He is introduced deducing that Katsuki chose him and his office because he ranks among the top five Heroes.

Best Jeanist tells Katsuki that he will show him what it is that makes people Heroes.[4]
After Stain's defeat is published, the incident that occurred with the Hero Killer is on Katsuki's mind. Best Jeanist states that the incident is also on his mind but they must remain calm and collected. Best Jeanist tells Katsuki and his sidekicks that they will be running things smoothly as usual.[5]
