NAME: Griffin O'Conner
FANDOM: Jumper

ONORATA-VERSE BACKGROUND: Griffin could have the whole world. In a way, he does. He has the ability to transport himself (and any movable object) anywhere in the world. An outsider would find it very strange that he chooses to associate in Reggio Calabria, a city in Italy full of crime and war. But he has his reasons to keep returning. Griffin was born in urban London to a set of very loving parents. It was never a particularly glamorous life, but Griffin loved it just the same. He could do whatever he wanted in the city. Then he had his ability. His parents had a hell of a time keeping Griffin in check. After a near brush with the law in England, his parents needed to lay low for a while. They decided to kill two birds with one stone. The O'Conner parents always wanted to see Italy. It would be foolish to try and go to a city again, so they settled for a small town, coincidentally outside of the city of Reggio Calabria. Griffin, now six, would jump to the city at times, although not nearly as often, with the city being so depressing and lacking in things for a child to do. But one time was enough.

A member of one of the major crime families saw Griffin at his incredible ability. They wanted him. After a while, they were able to figure out where he was located from the way he jumped. One night, a man came to the O'Conner house. His parents commanded Griffen to jump to safety. When Griffin came back, his parents were dead. Griffin was devestated. He left his parents to die. Before jumping to safety, he heard the man say something about recruiting him for war, for some family. Griffin for a while was a lost soul. He jumped from city to city, encountering the same problem. Everyone wanted to exploit him somehow. People he called his guardians and his friends were killed when they tried to protect him. The people in that Italian city were not the only ruthless people in the world. At thirteen, Griffin killed his first man. It was the only way to survive. At fifteen, he decided to cut off with human contact unless absolutely needed. All the while, he was dwelling on the mysterious man who killed his parents, and Reggio Calabria. The guilt and anger ate away at him until he couldn't take it. He needed to kill that man who killed his parents. He needed to be able to sleep again. At sixteen, Griffin went back. For a year, he covertly scoped out the city, learning of the crime and the war between the Monacellos and the Vescovos. He did not know which family it was that ordered the hit on his parents. Then the answer became simple; just kill them all.

At seventeen, Griffin became a mercenary and an assassin. He was to be just like whoever killed his parents. It was the only way to find him. Griffin had years of practice on his hands, being good at fighting, shooting, and even had a speciality in crafting bombs. And of course, Griffin had something that no other hitman had: the ability to vanish at the blink of an eye. It only took around a year to forge his reputation. He was the ghost kid, the boy with the angel face and deadly hands. Some men liked to hire Griffin because of his occassionally brutal tactics. If he was out of bullets, he could always drop the target in a wild forest fire, or at the bottom of the ocean. He was a merciless killer and impossible to catch. In short, he was a mob boss' dream. Griffin knew the time would come when finally, he would see the face that stayed in his dreams for fifteen years. And he would gut the bastard until there was nothing left inside of him.

CURRENT SITUATION: Griffin can be a hard man to find, never really holding one base of operations. After all, in his line of work, he made a lot of enemies. Some people knew of his talent, others just knew that he was a very fast worker. Either way, he could have been anywhere. He does have one spot, directly outside of the city, at the corner the Monacello and Vescovo borders. Griffin didn't discriminate; he would allow anyone to hire him, at the right price. Griffin did need to make good money, he had no other job. Griffin still is an assassin and a mercenary at twenty-one years old, still looking for his true target.
