Profile: Jeht is the daughter of Jebrael and Ufairah. She was hired along with her father by Tirzad to investigate some ruins in the desert, although they fell into a sinkhole and were only found by the Traveler after Bonifaz was worried about their status. She quickly befriended the Traveler, and while trying to find a way out, she discovered an unusual Primal Construct and befriended it, giving it the name Benben.
Following Jebrael's sacrifice at Khaj-Nisut, Jeht was left with her father's axe. After going through some of his keepsakes, she discovered that he belonged to a tribe known as the Tanit and decided to go on a trip to find them. She eventually found the tribe and was accepted in as a "half-outsider", as Jebrael had left the tribe when he realized that Babel tried to eliminate him, though he did not tell her about it before his untimely demise. She quickly proved her worth to the tribe's matriarch, Babel, tasked with eliminating traitors, some of which included other Tanit elders that she had been on good terms with before she met the Traveler again.
Jeht explained that she wanted to find the Eternal Oasis so she could put her parents' keepsakes there to put them to rest. Babel had Azariq assist them in the task, where they discovered an ancient Jinni known as Liloupar. Liloupar's initial personality angered Jeht, but she eventually came to terms with the Jinni over the course of the trip. When Azariq revealed himself to be colluding with the Fatui, Jeht was forced to kill him as he had betrayed the tribe. They eventually discovered the Eternal Oasis, where she put the keepsakes there before returning to the tribe and informing them of the news. Soon after, she had the Traveler assist her in restoring Benben, as Aderfi was supposed to but fled following his collusion with the Fatui.

When Jeht arrived to investigate, she was ambushed by the Fatui, killing a great number of them before she was captured. The Traveler, who was likewise investigating Babel's claim that Jeht had betrayed the tribe, discovered that the Fatui had captured her and found her in a Fatui base, where she had broken free and was killing all the Fatui in her path.
After making their way to her, she attacked them in response, as she believed that they had betrayed the tribe. She was promptly defeated by them and calmed down before they told her the truth, which enraged her. She and the Traveler were then promptly met by Rezki and Nayram, who she recognized as Falcons sent to eliminate them. After dealing with these assassins, they left to confront Babel. During the confrontation, Babel tried to win Jeht over one last time, though this was later revealed to be a ruse in itself to get Jeht to lower her guard.
Jeht ultimately stood by the Traveler's side and proceeded to remind Babel of the tribe elders Jeht had killed on Babel's behalf. The Traveler and Jeht then faced one last confrontation against Babel and her tribespeople. Before she killed her, Babel told her that she had sent scouts to inform the other tribes of her "treachery," so that all of the Eremites would see her as dangerous and untrustworthy.
With her vengeance sated, Jeht decided to embark on her own journey; while she wanted to accompany the Traveler, she could sense that their journey was not over and tearfully parted ways with them.
According to the event recorded in Nameless Researcher's Notes, which presumably happened after the end of the tribe, Jeht is currently the leader of a newfound mercenary group. Her group is on a quest to hunt down Masseira, and to that end, they are on good terms with the Order of Skeptics, who Masseira had also offended. Jeht and her group managed to mediate between the Order of Skeptics and a group of Akademiya researchers and agreed to escort the latter back to the rainforest.

Appearance: Jeht takes on the modified appearance of an Eremite Desert Clearwater, with some of the differences being her hair being royal blue rather than brown, having short stirrups rather than long ones, and being more tan. She also has scars on her body. While her eyes are not visible in-game (due to the traditional Eremite eye covering she wears), official character art of her establishes that they are gold.
