Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How to Recruit Jae Heydari

While you progress through Rogue Trader, you’ll likely want more allies to expand your retinue. Here’s how to recruit Jae Heydari in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader.

How to Get Jae Heydari in Your Party in Rogue Trader

Jae Heydari can be recruited during Chapter 2 of Rogue Trader. Once you arrive at the palace of the Liege of Footfall, you’ll find the Liege bickering with Jae over some sort of deal they had. From there, she’ll head off to drown her sorrows at the Adeptus Amasecus within Footfall. Once you’re done chatting with the Liege, you’ll want to head there.

Once you head there and chat with her, you’ll begin the quest Wanted on Footfall, which involves heading to a Warehouse to repossess some of Jae’s stolen goods. Once the fight is over and you’ve dealt with the Liege’s soldiers trying to jump on the stolen goods, you’ll be able to recruit Jae yourself through some correct dialogue options. After that, you’ll find her aboard your Voidship toward the front side of the ship.

Jae Heydari’s Stats and Strengths

Jae has some fairly solid stats when she begins her time with the Rogue Trader. At base, she’s running high Ballistic Skill, Fellowship, and a default of 110 in Commerce. With her in your party, this makes any trade deals almost guaranteed to succeed. Besides raw stats, she also runs the Officer Archetype by default, meaning she can run some solid Archetypes like Grand Strategist. Right now, that’s what I have her running with since she’s replacing Idira in my party. Given the right weapons and strategy, she should make a solid mid-range damage dealer.
