Jesse Gentry

"This is gonna sound totally weird, but I was hoping we could do this one together."

Jesse Gentry was a budding spree killer and serial rapist who appeared in Season Nine of Criminal Minds.

Background
Jesse was one of two twins, the other being named Wallace. He was put up for adoption by his mother Carla, who found raising twins alone a difficult task. Adopted by the Gentrys in St. Mary's Church, Jesse grew up successfully, unlike his mentally-unstable brother, founding a lawyer firm alongside a man named Mark Anderson. When Carla became disappointed with Wallace, she came back into contact with Jesse, naming his father and setting up a trust fund. However, he apparently rejected her, unsure why she chose to keep Wallace over him. Carla managed to gain his trust, though, by telling him that they will kill Wallace and he can become her true son, an offer Jesse couldn't refuse.

The Inspiration
Jesse is first seen in the episode being spotted by a police officer as he drives past him. Simultaneously, an alert was put out for Wallace after he shoots a security guard at his workplace in a local shopping mall. Panicking, Jesse speeds away and is eventually pursued by JJ, Morgan, and several police officers, who mistake him for Wallace. After a short car chase, he crashes into another car and is arrested by Morgan, displaying a calm demeanor all the while, something that the BAU discusses later. By the end of the episode, Jesse has his hand scanned while being booked, and the DNA scan proves that he isn't Wallace, which shocks and puzzles the BAU and local police.

Modus Operandi
When he killed Vanessa Randall, Jesse copied Wallace's M.O. to the fullest extent, including the rape, the shooting in the heart, and the post-mortem posing, while the only difference being that he didn't force-feed her with any human parts. He specifically targeted Vanessa because she was a maternal twin. When he killed Elizabeth Nash together with Wallace, he also raped her and shot her in the heart, but also force-fed her her own finger, which he cut off.
