* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We first see her driving a car through a corn field while fighting two men and killing them both. She then befriends two small children, who help her build a ''bazooka'' out of household items. She lets the kids hide in a storm cellar while she takes out a helicopter and an unknown number of assassins before driving off with a bright smile on her face, leaving the kids absolutely starstruck.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first we see of Cassidy is him onboard a plane kicking the collective asses of a group of vampire hunters with anything he can get his hands on (from an AerosolFlamethrower to golf clubs, to broken champagne bottles) before jumping out of said plane (which was beginning to crash) with a bottle of blood and an umbrella.

* TheAtoner: We don't know exactly what he did before he was a preacher, but they were definitely bad enough for Jesse to dodge any invitation for violence and help the people of Annville any way he can.
* BadassPreacher: "Jaysus, what kind of a preacher are ''you''?"
-->'''Jesse''': Not a very good one.
* BerserkButton: Jesse more or less takes getting beaten by Donnie Schenck in stride, but absolutely [[CurbStompBattle curb stomps]] him when Donnie threatens to beat his son for snitching on him.
* BloodKnight: During his fight with Donnie and his mooks, Jesse ''smirks'' when he punched one of them in the face and appears downright ''euphoric'' as he listened to Donnie's high-pitched screams of pain when he breaks his wrist.
* CrisisOfFaith: Jesse clearly has issues with his faith due to all the shit he sees everyday, even giving God "one last chance" to answer him one night when he prayed.
* DeadpanSnarker
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Breaking Donnie's wrist and kicking his friends' asses really upset Jesse to the point of regretting returning to Annville and considering quitting his position.
