Jeannette Devereaux was born in 2626, a native of Brussels, Belgium, Earth.
Jeannette served aboard the TCS Tiger’s Claw. On 2654.135, Captain Jeannette “Angel” Devereaux and 1st Lieutenant Mariko “Spirit” Tanaka launched from the Tiger's Claw in Raptors to defend an Exeter-class destroyer from Kilrathi attack in the Gimle system. Later that day, they launched in prototype Rapiers, performing a standard three-point patrol, and again in Raptors to attack a couple of wings of Dralthi.
On 2654.137, Major James “Paladin” Taggart and Captain Devereaux launched from the Tiger’s Claw in Hornets to rescue Valkyrie, a pilot under attack by Krant fighters in the Chengdu system. Later on the same day, they flew again in Hornets to escort an Exeter-class destroyer to the Ymir jump point, and again to defend the Tiger’s Claw from six Gratha.
On 2654.326, Captain Devereaux and Christopher “Maverick” Blair launched in Raptors from the Tiger’s Claw to defend her from Kilrathi attack in the Goddard system. On 2655.010, they again launched in Raptors to escort the Sleipnir convoy to a jump point.
On 2655.271, Angel and fellow Tiger’s Claw pilot Major Kien “Bossman” Chen were ambushed by several wings of Kilrathi Imperial Guard fighters jumping into the Firekka system. The Kilrathi strike force consisted of a Fralthi, a number of corvettes and two Lumbari. Bossman ordered Angel back to the Tiger’s Claw with the final words, “Angel, tell my wife I love her”. Bossman occupied the Kilrathi long enough to let Angel escape, but was killed in the ambush, leaving Angel emotionally distraught for several days.
On 2655.278, Colonel Zaritsky of the TCS Austin offered Angel command of Austin’s fighter squadron. She decided to accept the post of squadron commander by 2655.293 and was promoted to the rank of major.
On 2655.293, Captain Devereaux and Christopher Blair launched in captured Dralthi to escort a marine Drayman back to the Tiger’s Claw in the Corsair system. Later that day, the Tiger’s Claw attempted to lure Kilrathi ships into an ambush before they could retaliate against Firekka. Angel and Maverick launched in Rapiers to destroy as many Kilrathi ships as possible.
When the Tiger’s Claw was destroyed in the K’tithrak Mang system, Angel was among the few survivors.
By 2665, Angel was commander of the TCS Concordia’s fighter squadron. The war against the Kilrathi tooks its toll on Jeannette and when long-time friend Mariko “Spirit” Tanaka died in a kamikaze attack on the starbase in Heaven’s Gate on 2666.356, Angel was left feeling emotionally empty. Christopher Blair comforted Angel during this time, and they began a long-term relationship with each other.
On 2667.035, Colonel Devereaux and Captain Blair launched in Broadswords to jump ahead of the Concordia and clear out any Kilrathi in the area before the Concordia arrived. Upon her arrival in the Enigma system, the Concordia moved in to a nearby asteroid belt and powered down for repairs.
On 2667.042, Angel and Maverick flew again in Broadswords to destroy the Korah Pakh Kilrathi listening post at the edge of the Enigma asteroid belt.
On 2667.049, the TCS Concordia discovered a Kilrathi strike force at the edge of the Enigma asteroid belt. Angel and Maverick launched in Broadswords to attack the strike force, deliberately allowing a Ralatha destroyer to jump out of the system. Angel tracked the Ralatha’s course back to its base in K’tithrak Mang before jumping after the Ralatha to finish it off. With the information on the location of the Kilrathi base, Angel and Maverick return to the Concordia.
On 2667.069, Angel called Major Zachery “Jazz” Colson to her office for a discussion on the upcoming attack on K’tithrak Mang. Jazz accidentally revealed that he knew more than he should, and Angel realised that he is the Mandarin traitor aboard the TCS Concordia. Jazz threatened Angel with a gun, but Angel defended herself, disarming Jazz and forcing him to flee the Concordia.
On 2667.092, communications were lost with the Rigel supply depot and several Free Traders that were en-route. Colonel Blair flew the first jump point patrol solo in a Broadsword from the Pembroke system. However, previous losses had left a shortage of gunnery officers so gunnery teams were supplemented with pilots. Angel flew with Maverick as his Chief Gunnery Officer. Upon arrival in Rigel, they were attacked by human pilots flying Confederation Ferrets.
On 2667.093, Angel assigned Maverick, Sky and Shelton to investigate a distress call from a Kilrathi corvette. However, the Kamekh was under attack by mutineers from the TCS Gettysburg, and they destroyed the corvette before Maverick’s wing could intervene. Later that day, Angel briefed Maverick on the Gettysburg mutiny. The Gettysburg was stationed in N’Tanya, during the Kilrathi rebellion in that system. Pilots refusing an illegal order from the Gettysburg commander triggered the mutiny.
On 2667.099, Colonel Devereaux and Captain Maria “Minx” Grimaldi encountered a massive Kilrathi force while flying a patrol. Angel ordered Minx back to the Concordia so that the Morningstar Minx was flying would not be captured, while Angel chose to stay and fight. When Colonel Blair found that Minx had returned without Angel, he immediately launched to rescue her.
At some point during their relationship, Jeannette and Christopher spent a week on leave on the beaches of Vespus.
As Christopher Blair was promoted to wing commander of the TCS Concordia, Angel transfered to James Taggart’s Covert Operations Division. Maverick thought her move to be out of character, believing Angel to be cool and rational. However, Angel stated that she was simply prompted by her regard for Taggart.
Shortly after the Battle of Earth, Angel undertook a covert operation to Kilrah itself, taking a hijacked Kilrathi transport. Before leaving, she sent an e-mail to Maverick on 2669.210, from her e-mail address: adevereaux@tcn.covert-ops.
During the mission, Angel’s covert ops team set up three secret depots in the Kilrah system which the Temblor Bomb attack led by Christopher Blair would eventually use to re-fuel and re-arm. She also surveyed a newly discovered jump point, through which Confederation forces could jump in.
Colonel Devereaux and her team were captured over the Kilrah homeworld but before their Kilrathi freighter was seized, the covert operations team sent a coded signal to indicate that the supply depots had been set up in Kilrah.
Angel's comrades were executed in the Kilrathi throne room via disintegration and video of their execution was aired on Kilrathi propaganda broadcasts. Angel herself was given “a warrior’s death”, impaled by the claw of Prince Thrakhath. Her remains were later served during a Kilrathi feast.
Prince Thrakhath broadcasted a recording of Angel’s execution to the TCS Victory on 2669.244 in an effort to draw out Christopher Blair, and also to trigger the awakening of Ralgha nar Hhallas’ true personality.
It also seems likely that the Devereaux, the research vessel assigned to test the remains of the kilrathi homeworld, was named posthumously in honor of the tragic hero who made possible the Confederation's eleventh hour victory over the Kilrathi. The vessel itself came to a tragic end when it became the first Terran ship to come in contact with the hostile Nephilim.
