**Jamal** is one of the many original characters in the Jamal Chronicles Series, and arguably the main protagonist of the series alongside his colleague Tyrone Williams. Extremely intelligent and skilled, Jamal has literally done it all and was favored enough to return in the **rebooted** timeline alongside a few other familiar faces.

Jamal made his original debut in the first timeline in May of 2018 but makes his first 2nd timeline appearance in the Summer of 2020. (**Cracking The Diamond**)

## ***Early Life (1985? - Early 2000s)***

Jamal was born and raised in Compton California, to **Jaquilius O'Neil,** and an unknown woman. Growing up Jamal never knew his father and nor remembered him at all given any time or place as a little child. He grew up alongside his younger cousin **Jacobi,** and his friend **Tyrone Williams.** Jamal did recall always wanting to work hard and study in life to ensure a better future for himself and what his family was back then.

He attended Compton Middle and High Schools, and although he did want to maintain a clean record for his later adult life, Jamal decided after the absence of Yuri, Tyrone and Jacobi to the likes of crime that he also needed to find "dodgier" means of earning money and that was to turn to the act of robbery and thievery thanks to the hands of Lester Crest whom he met around 2005 or 2006.

## ***Criminal Underworld (2006 - 2009)***

Jamal unlike Tyrone was involved in crimes but also did decide to utilize the tools given by Lester to use his money earned from his mini-robberies to be invested into several illegal businesses, namely ran by **SecuroServ,** A Los Angeles based private security company which was also used by criminals to be used in illegal trades/deals for a generally good profit. Jamal used these numerous amounts of illegal funds to be invested and was able to establish a net worth of nearly $1,000,000 before the attempted robbery attempt at The Diamond in 2009.

Jamal worked alongside Jacobi, Yuri, Tyrone, and Lester until around 2009. Although unlike Tyrone and Jacobi had no real personal feelings for Yuri, and simply viewed her as another helpful crew member during the darker days of theft and murder over the course of being Compton's Most Wanted respectively.

Due to the eventual success of many of the different robberies and or crimes committed by the vast majority of Lester's crew, it was decided by Tyrone to ensure the best for the crew by forming a much bigger name for themselves by having a meeting location to discuss and plan their targeted robberies in better numbers then ever before, via Jamal's bank account the crew was able to purchase a low-end refurbished Arcade property as an underground to the planning board and directive for much bigger heists while maintaining a low profile disguised as a teens arcade.

The other meeting/setup location was Yuri's apartment located just off the street of Jamal's plug to the CEO vehicle business, the Maze Bank West Office. However, this location was not used very often and only served as an emergency or back-up location.

The crew would be known as "Inspector Black", as an inside joke between Tyrone and Jamal respectively.

In the year 2009, a few shortcoming criminals namely Tyrone Williams, Gregory Adams, Yuri, and Jamal (alongside the hacker Lester Crest) attempted to make history by robbing the largest deposit vault in the western hemisphere. They had attempted to rob the extremely prestigious Diamond Casino and Resort which was run by the highly coveted "Duggan Family". The heist was planned and initiated by a small and local crime syndicate ran by **Tyrone Unite Williams, Jamal, Gregory Adams, Yuri, the coordinator Lester Crest, Jacobi Dani Johnson**, and a few other small-time crew members respectively.

Jamal himself alongside Yuri, Tyrone, and Greg were all the main gunmen inside the Diamond Casino during the failed robbery attempt in 2009. Jamal was alongside Greg and due to a miscommunication accidentally was aimed at the wrong direction and allowed a Duggan guard to blast Gregory away via a 12 gauge shotgun, only for Jamal to kill him but Gregory dying in the process, unfortunately.

This was also coupled with the fact that the alarm was raised earlier than expected due to a vault entrance botch and as of such the heist was forced to be abandoned mid-way through and with the tragic death of a reliable crew member Gregory Adams.

Jamal then was forced to abandon everything and eventually left the area to attempt to move on and start a new life.

## ***"The End of Jamal" (2009 - 2011)***

Things went completely different for Jamal, after the robbery he was forced to move to Ohio, to escape not just the police but also any trace of him having to do anything with the failed robbery attempt at the Diamond Casino, The severe PTSD did have its toll on Jamal, the poor man could not stop thinking about the events that occurred, the idea that he possibly let Greg die, the fact that everything went to hell, these thoughts pushed Jamal to the limit overall. Not only this but Jamal also was also unable to contact Yuri due to her disappearance, and the disappearance of Tyrone didn't help ethier. This lead Jamal to believe that there was only one option, and that was to take his own life...

Despite the new life Jamal wanted to live in for 2 years, it seemed even that was too much for our hero and in late 2011 he committed suicide after 2 years of self-isolation and depression at his newly renovated Medina Ohio apartment. Although Jamal had seen many horrible things in his lifetime, it seemed like the idea that he may or may not have been the actual cause of Gregs' death and the killer of several Duggan guards despite the hatred for them even expressed by his crew member Tyrone was too much for Jamal.

Similar to the likes of Tyrone, Jamal's story was far from over...

## The Epsilon Program

### Key People

Number 10Vi - Jay (Original Timeline only)

Tyrone and Jamal were literally sent to the gates of heaven, there they were confronted by **Jaquelious Tyelnious (Tyrone) O'Neil Niggums the 3rd or "Number 10",**They were told and described by the **Elder-god** that they were specifically chosen to be the next representing members of the **Epsilon,** likewise having the powers to almost be a god because in his mind Tylenious felt that they deserved it, although what he didn't admit outright was that he was indeed Jamal's missing father this entire time.

Although in reality, Tyrone was pleased to have been given this ability, Jamal was still very skeptical about it, although it did take some persuasion in the literal gates of Heaven, Jamal was finally convinced to assist Tyrone and together they would in-turn represent the new generation of **Epsilon** members respectively. The **Elder-god** also mentioned that they would be transported back to the Earth dimension just a few short days after their original deaths in 2011, with no one remembering or acknowledging their original deaths thanks to the **Epsilon's**respawn ability showcased to the duo.

### ***Return to Compton (2011 - Early 2012)***

With Tyrone and Jamal being given powers and being unkillable basically, the duo decided alongside a personal recommendation by Tyrone himself to return to their hometown of Compton CA, and relocate their old friend Lester to not only bring back heists but potentially maybe even bring back the feared crime syndicate known previously as "Inspector Black".

Lester was soon contacted and was relieved to find out that the duo was still alive after nearly 3 long years of silence, however, Lester had no idea at all that the two had been given powers and only was informed of their return overall. Although the crew was yet to be reformed.

Although it was only a small window of time, Tyrone Jamal and Lester were all motivated to regain the title of the most feared Los Angeles crime syndicate...
