Jeffrey

“
How *dare* you! The J-Man's teachings inform everything I do!
”

—Jeffrey, Episode 6

**Jeffrey** (ジェフリー, *Jefurī*) was a player of Sword Art Online. He was the leader of Laughing Coffin.

## Appearance

Jeffrey was average looking man with light brown hair and brown eyes. As the leader of Laughing Coffin, Jeffrey wore a dark, hooded poncho that covered him down to his knees, and wielded a Chinese kitchen knife-like dagger, called the Mate Chopper. During this time, he got a tattoo on the right side of his face.

## Personality

Despite him trying to put on a persona of a sinister reverend, Jeffrey is a relatively affable and a seemingly good-natured person. However, he is a mentally unbalanced young man suffering from delusions. Prior to SAO, he was a normal person and a Christian, but the stress of being trapped in the game caused him to have hallucinations of Jesus who tells him to kill. Even though he claims to be a messenger of Jesus, Jeffrey has never actually read the Bible, as he was shocked when his Guild mate, Johnny Black, was able to name a scarier bible verse than him.

## Equipment

### Sword Art Online

#### Weapons

* **Mate Chopper:** (友切包丁 (メイトチョッパー) , *Meito Choppā*, lit. Friend cutting kitchen knife) A rare and powerful meat cleaver.

## Differences from the Original

In the original the leader of Laughing Coffin's name was not "Jeffrey", he went by the name "PoH", which stood for "Prince of Hell". Additionally, his real name turned out to be "Vassago Casals". And it should also be noted that it was never stated that he had hallucinations of Jesus and he there wasn't a goofy person behind the murderer persona, nor was it even implied that he was at the First Boss raid.

He and the rest of his Guild were not tempted by wealth and fame by Kirito, nor did they run an ad that resulted in their capture. He managed to escape being arrested in the original, and he recruited Kuradeel after his duel with Kirito and ordered him to kill Kirito, in order to enact revenge on him for being apart of the raid that resulted in his Guild's arrest.
