Jape Devon is a member of the feline-like alien race, Kastans, as presented in the short-lived Blue Horizon stories. Created by Steve Carter, Devon's character was censored by Ted Blasingame, who disapproved of Carter's portrayal of an overtly sexual and psychologically damaged character as a foil to the otherwise upright, moralistic cast of characters. Consequently, Devon never truly received his intended portrayal in the series.

Jape Devon was born a mutant Kastan, known as "the black-eyes" due to their orbits being filled with a tar-like substance instead of a standard eye. A black-eye Kastan can see into the visible and infrared spectrum, and is also capable of leaving a portion of its eye substance in a given location and retaining visual feedback from the portion in that location for up to thirty minutes before it goes inert. Black-eyes are often employed as surveyors, map-makers, explorers, and other professions in which their natural ability is useful. They are also employed in various military professions as well, as the black substance can provide multiple, simultaneous angles for a given target, making sniping more effective.

Devon entered the military at age seventeen and was immediately assigned to "The Hunt", a black ops unit. He ascended through the training program but did not rise in rank due to "poor attitude", which was soon diagnosed as an amoral belief about life. Various psychological and social tests were administered, only to find that he didn't come from an abusive or abandoned childhood, but developed his ideas about morality, society, and ethics organically on his own. He was dismissed from duty, but retained his custom-made sniper rifle, The Judge. Since then, he has hired on as a political assassin to various governments willing to pay his fee and meet his demands.

Despite being charming and easy to get along with, Jape Devon rationalizes his profession as a necessary evil that someone has to perform, and that he might as well get paid for it. In canon, Devon was commissioned for the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but was thwarted by an unknown third party and had to return the fee.

He is bisexual and multi-oriented, and apart from animals, small children ("not ripe yet") or close family relations, will have sex with anyone. In a scene cut from his introductory story in Blue Horizon, Devon performs his initial interview for service while receiving oral sex from a male, then female prostitute.
