Jesús Velásquez (pronounced hey-soos) was the boyfriend of Lafayette Reynolds. A brujo of Mexican origin, he met his partner while being employed as a medical nurse for Lafayette's mother Ruby Jean. He discovered that Lafayette was "powerful" and carefully introduced him to witchcraft, magic and mediumship. Eventually he managed to get Lafayette to join the witch coven of Marnie Stonebrook, a friend of his.

Marnie, however, began a violent campaign against vampires, aided by the spirit of deceased witch Antonia Gavilán de Logroño. Jesús and Lafayette got themselves threatened by vampire Pam after they had been part of the crowd when Marnie had cursed both Pam and her maker. Jesús and Lafayette traveled to Mexico to consult Jesús' grandfather, who revealed to them that Lafayette was a medium. Back in Louisiana, Jesús summoned his brujo powers to force Antonia's spirit out of Marnie's body, since Marnie had gone mad with power and even killed innocent members of her own group. Marnie was then shot dead by Bill Compton, but returned as a spirit possessing Lafayette. In order to save Lafayette, Jesús complied to Marnie's wishes of transferring his brujo magic to her. In the process of the transfer, Marnie/Lafayette stabbed Jesús, killing him.

Early LifeEdit

Jesús was born in Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico, as he mentions in the third season. His mother was raped; therefore he doesn't know his father. After Jesús' mother found him in the middle of a ritual guided by his grandfather, she decided to flee with Jesús, living in places such as Uruguay and eventually northern Louisiana. As time passed, Jesús decided not to have any contact to his grandfather because he wouldn't want to be anything like him.

Season 3Edit

On their first meeting, Jesús seems to take an immediate interest in Lafayette, followed by a personal visit to Merlotte's to spend time with Lafayette while he is at work. Jesús and Lafayette take V, which causes them to hallucinate. At one point they see Jesus' ancestor Great Aunt Cecilia.

Later, Lafayette calls Jesus to come to his work, because he was still hallucinating. After Lafayette asks him whats happening, Jesús tells him that he's much more sensitive and open to things after taking V. Jesús explained to Lafayette that when his uncle started teaching him magic he saw things too, things that people wanted to hide.

But it eventually wore off, and after he questions him on what he is, Jesús says that he's a Brujo (witch). Lafayette reacts by saying that he lucked out because he's with a witch who's a nurse that's a dude. ("Evil is Going On")

Season 4Edit

A year later Lafayette and Jesús are now living together. Jesús has been trying to get Lafayette to join the new Witch Coven in town lead by Marnie. Lafayette is still cautious or wary about the whole witchcraft thing but still goes to the meeting with Jesus. When Lafayette first goes Marnie is said to be connecting with the spirit world and Lafayette is very weirded out. Suddenly Holly who is interpreting for Marnie begins to ask Lafayette if he knows anyone by the name of Eddie and Lafayette is then frightened for he never told anyone about Eddie except Jesús. While Marnie is still sitting mumbling Holly is listening closely to Marnie and then tells Lafayette that Eddie wants to give him a rose. Marnie then holds up her hand to Lafayette as if giving him a rose and Lafayette is told to take it. Lafayette then goes in to take the rose but then Marnie grabs Lafayette's hand and Eddie begins to speak through Marnie. Lafayette then gets scared and steps away asking how Marnie knew about the situation with Eddie and then gets mad at Jesús thinking he told. Jesús then tells Lafayette he didn't tell anyone anything but Lafayette then walks out.

That night Lafayette does go with Jesús to the meeting again and this time the group are getting prepared to say goodbye to Marnie's dead parakeet Minerva. Marnie then asks if everyone could kindly join her and they all begin to hold hands in a circle except for Lafayette who just sits and watches. Marnie begins her ritual to help guide her bird to the spirit world. But suddenly Marnie begins chanting a spell that supposedly should return Minerva to life. ("She's Not There")

The second visit Jesús has with the coven, Eric interrupts and attacks Marnie and Tara who tried to protect her. To ward him off, he begins to chant with the coven until Eric has total memory loss. ("You Smell Like Dinner")

Worried about Eric's revenge, Lafayette takes it upon himself to visit Fangtasia. Jesús and Tara rush to Shreveport, knowing it's a bad idea for Lafayette to go there. They find him in the basement, being attacked by Pam. Tara holds a gun on Pam with wooden bullets. Lafayette tells Pam they can get her Marnie. She gives them 48 hours, or else she will kill them. ("If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin'?")

Marnie has a dream about a Spanish witch being burnt at the stake. She wakes tormented, her eyes aflame as before. Jesús, Lafayette and Tara are still begging her to reverse the memory loss spell she cast on Eric. She claims she has tried, but had no luck. Frustrated that they cannot find the proper incantation, a book mysteriously flies off a shelf and lands on the shop floor. Marnie picks up the book and realizes it contains a spell that should reverse the curse. With the spellbook in hand, Marnie attempts to reverse the spell. Outdoors in a circle, Marnie, Pam, Lafayette and Tara stand. Marnie begins to chant, while Pam continues to complain and threaten.("I'm Alive and on Fire")

Lafayette and Jesús are packing to leave for Mexico. Jesús says that his grandfather, a brujo is a very powerful man and can help them. Tara says she is leaving for New Orleans, and hugs Lafayette goodbye. Jesús tells Lafayette a story about his grandfather and a pet goat he had as a child, and was forced to kill. They arrive in Mexico and are surprised to see Jesús' grandfather standing behind them. ("Me and the Devil")

Lafayette ends up temporally possessed by “Tío Luca” in order to save Jesús from a rattlesnake bite, which was inflicted by Jesús’ Grandfather in order to teach Lafayette a lesson. ("I Wish I Was the Moon") Later on he begs his grandfather to let them go and he accepts telling Lafayette he is actually a witch and poisoning him was a part of a test for Lafayette.("Cold Grey Light of Dawn")
