered before. He can influence a large number of people at once, and the influence persists even outside of his immediate vicinity. For prolonged manipulation he seems to need to touch base with the victims every 2-5 weeks. The effect still lasts long enough to be dangerous.

Not sure how old he is -- mid-40s, possibly early 50s. He's had time to accumulate experience. Expensive tastes, but more bespoke creations than brands. Favors the color purple. Wears Clive Christian Original Collection NO1. You'll recognize it as one of the most disgusting things you've ever smelled in your life. He never pays for anything himself, but there wasn't much else that could be used to trace him.

I've attached a sketch of his face and more detail on his physical characteristics.

His name is Zebediah Kilgrave.

Just a head's up. Kilgrave is a ghost. Nothing in the FBI files or RCMP or Interpol or SHIELD. Or several other databases I'm really not supposed to have access to and could enjoy a few interesting years in federal prison for searching. Every Zebediah Kilgrave is the wrong age, place or in most cases, no longer living to match what Jessica remembers. Assume it is either an alias, or he's found a way to keep himself off any kind of paper trail; no license, passport, bank account, tax records... nothing.

You're so efficient, man. SHIELD was the only one of those I was even thinking of trying to touch with a ten foot poll. I've got some overseas contacts that might have info Interpol doesn't. Thought about reaching out, but I don't know if that'd possibly tip our hand. Thoughts?

[xp_dominion]

I'm assuming the folks at Snow Valley are already tapping into the non-official channels. I'm just going to assume that whoever this asshole is, our way to track him isn't going to be through anything institutional, so we should focus on the less orthodox avenues.

[xp_hawkeye]

Ah, SV. I never actually forget about them, but my brain defaults to personal contacts.

[xp_cypher]

That hurts, bro.

(ilu)

[xp_hawkeye]

If it helps at all, you guys are definitely my favorite personal contacts in any other context.

[xp_darcy]

bro we are your personal contacts

[xp_hawkeye]

In any other context! But you know I've got people overseas that you guys don't. I'm not saying your coverage needs any additions or that any contributions I have wouldn't necessarily be repetitive, just that that's where my brain goes!

[xp_darcy]

Repetition isn't necessarily bad in this case. Meanwhile, with everyone else being all efficient and competent, I'm going to be looking at patterns instead. And bribing Doug to help, because he's even better at them.

This is some Gotham-ass shit in a very negative way.

[xp_tarot]

We are on our third? hour? of looking. I dislike the implications of this man's powers, since no one found him the last time, and we have any number of psis in the mansion.

At this point I am forced to assume "Killgrave' is an alias, and a ridiculous one at that.

[xp_darcy]

It's kinda hot when you do the easy legwork for me, Gar.

[xp_dominion]

My milkshake brings all the girls to the yard when I liaison with similarly leveled federal employees in other branches of law enforcement to submit suspect search requests with an urgent tag that they are willing to expedite.

[xp_darcy]

Efficient and hot, keep speaking my language and you're gonna end up with cookies and beer.
