Background
Jeb has had the good fortune to be born into a wealthy family who got their start in oil in Texas 100 years ago. Since then the good graces of his entrepreneurial forebears have left him and his kin with an enormous degree of material wealth he seems hell-bent to squander.
As the youngest of the current crop of Higgs, he was even more thoroughly spoiled than his brothers and sisters. He grew up surrounded by family, friends, and the sort of creeps that crop up when a family's assets are worth well in excess of a half-dozen zeros. He never took much to schooling, and though he has several hours of courses under his belt he has yet to earn a degree (or even declare a major), mostly thanks to his frequent 'breaks' from schooling.
Most of his life has been spent at play, doing the things he enjoys and wasting money.
Personality
Jeb is old money, and thus the things he enjoys most are the pursuit of leisure. He's an avid hunter and a connoisseur of fine liquors. Amongst countless others, cattle drives, barbecues, races (horse and motor), and gambling have held sway over his relatively short life.
He's amiable and hospitable to the point of being irritatingly gregarious. He can't fathom people not enjoying his company, though he himself quickly cools and lets be folk he finds boring or verbally abusive (though he's always happy to oblige a right-hook request for a bare-knuckled brawl).
He has a large number of Texas mannerisms, all affected specifically because they are stereotypical, from chewing tobacco to enormous belt buckles to the omnipresent ten-gallon hat.
