Jeremy

# **About**

Jeremy Colt is the co-creator and CEO of the Taco Bucket fast-food brand and Jerseth Entertainment, both of which he co-founded with his longtime business partner Seth Brown.

Jeremy's journey began as a failed engineer and programmer. While he possesses intelligence, his lack of formal education prevented him from realizing his dreams, as he deemed education a waste of time. He previously worked as a freelance hauler. His life took a distressing turn when his wife, who suffered from mental illness, experienced a manic episode after their attempts to conceive a child. This led to their divorce, and she was subsequently admitted to an asylum. Jeremy still harbors a deep desire for children, feeling that a significant chapter of his life remains incomplete. However, shortly after founding Taco Bucket Jeremy managed to adopt a child, and spent a few good years with the boy, however due to him having had to work more he sent him off to a boarding school.

Not a lot is known about the boy himself, however he seems to be around 13-14 around 1994. Jeremy and him have a on and off sour relationship during this time.

Jeremy is rather secretive about his background, typically avoiding discussion on the topic. It is unclear whether he had a difficult childhood or simply prefers not to dwell on past mistakes, particularly in light of his tumultuous past with his ex-wife.

In 1993, Jeremy stumbled upon two components of the Murkwater Rock while attached to a large rock in a forest near his then residence in Murkwater, Feng. The fate of these components remains unknown.

# **Taco Bucket**

Jeremy and Seth first crossed paths at Cafe Recipet, where Jeremy was working as a freelance hauler and decided to take a break. He joined Seth at his table, and the two engaged in conversation. They quickly realized they shared not only their entertainment skills but also their personal lives, forming a fast friendship.

Within a week, Jeremy completed a prototype for his robot. A few weeks later, they secured a small warehouse where the first functional animatronic, Ole, was created as Taco Bucket's inaugural mascot. Jeremy continued refining the animatronics as the Taco Bucket brand gained momentum.

As Taco Bucket expanded, Jeremy began making modifications to the animatronics at the Taco Bucket in the Goldencity Outskirts. Simultaneously, customers, security guards, and others began to complain about the animatronics behaving "unusually." Seth confronted Jeremy about these changes, but Jeremy claimed that he was merely "testing things."

# **Crush incident and mental decline**

In late 1993, a tragic accident occurred at the Goldencity Taco Bucket, resulting in the death of a child. The accident landed Taco Bucket in hot water, and Jeremy, who had been responsible for building the animatronics, faced blame for the mishap. Many attributed the accident to the wiring and the animatronic, creations of Jeremy's design. This led to an unwelcome sense of guilt and negativity surrounding Jeremy, even in his own workplace. His social anxiety gradually intensified as he withdrew and became increasingly isolated. Seth, too, believed Jeremy bore at least partial responsibility for the tragedy.

Following Simmon's takeover of the management of the Taco Bucket in the Goldencity Outskirts, Jeremy became even more isolated. He took frequent breaks and began working from home, where he found himself alone due to his son attending boarding school. His research into the Murkwater Rock also contributed to his decreased social interaction. He also bought a bunker in a large field in New Bevis.

Jeremy begins to experiment with the mysterious rock and learns how to partially harness its power. He uses it to power a special battery he made for the animatronics. The Taco Bucket in Goldencity experiences increasingly frequent break-ins, which angers Jeremy further. He decides to install security updates in the animatronics but is vague about what the updates actually do, leaving Seth concerned. Jeremy also claims that during a free-roam test of his animatronic, a dog apparently managed to enter the animatronic, resulting in the animal's death.
