## Personality and Appearance

J is a young man with dark hair and hazel eyes. He carries himself with a rather serious nature, often frowning, though he makes an effort to appear charismatic and good-natured towards guests of the Motel. He dresses with impeccable neatness: in addition to the Motel staff's standard uniform, he dons a pair of dark gloves which he almost never removes- an attempt to separate himself from the uncleanliness of the Motel itself.

J is stern and somewhat enigmatic, never truly revealing more than what he needs to. His keen observation of the Motel's daily functions have led him to develop an incredibly rigid style of management, creating a set of rules and expectations which he does not hesitate to enforce. He strongly disapproves of actions that contradict these best practices, and is quick to anger in the event that they're challenged or ignored. His attitude also changes somewhat when interacting with the living versus dead- he makes much less of an effort to charm the latter.

## Story

In the days leading up to Halloween 2003, J supervises the other Motel staff in preparing the space for its annual Halloween party, as well as the arrival of its new and mysterious owner. Stressed by both the holiday and change in business operations, J bides his time by cleaning areas of the lobby hall and staff resource areas, taking a break only when symptoms of recurring illness once again complicate his work. Discouraged, he shifts his attention to preparations for the Halloween party and heads towards the kitchen, where he then encounters resident chef Olivia Harper.

Olivia, who is in a considerably better mood than J is, proceeds to poke fun at the theatrically ugly staff uniform, then making several jokes with regards to the unfinished menu for the Halloween party. Unsurprisingly, J responds coldly, simply providing instruction for Olivia to refine her behavior. By this time, an intoxicated Ford Celestine joins the kitchen congregation, further stoking J's discontent. He reminds Olivia of her own brush with death following commentary made towards the Motel's majority-inhuman staffing pattern, then removing himself from the conversation altogether and heading towards the Motel Lobby.

Having overheard the conversation between Juno and the newly arrived Fathers, the Motel's manager greets the special guests, taking extra care to announce his faith in their abilities, as well as his willingness to cooperate where needed. His generous introduction is well-received by all except Juno, who recognizes his guest-facing front. He then directs her to escort Orson Banks and Gabriel Monroe to their rooms, stopping to re-organize the check-in records and sort through the mail once he has a moment to spare.

The moment is interrupted, however, by the arrival of new owner Carnita Glasse. Though expected, her arrival does not sit well with J, and he decides to move forwards in a way which is certain to displace her confidence. He pretends not to recognize her, but remains cordial and appears disappointed when she refuses to feed into his ploy. In an attempt to gain information regarding her return to the Motel, he then asks her the purpose of acquiring the property.
