## Background

For eighteen years Mallory grew up thinking he was the only son of Mearl Jenkins, high school principal and member of the Kollok Town Council. Mallory never knew his mother, and his relationship with his father was difficult and strained. Still, he moved through life thinking he was a normal kid. Eventually, he would find that his life was built upon the foundation of his father's lies.

Mallory was not the brightest student of Kollok High, nor was he the most liked. He was considered to be obnoxious and abrasive, and his friendships began and ended with Marcus Bennett. They worked together at Taco Bell Express sharing conspiracy theories and generally just hanging out. Mallory supplemented his income by selling weed, although he didn't partake in it himself.

The first major hiccup in Mallory's life occurred when Marcus came to him regarding the disappearance of Rachel Jewell. Mallory, like most people, did not remember Rachel. And so, he responded skeptically, to which Marcus responded angrily, expecting his best friend to believe him. Mallory later apologized and tried to go along with the strangeness in Marcus' life, but their relationship would never be the same.

Not long after Mallory's father, Mearl, was shot during a Town Council Meeting at the VFD Banquet Hall, but no one remembered how he was shot or by whom. The actual shooter was Corbin Sabin, who accidentally killed Mearl when trying to shoot Synchroneity representative, Chien-Shiung Wu. The police kept the investigation opened, but they had no leads.

When Mallory finally had the chance to speak with Marcus again, who had never been there for him through the loss of his father despite Mallory being by his side while he was in a coma, Marcus would belittle Mallory's loss because "there were bigger things going on" and "everyone had lost something". This would mark the end of their friendship, as Mallory couldn't understand his friend's behavior.

Mallory would find new friends in Billy Baker and Tibby Devin, the latter who tried to rein in Mallory's obnoxiousness. He and Billy formed a tight bond, complimenting each other often to the point of their other friends being suspicious of their relationship.

While Mallory considered Tibby a friend, it still didn't stop him from using him and abusing their friendship. Mallory used Tibby's healing abilities to fix himself after self harming in different manners. Tibby objected to the acts of self-mutilation, but Mallory kept on finding ways to make sure Tibby healed him. This came to an end when Mallory stuck his hand in a garbage disposal and Tibby refused to heal him again, which put a strain on their relationship.

At this point, Mallory lived alone in his father's house after graduating high school. Through Billy and Tibby, Mallory created new bonds with Embeth Pegg, Laura Bennett, Mickey Jones, and Mike Hunt. It was while hanging out with them on the beach that Mallory saw visions of his father, who at the end of their conversation urged Mallory to save the people in the water. Mallory did as instructed and saved eighteen people. Hailed as a hero, and constantly ribbed about his "career" at Taco Bell Express, Mallory quit his job and decided to run for mayor.

Mallory's mayoral run would end as quickly as it started. At Kollok's first Mayoral Debate, a private investigator exposed that Mallory had been selling drugs. The claims were corroborated by his once-friend Marcus, who signed and notarized a statement to that effect. Stunned, Mallory fled the VFD Banquet Hall as people started melting and the hall caught on fire. Mallory's confusion regarding Marcus now turned to anger.

Mallory would continue to have adventures with his new friends. And he would continue to strain his friendships with his actions. Despite his impulsiveness and stupid actions, Embeth Pegg would continually come to his rescue, often putting herself in harm's way.

During these adventures, Mallory learned about the secret his father was keeping under the town. A woman who called herself Mother, who he believed might be his biological mother, told him about the clones Mearl had made. Though Mallory tried to cling to the fact that Mother had given birth to him, he remembered Jay Pegg, who he found out had been involved romantically with his dad, mentioned how much Mallory looked like his father. This made Mallory realize that he was just another one of the clones who had been successful. Mallory also learned the horrible things his father had done, including trapping people underground for eternity. Mallory keeps, defiantly, trying to be his own person and not a copy of the complicated man that he called "father".

### The Black Rock

A month after the events of Season 2, the Radar attempted to retrieve Tibby and Mickey B from the Black Rock. The group worked together and successfully located Mickey and Tibby; however, they could not exit the Black Rock on their own. On an impulse, Mallory and Mickey A swapped places with the captives and were trapped in the Black Rock. While it is unknown where Mickey A is, Mallory spent 30 years imprisoned with the company of "Bizzaro Billy" and "Bizzaro Laura" who constantly berated him in his time spent in the Rock. In episode 6 of KOllOK, the Ascended (minus Ro) found him in the Rock and escaped with him. Despite being trapped for 30 years, Mallory had not aged and was still 19 years old.

## Personality

Mallory Jenkins is an immature and impulsive young adult who often doesn't think of his own safety. Often brash or grotesque, Mallory uses his annoying nature to his advantage. Despite his many flaws, Mallory is still loved by his friends for being part of the glue that holds them together, though he holds within him deep resentment of himself. He suffers from dark intrusive thoughts that often push him to harm himself, even to the point of forcing Tibby to help him after he harmed himself.
