Personality

Military Career
He served as the navigation officer aboard the in 2552.

During the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, Jaggers demonstrated gross incompetence, insubordination, and came a hairbreath from attempted mutiny. (actual) While at his post during the battle, he pleaded with Hikowa and turned away from his station. . At several points during the battle, his inability to follow orders without question nearly led to the death of his entire crew. After the battle, Commander Keyes had Admiral Stanforth reassign Jaggers to another vessel, or as the book implies, an outpost. Possibly a Slipstream Outpost, where he could do no damage while helping the UNSC at the same time. .

He was later replaced as the NAV officer by Ensign William Lovell. Ironically, this replacement brought about Lovell's death in the Battle of Installation 04, while Jaggers had so his life saved.
