Jeremy

Jeremy is an assassin mercenary who often accompanies the Malice Party.

## Characteristics

Jeremy has an irreverent, laid back personality, and tries not to take things too seriously. He is a terrible liar and often makes up fake names that immediately give away his suspicious nature. Despite this, Jeremy is self-aware of his shortcomings and is cunning enough to come up with creative solutions to problems; for example, he has been shown to try stalling for time as a strategy to avoid rolling Deception checks. Jeremy can sometimes whiff in combat situations, but he will engage in fights even in a severe disadvantage; he suffered heavy wounds after involving himself in a fight with two level 17 monks (Roselyn and Jerry) by himself during arc 0.

He is a fan of origami, a habit he picked up while he was training with the Kinesis Gauntlets during arc 1. He is also able to pilot an airship. Jeremy enjoys a number of strange and unorthodox food items during the campaign; his obsession of these items may have been exacerbated by the deterioration of his sense of taste after his resurrection in arc 2. He is on generally good terms with everyone in the Malice Party.

## Biography

Jeremy grew up in Grainsboro alongside his brother Richard. Their parents died in the Grainsboro Fire while the two of them were still young; it is implied this inevitably led the two of them to a life of crime, where they relied on the Grainsboro Mercenaries Guild for jobs to get by.

Jeremy was introduced in arc 0 where he was trying to assassinate Jerry, Roselyn's assassin. He briefly allied with Malice Party, but broke this alliance after the party tried to steal from Roselyn and they lost her trust. Jeremy is unconscious when Jerry killed Roselyn, implying he tried to help Roselyn defeat Jerry and was defeated himself. He is revived after the battle and is deputized by Olivia alongside the rest of Malice Party to deliver the Kinesis Gauntlets to the Brightcoast Monastery.

Jeremy accompanies Malice Party throughout most of their adventures. In arc 1, he briefly contemplates betraying you and selling the Kinesis Gauntlets for the bounty money after he sees Richard fighting against you. He ends up claiming one of the gauntlets alongside Ham towards the end of the arc, and they train together during the interlude. He accidentally exacerbates the rift between Malice Party and Ezekiel in arc 2 with his terrible lying; later in the arc, he is killed from falling off the airship under mysterious circumstances, and avoids lying to the party about it by stalling for time. He is resurrected using the Rod of Resurrection, unfortunately preventing Roselyn's resurrection.

His resurrection is a detriment to his health during arc 3. During the arc he leaves his post guarding Mauder's body, because Chance (1) claims that he has left behind incriminating evidence in the Grainsboro Mercenaries Guild and that it will be raided by the authorities in a day. After catching up with Leslie, who was told the same story, Jeremy returns to his post to find Chance (1) has possessed Mauder's body and taken off. He tries to remediate the situation by printing wanted posters of Mauder's face to try and catch him. Jeremy lies to Olivia and the Malicious Government to avoid being questioned about whatever incriminating evidence he had to destroy in the Grainsboro Mercenaries Guild; this, along with the revelation that Olivia was the one responsible for the Grainsboro Fire, strained Jeremy and Olivia's relationship somewhat. Jeremy gives his gauntlet up to Olivia at the end of the arc.

In arc 4, Mauder flies the Malice Party into Malus's mountain range as part of their plan to get into Josephine's Lab. After he and Ezra learn about Olivia's interrogation, Jeremy flies the airship into the ocean to avoid being caught, but he ends up getting lost and isn't seen in arc 5. He maintained phone contact with the Malice Party, and was able to survive by ingesting an unhealthy amount of Frail Mix he got from Aveeno; this caused him to gain weight instead of growing malnourished.
