Title: The brightest Beacons: Tracing the Most Powerful Jets Across Cosmic Time

Abstract: A fraction of active supermassive black holes (AGN) are known to power extremely luminous relativistic jets, observable since the dawn of time. However, fundamental questions about their prevalence throughout cosmic history, their connection to black hole growth, and their potential evolutionary sequences remain unanswered. In this talk, I will highlight how we can tackle some of these open issues through means of multiwavelength and time-domain studies, in particular exploiting the capabilities of current and future X-ray, MeV and gamma-ray missions.
