Jeepo is a Sarkhanese villager who helps Atkins design his water pump and becomes his business partner when they go into production. Jeepo is a sharp mechanic who gives invaluable insight into how to make the pump accessible to average Sarkhanese villagers, and he speaks to Atkins as his equal. When they finish their design of the pump and begin manufacturing it, Jeepo decides that they will not patent their design but allow anyone to build it and sell it themselves.
