"I won't turn some half-assed reindeer out on the front lines. I'll whip him into shape myself if I have to!" - Black Ded

A fairy of ice and snow from the Kideji Gate. In the game's setting, Santa is not a single man, but an organization of many kind-hearted souls who take up the mantle for the sake of spreading happiness to the children of every realm. Jedd serves as the headmaster in charge of training apprentice Santas at a school in Tokyo. A popular figure among his students, he watches over all of them with a warm, fatherly aura. This, however, is only one side of his personality.

Jedd has a darker personality lurking inside that rages as violently as any blizzard. His sacred treasure, the magical bag given to all full-fledged Santas, rewards kindness and good deeds with presents, but metes out punishment to the wicked in equal measure, and this dark side manifests by its own accord in the presence of evil. His power grows in proportion to the wickedness in his opponent's heart. Against an innocent, he's surprisingly weak.

His kind, friendly persona views Youl like a son, and was the only one who supported the reindeer's dream, permitting him to become an apprentice Santa. The Dark side, however, is more akin to a drill sergeant running a promising young soldier ragged to draw out the latent potential that comes only from being pushed to the brink. During the "Apprentice Santa's Gift" event, his Dark persona puts Youl to a test: Youl will be in charge of distributing presents to the children of Tokyo for Christmas as part of a sink-or-swim final exam. While being pursued by a ninja.

Notes

Ded Moroz or Did Moroz is a fictional character who in some Slavic cultures plays a role similar to that of Santa Claus. The literal translation of the name would be Grandfather Frost.

May also be a composite character of Santa Claus and his lesser known counterpart Krampus. Whereas Santa Claus rewarded good children with toys and gifts, Krampus was a sort of anti-Santa demon who punished bad children; varying from simply leaving garbage in place of presents, to abducting the bad children and dragging them to Hell depending on the storyteller.

Currently the only character who switches attributes between his variations.
