## Biography

### Early Life

Jeff used to work in I.T and developed a music software that was supposed to belong to Carrington Atlantic, but a judge disagreed and Jeff went on to earn his first billion dollars, which made him Blake Carrington's number one enemy, who admits to hating him on multiple occasions.

He has a father who was arrested on alleged drug charges and sent to prison after Jeff's mother was having an affair with Blake Carrington, and Blake wanted Jeff's father out of the picture. When Jeff found out about it, he started a plan to get close to the Carrington's to get revenge.

### Season 1

In "I Hardly Recognized You", after Blake refuses to give Fallon Carrington a job of importance in his company, she teams up with Jeff, and he offers her financial backing to be the chief executive officer of Carrington Windbriar, her own company that she's starting, which will also be Blake's new competition.

In "I Answer to No Man," when Fallon gets kidnapped by Alejandro. Knowing that Michael was sent by Blake to watch Jeff, they both start to fight and after they fight the two work together. It could be the fact that Michael asks Jeff for help to save Fallon.

In Trashy Little Tramp and Dead Scratch, it is revealed that Jeff and Monica Colby are half-cousins to Fallon Carrington as Thomas Carrington, Fallon's grandfather, had an affair with Jeff's grandmother.

### Season 3

In "Mother? I'm at La Mirage", Jeff received treatment for his neuro-toxin condition that had appeared as a result of Adam's poisoning. Because of the illness, Jeff will slowly lose his ability to speak, basic motor skills, and functions. The effects could become apparent in years or months.

### Season 5

Jeff is hospitalized for his psychotic break and begins to recover, taking his medication again. While he acknowledges his delusional state, Jeff remains suspicious of Brady and sets him up to be caught trying to steal his laptop. Dominique sees that her son was right about Brady and officially ends their relationship. ("Let's Start Over Again")

When loan sharks try to extort Dominique by threatening Brady's life, Jeff arranges a sting operation with the FBI to catch the debtors and rescue Brady. Dominique finalizes her divorce and she celebrates with Jeff, who pays a visit to a comatose Fallon in the hospital. He agrees to post holiday stock-footage on *Hot Tea Atlanta* to keep Fallon's state out of the public eye, but she ultimately wakes up in time for Christmas. ("That Holiday Spirit")

Jeff struggles to build new partnerships as his reputation is tarnished from the failure of ColbyCo Space. Dominique brings this to Fallon's attention who, in a final effort to appease the Fallon Unlimited board, implements Jeff as Interim CEO. ("How Did The Board Meeting Go?")

As Jeff settles into his role as Interim CEO, he familiarizes himself with Fallon Unlimited's FSN-slate, noting a stall in *Dom-Mystique* sales. He suggests that Dominique enter NordicStar Airlines' uniform design contest to reach the international market, but she would rather start small: Fashion Fest East for the Plume d'Or award. Jeff calls for Kirby's assistance, and while Dominique loses contest, she takes Jeff's advice to pursue NordicStar. ("Go Catch Your Horse")
