## Biography

Jeremy Pickett was born on March 1st, 1998 in Los Santos San Andreas. Jeremy grew up with normal loving parents, but a resentful older brother, Kyle. When Jeremy was 2, Kyle tried to sell him to a Cambodian couple but was soon returned home safely. When Jeremy turned 5, he got a shiny red toy Turismo Classic for his birthday. Several hours later, Kyle crushed the toy car with a rock and buried it.

Growing up, Jeremy kept wondering what he did for his older brother to hate him so much. Despite the constant abuse, Jeremy would still try to hug his brother and tell him “I love you” even if he still couldn’t pronounce the words correctly. Kyle would still constantly push Jeremy into the dirt and kick mud in his face whenever he approached him. Jeremy eventually got the message and left Kyle, who preferred to spend his time on the computer anyway.

To kill time, Jeremy would often help his mother out in the kitchen. By the age of 9, Jeremy had already learned how to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner all on his own. He would often cook for the rest of his family too. Kyle however would refuse to eat anything his brother made and instead would just use his allowance to buy himself fast food, which was a huge contributing factor to his weight gain.

After high school, Jeremy left home and went to culinary school to study. After graduating with an impressive transcript, he was able to secure himself a well-paying job at a fancy restaurant in Vice City, where he worked until early 2022, when the restaurant burned down so the owner could collect the insurance money to fund his cocaine addiction, despite the restaurant being a wild success.

Eventually, Jeremy went to Los Santos in hopes of visiting his older brother, however, Kyle Pickett has been missing since August of 2021 following Blake Palmer’s initial arrest for the murder of Luke Carter. While in Los Santos, Jeremy stayed with Miranda Lawson and Ramona Wexler, who at the time, was also living with Miranda. Jeremy then decided to open various pop-up restaurants all located within Miranda’s kitchen, much to Miranda’s annoyance. For one of his restaurants, Jeremy hired Kate May to be the logo model. After working with her, Jeremy developed feelings for Kate and built up the confidence to ask her out. Kate agreed and the rest was history.

As of March 2023, Kyle Pickett is still in hiding, and in turn, Jeremy is now staying at Kyle’s old apartment. Jeremy and Kate are now in a serious committed relationship as well.

## Personality

Jeremy Pickett has the tendency to be somewhat delayed. It is unknown whether this is him naturally or a result due to the constant head trauma he endured in his early years from his abusive older brother. Despite his not-so-quick thinking, he can still cook rather complicated dishes with ease.

Jeremy also has a heart of gold and has a considerable amount of patience with just about anybody. He is the most patient with his girlfriend, Kate, as he knows that she has had a very troubled upbringing and tries to make things as comfortable for her as possible. However, when Jeremy gets angry, which is very rarely, it will be for something that really pushed him over the edge, and can easily hold grudges for a very long time.

* Jeremy’s “love” language is cooking. So if he cooks for certain people, they’re on his good side.
