Jens Hausser
- "Jens Hausser… who posed for me several times back in the day, and yet never looked the same in any of my drawings."
- ―Mike Jackson on using Jens as a model
Jens Hausser was a model used by illustrator Mike Jackson in his drawing of Jarth Findo,[1] a Human male mercenary. The image appeared in the West End Games' Star Wars Roleplaying Game (RPG) supplementary book Wanted by Cracken.[2] published on June 1, 1993.[3]
Alongside Peter Tupper and an uncredited woman, he also modeled an unnamed Human male in another[4] 1993 West End Games RPG book—the Star Wars Gamemaster Handbook[5]—in a scene titled "Surprise," with a fly-headed alien coming out of a shadowed alley touching Hausser's character on the shoulder.[6]
Hausser was not credited in Wanted by Cracken[2] nor the Gamemaster Handbook.[5] Jackson noted that Hausser modeled several times for the illustrator's drawings, but he could not get his drawings to look the same.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars – Jarth on Mike Jackson's profile on DeviantArt (backup link) depicts Jens Hausser as Jarth Findo, who is also modeled in Star Wars – Surprise on Mike Jackson's profile on DeviantArt (backup link). As the center character closely resembles Findo and Peter Tupper is not a woman, the character on the left must be modeled after Tupper.
