### Original Version

In 2007 a young man and his brother move from their parent's home and make a life for themselves, Jeff and his brother Liu had a great life on their own, they both were popular and well-liked, Jeff normally was lazy and Liu was the brains and breadwinner of the home, scoring a good job as a computer tech engineer, making fantastic income for the both of them, even telling his brother Jeff to not bother work and just kick back, relax and enjoy himself, Liu was happy to do what he does, and he was happier to know his brother had no work to slave over, their life seemed fantastic. Until a few months later in November, late afternoon Jeff suffered a horrible accident while his brother was at his job, unable to help.

People heard the commotion and saved Jeff, Liu rushed straight to the hospital when their neighbor called him. Jeff nearly died and Liu was devastated, however, Jeff pulled through, but in critical condition, it took a nearly full year to get rehab before going back home, Liu stayed with Jeff more than he did back home, even quitting his job temporarily just to monitor his brother, their parents heard the sad news and also devastated them, their mother was unable to speak to Jeff due to how horribly scarred he was, she couldn't stand to see her son wounded, their father took it more lightly and told Jeff that this isn't too bad, he'll get better and it all will go back to normal and this would be something to look forward to, causing the two brothers to be optimistic, unfortunately, their father was dead wrong, for the next time Jeff would arrive home he would start a decade of murder, soon he was prepped for reconstructive surgery to restore his face as good as can be then to be released a week later.

Unfortunately, the surgeons were inexperienced and negligent, causing Jeff's restored face to be a very haunting visage of what he is known for, Jeff wouldn't even know his face nor even anyone else until a week later when he was taken back home with Liu, slowly revealed his horrid face starting back in the bathroom mirror, having a relapse and slicing a smile in his cheeks as Liu looked on in horror. The hospital would be sued for Malpractice eventually after Liu and Jeff forged a death certificate for the latter to cover up any connection of the murders Jeff committed. Jeff would be that of a legend in Jersey, causing panic years to come, baffling reporters and police on this mysterious slayer, until revealed years later proving that the Myth "Jeff the Killer" was indeed real, and soon to be connected to the Jeff Hodek that supposedly died, bringing down the heat to the two, even family and anyone who knows anything about him causing the brothers to act in desperation. Once Liu was identified and implicated as an accomplice and a murderer, the Hodek brothers were forced to flee and eventually relocate.

### 2011 Version

Jeff started out as a normal suburban teenager, living with his mother, Margaret, his father, Peter, and his brother, Liu.

At some point in Jeff's life when he reached the age of 13, he and his family moved into a new neighborhood after his father got a promotion. Jeff and his brother were happy about the idea. Not long after settling into the neighborhood, Jeff obtained an odd feeling in his mind, but did not think too much of it.

One day later, Jeff and Liu went to a bus stop void of people. While waiting for the school bus, three kids, Randy, Troy, and Keith, approached the brothers and mugged them at knife point, taking Liu's wallet in the process. That’s when Jeff got the feeling in his head again and got into a fight with the three bullies, incapacitating all three of them, shocking Liu. Jeff and Liu left the scene after the school bus neared in and went to school, believing they were in the clear.

The next morning however, police arrived at Jeff's house and both Jeff and Liu were accused of attacking the trio with no apparent motivation, even after Jeff tried to tell the police that they were being mugged, the police didn't believe him. Jeff rightly took the blame for the whole thing and was about to be taken away by the police to a Correctional Facility for a whole year, but Liu stepped in with, knife in hand, and took the blame for the whole incident, showing cuts and bruises on his arm to prove it. Liu was then taken away in Jeff's place, leaving Jeff into a depression.

After two days, Jeff became more and more debilitated with guilt and loneliness. However, on a Saturday morning, Jeff's mother insisted that he should go to a neighbor’s birthday party, believing it would make him happy. Jeff reluctantly went to the party, which shortly took his mind off of Liu and made him feel slightly better. However, things took a turn for the worse when Randy, Troy, and Keith tracked Jeff to the party and confronted him with anger in their eyes, showing that they were wanting an obvious fight. Jeff tried to reason with Randy, believing that the odds were even between the two as he got to beat them before they got his brother sent to the Juvenile Detention Center. Randy dismissed this and said, "I don’t go for even, I go for winning."

Randy then proceeded to brutally attack Jeff whilst Troy and Keith held the parents and children at gunpoint to prevent them from stopping the fight. During the fight, Randy smashed a bottle of vodka over Jeff's head, drenching him in alcohol. After Randy incapacitated Jeff, he constantly yelled at Jeff to fight back. After Jeff struggled to stand, Randy finally insulted Jeff, telling him that Liu would rot in prison and that he should be ashamed of himself for not doing anything about it.

This infuriated Jeff to stand up and knock Randy to the ground. He struck a vicious punch into Randy's chest, which caused arrhythmia to Randy’s heart, resulting in his death. Troy and Keith, enraged by Randy's death, began shooting at Jeff with their guns, but they failed to hit him. After the two ran out of ammunition, Jeff lured them into the bathroom where he mortally wounded them.

During the struggle with Keith, a tub of bleach drenched Jeff, and Keith took this opportunity to set Jeff on fire by throwing his lighter at him. With the combination of the alcohol and bleach drenched on Jeff, it set him ablaze, making it practically impossible for him to put out the flames himself, Jeff then fell down the stairs of the house and passed out as the flames engulfed him.

Jeff woke up in a hospital room with bandages covering his face and body and was informed by his mother that Liu was being released from jail after witnesses overheard Randy mention that he was responsible for getting him in prison. Several weeks later, Jeff's bandages were removed, revealing his face to be deformed. Jeff took a liking to his new face, and when his family noticed his behavior, the doctors mistakenly assured them that it was a result of the painkillers.

After being taken home that day, Jeff's mother woke up to find Jeff in the bathroom burning out his own eyelids and carving a Glasgow smile into his cheeks. She realized that Jeff had gone insane and knew he needed to be killed. When informing Jeff's father, Jeff overheard this and proceeded to butcher his parents. Liu woke up from the noise and tried to avoid it by trying to go back to sleep, however Jeff crept into the room and told Liu, "Go to sleep," before plunging the knife into his chest. Liu's fate was left uncertain.

Jeff then went on a serial killing rampage, killing those who refuse to sleep at night, Jeff became infamously known as the "Ominous Unknown Killer."

## Appearance

Jeff has extremely pale skin and burnt off eyelids, giving him an even more ghostly appearance. Jeff later got his most distinctive trait, the smile that he had carved into his face. His build is commonly described as slim but fit at the same time and reaching a height of around 5 to 6 feet. His clothing normally consists of a pair of black skinny jeans with a white hooded sweatshirt, sometimes stained with fresh and old blood from his victims.

## Personality

In almost all depictions, Jeff appears as an extremely ruthless, brutal, sadistic, psychotic, and violent killer, commonly accompanied with a twisted sense of humor and a snarky attitude. Jeff is torturous, aggressive, and violent, being one of the most infamous serial killers in his home town, as well as a stealthy and mischievous individual, able to break into victim's houses almost always without getting himself caught in the act. Jeff is also depicted as having quite a narcissistic personality accompanied with a fine dose of egoism and intense arrogance, bragging about his skills and taunting other Creepypasta characters.

Despite his title, Jeff’s intention isn’t to simply kill others. His intention is to inflict pain on them. This is because his bloodlust first emerged during his first encounter with Randy, Tory, and Keith as sadism. If it wasn’t for this, he wouldn’t have gained the potential to kill all three of them at the birthday party.

## Powers and Abilities

Despite being a human, Jeff appears to wield incredibly powerful abilities that only apply to his human attributes, such as incredible stealth, inhuman speed, and brute strength, which he uses to mercilessly slaughter his victims, being able to overcome his parents and brother by simply gutting them.

Upon dermal exposure to bleach and alcohol, Jeff’s nervous system was slowed down through a reduce in the neural electrical signals in his nervous system, which increased his pain tolerance. A few things that makes him stronger are his intense hatred and bloodlust to keep him going, as well as holding great stamina. In recent years, Jeff has been depicted as being a charming individual, manipulating people into trusting him only to backstab them later.

Unlike other serial killers, Jeff’s homicidal urges are unusually insatiable, driving him to go extreme lengths just to inflict pain on others. This has caused him to become notorious, allowing him to utilize it as a means to evoke fear in others. His desire to kill is so pure that it allows him to easily break the wills of others. He has also shown to use his killing intention to intimidate others into seeing terrifying visualizations to the point where their minds are forced to believe that they are real, discourage them into submitting/fleeing, and even paralyze them in fear. One example is his menacing presence evoking enough fear to cause a victim to hallucinate about the dead body of a young girl whom they had found in their closet, yet the police could not find information about to even know who she was. Jeff also has a natural intuition on how to kill others, allowing him to sense the weaknesses of others and use them to inflict pain on them, if not kill them.

## Danger Level

Jeff truly lives up to his name. He's a feral maniac, looking to trouble, chaos, and murder wherever he goes and bringing as many people down 6-feet under as he can while avoiding authorities at all times.

His intentions go much deeper than simply killing his victims. His bloodlust first emerged in his mind as unrestrained pleasure from harming others. If it wasn’t for this sadistic nature, Jeff would’ve never resorted to killing in the first place. Because of this, he will sometimes take his time with his victims, brutally torturing them in disturbingly cruel ways while they are still alive.

This sadistic nature has led him to have a knack for exploiting others’ weaknesses, whether they be humans or supernatural beings, allowing him to easily figure out how to **at least** inflict pain on **most** living beings. It's also possible that Jeff's psychopathy may catch up to him and begin to overwhelm him in time, eventually driving him into killing himself, thus scoring him an 8 on the danger level.
