An extermely flamboyant and showy white-haired mutant (as Captain Ginyu stated) member of the mercenary Ginyu Special Squad squadron, Jhees is known for his alien humanoid appearance apart from his red skin. Nicknamed the "Red Magma" (known as the Crimson Inferno in the FUNimation dub), he often pairs with Burta for combination attacks.
For all his boasting, Jhees is actually quite cowardly when faced with a stronger threat such as Son Goku. After Goku defeats Burta as well, and Vegeta kills his incapacitated comrades, Jhees fearfully leaves his friends behind and flees back to Freeza's ship in order to inform Captain Ginyu of the team's decimation. Captain Ginyu implies that he's angry at Jhees for running away, and he treats him rather harshly as a result. When the battle between Captain Ginyu and Goku commences, Jhees remains on the sidelines as a spectator, apart from one instance when he interferes, stepping in and trying to help Ginyu. This results in Captain Ginyu releasing Goku from his grip and warning Jhees never to meddle again while he's in combat.
When reading Vegeta's power level, Jhees' scouter goes haywire and he breaks it out of frustration. Not willing to accept Vegeta's strength, Jhees continues to attack Vegeta, only to get pummeled. Vegeta then brutally attacks, propelling Jhees into midair and relentlessly destroying him with a blast directly aimed at his face. Jhees begs for his life before being executed and after he is eliminated, Goku disapproves of Vegeta's harsh behavior, but Vegeta quickly reciprocates by reminding Goku why his conscience and emotions are a weakness.
Later, he and his team invited to Kaio-sama's planet when him and both are blasted into hell by Tenshinhan. It's unknown how they managed to bypass Enma-daio and arrive at the planet, though Kaio-sama implies that he may have given them permission to travel there in order to witness the strength Tenshinhan, Chaotzu, and Yamcha had acquired through their extensive training.
In an anime fillers, Jhees fought Goku and Paikkuhan in Hell, defeated and also viewed the battle between Goku and Kid Buu amongst fellow villains in the Kid Buu Saga.
Jhees returned from Hell for a brief cameo in the movie Fusion Reborn, along with Burta and Recoom. They all run away after Gohan defeats Freeza with one punch. He is with the other villains to make a brief appearance in the Super 17 Saga when the inter-dimensional rift opened. He was eventually sent back with all the rest of the villains after being defeated.
Kuririn states that Jhees' ki is the same as Recoom. Contrary to this, the game, Dragon Ball Z: Sagas, places his power level at 75,000. However, since Captain Ginyu stated that Goku would need a power level of roughly 60,000 to defeat the combined powers of Jhees and Burta, the game appears to be in error. In the RPG game, Legend of the Super Saiyan, in the battle against Jhees, he is at a maximum of 64,000.
Interestingly, because most characters' voices changed when FUNimation took over, Jhees' accent was changed from a Brummie accent to an Australian accent. The video games and an issue of Shonen Jump that describe Jhees and Sauzer as beings of the same alien race (though, they might be possibly be from Brench / Coola #98). A third member (who resembles Jhees more closely) appears to be part of King Cold's ship crew.
