Jesse Murphy grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his mother and younger sister. Jesse's father maintained little contact with the family beyond short stays to avoid law enforcement or transition to his next temporary home. In conjunction with Jesse's mother's inability to stay employed consistently due to her limited English skills, Jesse was forced to spend most of his childhood fending for himself, much to his frustration.
Jesse's adolescent years were marked by a variety of misdemeanor arrests ranging from petty theft to drug dealing and street brawling. Police records indicate that Jesse typically acted alone, unlike other delinquents who adopted a criminal family to substitute for dysfunctional home lives.
By the age of sixteen Jesse left home permanently, finding work as a runner in the Las Vegas casino circuit. Over the next two years, his interactions with gambling syndicates led to a reputation as a consistent performer and interaction with a number of major Las Vegas gangs. Surveillance footage obtained from the Corinthian Casino's security feed shows the subject appearing frequently near big-win situations and being directed into contact with the winners, many of whom were reported missing soon afterward. Toward the end of Jesse's times in Las Vegas, gang informants reported that Jesse had begun to display an increasingly violent thirst for power and vengeance for real and imagined slights.
Company agents continued to track Jesse as he migrated to New Orleans. During this period, Jesse's abilities began to manifest. Company agents confirmed that in fact, Jesse was generating seismic shockwaves. His ability has continued to develop over time, culminating in the ability to generate earthquakes. Intelligence developed during the operation has led the Company to believe this to be the time when Jesse met his first and only significant accomplice: Benjamin Washington, better known as Knox.
An additional trait that should be noted is the subject's classic ritualization of vengeance and revenge motifs. The Company has significant psychological and physical evidence including extensive voice recordings that the subject has developed a deeply pathological and malignant fixation with the Linderman Group in particular.
