Biography[]
Early Life[]
Jeanpierre was sent to the San Bruno Primate Shelter for unknown reasons. Like most of the apes at the shelter, he was cruelly mistreated by handler Dodge Landon.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes[]
When Caesar arrived at the shelter, he was placed in a cage next to Jeanpierre. Later, he was tranquilized by Dodge to be shipped to Gen-Sys Laboratories for the revised ALZ-112 therapy - the ALZ-113 trials. However, Jeanpierre and all the other apes at Gen-Sys were freed and escaped to the Golden Gate Bridge during the Ape Rebellion led by Caesar, Maurice, and Rocket.
During the Golden Gate Bridge battle, Jeanpierre was among the apes who climbed on the high-wire supports led by Koba before aiding in attacking the authorities, forcing them to flee. After the battle, he lived to reach freedom in Muir Woods.
Notes[]
- Jeanpierre's name was shown on his info box when the apes at the San Bruno Primate Shelter were fired up as Dodge introduced Caesar.
- His appearance is known because of his shot in the second trailer for the film.
- It is possible that his name could be inspired by French author Pierre Boulle, who wrote the original novel.
Trivia[]
