Jeffrey Hodgins

Jeffrey Hodgins is a mentally ill man with schizo-affective disorder and the brother of Jack Hodgins.
== History ==
Jeffrey Hodgins is introduced in "The Heiress in the Hill." It is presumed that when his mother was pregnant with Jack, his parents sent Jeffrey to the Sandalwood Home to protect Jack and himself. He stayed in the home for 30 years. Because schizophrenia rarely develops before the age of twelve and is more often diagnosed starting in the late teens, he was likely born in the mid to early 60s. He is shown to be quite intelligent and pleasant company when he takes his medication and has proper treatments, otherwise his illness can flare up and sometimes persuade him to run away from his home only to always be found by the people that work there since he only goes to one of a few places. Jack cares deeply about his older brother which is signified when he decides to get a loan to pay for all of Jeffrey's medication "like the normal person that he never was." Jeffrey believes that there is a shroud of static electricity that separates the real with the nonexistent. He claims that there are only a few people who can "see past the static."
Jeffery has been a schizophrenic from a young age. He claims to be able to see past "static" and does not trust anyone he believes is from the "federation". He also believes in conspiracies involving the popular social media website 'twitter'. After his mother became pregnant with his younger brother his parents felt they were unable to care for Jeffery adequately and placed him in one of the best mental health facilities of the country, giving them enough money to keep Jeffery there for thirty years. He still keeps a picture of his dead parents in his room.
Neither brother was ever told about the other. His brother only found out about him after the money his parents had sent the institution ran out. Jeffery, overhearing a conversation between the director and his brother concerning him and the fact that he was going to have to move to a state facility (which he believed was another conspiracy), Jefferey decided to run away. Hodgins takes a loan from the bank to pay for his brother to stay and goes to find his brother. His brother, at first angry saying that he can't trust an "operative" yells at Hodgins for making him leave. Hodgins agrees and says that it's good that he doesn't trust operatives, but that he is his brother and he will make sure that his brother never has to leave his home, showing him a picture of his parents with him as proof that he is, indeed, his brother.
