Jackie Welles

"A gun for hire, Jackie is a highly skilled assassin. In the Wild West setting, he'd surely be a gunslinger or a bounty hunter. 2077 has him as a cyberpunk, just outside the big league. And he really wants to get into the game."

- Cyberpunk 2077 Demo Highlights

Jackie Welles is a character in the upcoming video game Cyberpunk 2077. He is one of V's early points of contact as well as the player's partner during several missions. He is Spanish-speaking and has no love for Scavengers.

Jackie plays a major role in the Cyberpunk 2077 48-minute gameplay reveal, serving as V's partner on the mission Breaking Through, wherein V is tasked with rescuing Sandra Dorsett from the Scavengers before they harvest her body.

His car is one of the vehicles players can drive within Night City.

In the 2019 E3 cinematic trailer Jackie accompanies V on a mission from Dex to steal a special cybernetic augmentation chip. Although the chip is successfully retrieved, V essentially botches the mission by drawing too much attention to the theft and Jackie is killed in the ensuing firefight, leaving V heartbroken and racked with guilt.
