Jesse met Trent when they were twelve and they became best friends. Initially they played angst-driven power pop and “Weird Al” Yankovic covers on acoustic guitars given to them by [[Vincent Lane|Trent’s father]]. "They decide to turn electric when they realized that it would be louder." He met [[Max Tyler]] at Lawndale High School and Nick Campbell in 1996. The band is still called Mystik Spiral because Jesse wrote the name on his guitar case in metallic marker. ("[[Reburb]]")
As well as Mystik Spiral, he was in the goth/synth band Bats With Guns. One of their songs was Baby Shakes Her Death Rattle. ("[[The Daria Diaries]]") The band later splintered into Cats With Gats and Bats with Bats. ("[[Reburb]]")
In his first appearance, he remembered Trent owed him a new shirt - after Trent vomited on the old one. That appears to have been Jesse's ''only'' shirt and he never got a new one (or forgot to), as he's always been seen shirtless.
==Personality==
Jesse received almost no characterization during the series, mostly due to the lack of elaborate spoken lines. His most frequent uttered word (really a syllable) is a clueless-sounding "yeah!"
Another facet of his personality is that he's interested in appealing to the ladies. In the [[Mystik Spiral pilot episode]] (included on the [[Daria: The Complete Animated Series]] boxset), Jesse was shown to actually ''be'' a ladies man and capable of easily pulling chicks; it was not stated how he managed this.
Strangely, according to [[Mart of Darkness]], Jesse is apparently unable to take a bath without scented candles, and as a result had not done so for a week as of the events presented in said episode. (Trent made him ride in the back on the way to [[Payday]])
Though he is at one point described, by [[Jane Lane]], as the "rhythm guitarist" for the band, he did take the solo for the Spiral's video [[Freaking Friends]]. He can also play a sitar, and defended its usage by saying the band needed to experiment more.
[[The Daria Database]] says he has a younger brother named [[Danny Moreno|Danny]], who's a "recording secretary" for the band's fan club.
===Stupid?===
The laconic answers has prompted the theory that this character could be about as stupid as [[Tiffany Blum-Deckler]].
A typical dialogue includes the following (from [[Is It Fall Yet?]])
* (The setting is the end of the first set at a Mystik Spiral concert.)
* Trent: We'll be back later for our second set.
* Jesse: This was the first set!
* Trent: Ah....Yeah.
==Jesse Moreno in FanFiction==
Fanfic has occasionally known to have Jane hooking up with Jesse, presumably to make a double-couple with Trent and [[Daria Morgendorffer]]. (See [[Gang of Four]].) This attraction to Jane was hinted in Daria's story which parodied Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" ("[[Write Where It Hurts]]") in which Jesse was described as Jane's suitor (which was also when he was given his surname "Moreno").
* Jesse appears in the [[Alternate Universe]] fanfiction '''Blessings of the Moon''' along with the rest of [[Mystik Spiral]] where he and the rest of the band try to capture and contain the possessed [[Stacy Rowe]]. He ends up succumbing to the power of the moon, despite it's not a full moon, and becomes a werewolf.
