an aneurysm. Sex. Opera, surprisingly. Motorbikes. Has a weird thing for collecting scented candles. Keeping active.

Family: Mother- MTT, alive. Father - MTT, dead. Grandmother – MTT, alive.
Personality: Jericho is a very confident individual, likes being the centre of attention, a bit vain. He's very good at his job and will rarely turn down clients, no matter how dangerous or illegal their need might be – as long as they can pay. He has quite loose morals. Very little problem beating the shit out of someone if he thinks it will help get the job done. Thrill seeker.
Very, very bad role model. Just... awful.
JT isn't close to many people but if you are special to him he'll move heaven and earth to help you, no matter what obstacles stand in his way. He treats his Merc company like extended family and they all tend to look out for one another.
History: Jericho was raised until the age of 5, mainly by his mother. She was a stay at home mum while his father was a Major in the army. His father was gone a lot but Jericho really looked up to him and wanted to be just like him when he grew up. Due to his fathers absence Jericho's mother was lonely and not entirely faithful, having several affairs while her husband was away for work.
Jericho's father died shortly after his fifth birthday and while his mother was saddened by his death she didn't spend a long time in mourning. In fact she very quickly found another partner and spent more and more time out of the house, leaving Jericho with his grandmother. After a year or so his mother simply failed to pick him up and he hasn't seen her since.
Jericho's Grandmother (who's named Felicity btw – though JT always calls her Grandma) tried to find his mother, worried something bad had happened to her. It took some time to track her down and eventually Felicity found out that she had started a family elsewhere.
Felicity took raising her grandson in her stride (even though he was/ is a little shit) and made sure he knew how much she loved him and wanted him with her. They lived happily until Jericho's teen years where he started hanging out with a bad crowd. He did a lot of naughty things, stealing, mugging, threatening and beating people. When confronted by Felicity's disappointment he always promised to do better, but kept getting sucked back in to his old ways.
It wasn't till Jericho was 17 that he realised he would be in serious trouble if he carried on his current path. His involvement in a robbery caught the attention of a gang and he was jumped while helping Felicity carry their shopping home. His grandma was out in hospital and took much longer to recover than Jericho himself did.
Without his Grandmother working they had no money and were forced to sell their house and move to a cheaper area in Junction City. Jericho managed to get a part time job as a bouncer (they didn't look too hard at his previous troubles with the law) and vowed to stay on the straight and narrow from then on.
Which sort of worked.
He started up his own security business which quickly began being contracted for less savoury jobs by those who knew his previous reputation. He took all the jobs he could to help get his grandma living somewhere a little nicer and his reputation for getting the job done attracted more and more business.
Eventually Jericho just decided to scrap the security front and present as a mercenary company.
Trivia:

- Has been stabbed twice and shot once. In the ass, which he is still angry about.
- Always likes to keep busy, he gets into trouble a lot of he isn't doing something.
- He's not picky about sexual partners, if he likes a person he will make it known. It's not hard to get him in the sack.
- Because of what happened with his parents he doesn't fall in love easily.
- Likes knives and has a small collection. Butterfly knives are his fave.
- Probably always has at least one weapon on him.
- He's a bit of a dick, really. Enjoys 'Gallows Humour' - yeah.
- Can be annoyingly charming when he wants to be. Can also be a sarcastic asshole and often gets into trouble for it (mainly from his grandma!)
