Overview
Bounty Notice: Jeffrey is a key item and bounty quest in Crimson Desert, posted by House Celeste on notice boards around Hernand. Jeffrey is a pickpocket who steals from townspeople in the City of Hernand. He is one of the easier early bounties and a good introduction to the bounty hunting system. Completing this bounty rewards a Mask, which enables stealing and makes it a useful early-game pickup. Wearing a mask in public can draw suspicion; it does not itself guarantee an undetected theft.
Like all bounty notices, this item cannot be sold. It is stored in the Key Items section of the player's inventory.

How to Start
Jeffrey's bounty appears in the journal at the start of Chapter 2: Golden Greed. Speak to the Hernand Guard Captain in western Hernand to accept it. Bounty posters for other contracts can be found around Hernand from Chapter 2 onward.
Walkthrough
After accepting the bounty, Jeffrey's location is marked on your map somewhere in the City of Hernand. He patrols the east district of the city wearing a sleeveless top and a hood. Follow the quest marker or look for the red outlaw icon on your minimap to locate him.
Jeffrey is a petty thief, not a hardened fighter. When you approach, he will try to run rather than fight. Chase him down through the streets and alleys of Hernand. Once you catch him, subdue him with a quick takedown. He does not require a prolonged combat encounter.
After subduing Jeffrey, pick him up and carry him to the Hernand Guard Station. Unlike bounties in the countryside, Jeffrey's capture point is relatively close since he operates within the city itself. Deliver him to the Guard Captain to collect your reward. You cannot fast travel while carrying a bounty target, but the distance is short. Keep your horse steady; if it bucks, both Kliff and the prisoner will fall off.
Rewards

The Mask is a particularly useful reward. When worn, it enables the Steal prompt on eligible items. NPCs may still become suspicious, and ordinary theft can still deduct regional Contribution Points. This makes Jeffrey's bounty one of the most worthwhile early bounties to complete, especially for players who want to engage with the theft system.
Tips
Jeffrey is one of the easiest bounties. He is a good target to practice the bounty hunting mechanics before tackling tougher outlaws.
The Mask reward is essential for the theft mechanic. Complete this bounty early to unlock stealthy stealing.
Since Jeffrey operates within the city, the trip to the Guard Station is short. You do not need to worry about ambushes on the road.
If Jeffrey does not appear at the marked location, rest at a bonfire and wait 6 to 12 in-game hours before checking again.
Do not save and reload while transporting a bounty target. This can break the quest state.
Completing bounties contributes to your Hernand Contribution, which can be spent at the Contribution Shop.
Reward
Hernandian +100
Completion
