looks like we have a new TWENTY TWO year old in town. the only thing they remember is that they’re called JEROME VALESKA. i’ve been observing them, they seem pretty DETERMINED & HEARTLESS. recently, ALL of their memories have been returning. they’re bound to cause some trouble.
Jerome was born the twin brother of Jeremiah Valeska, children of Lila Valeska and blind fortune teller Paul Cicero.
He was born and raised in Haly’s Circus
Jeremiah left home at a young age, getting adopted by a rich family and his name changed to Xander.
He was abused by his mother and uncle often because Jeremiah convinced them that Jerome was evil and deserved it.
He murdered his mother at age eighteen, leading to his arrest & incarceration at the Arkham Asylum.
He and other inmates were broken out by Theo Galavan.
He became the leader of a group named The Maniax, which wreaked chaos upon the city.
He was betrayed and killed by Theo Galavan.
A follower of his then resurrected him, allowing him to proceed to reign terror upon Gotham City.
Someone stole his face and he had to staple it back on.
He grew an obsession with Bruce Wayne and the idea of killing him.
When Sofia Falcone defeated Oswald Cobblepot, he was sent to Arkham Asylum once more & Jerome met Cobblepot there.
He successfully escapes with a few fellow inmates.
This evolves into an alliance named the Legion of Horribles consisting of Jervis Tetch, Jonathan Crane, Oswald Cobblepot, Mr. Freese, Firefly, and Solomon Grundy, along with Jerome himself. Their goal was to drive Gotham City into madness through the use of a Laughing Toxin developed by Scarecrow.
During a showdown between Gordon and Jerome on the top of a building, Jerome gets shot and falls to his second and final death.
He sends his twin brother a jack-in-the-box filled with the Laughing Toxin, sending Jeremiah into insanity, taking over Jerome’s role.
One day Jerome's life was quite normal. Steady job, biweekly paycheck, came home to an average size home and paid some of his bills before tucking away the rest of the money for emergencies.
The next day a slightly new sensation took over him. It was minor at first. He found he kept laughing at things that didn't need to be laughed over. His laugh, though the same, seemed more manic than full of humor. It moved on to things like mood swings, the sudden urge to kill and less of a care for other's feelings. He was driven, inspired to find Gotham and take over it, drive it insane like he had plans to do before. Except, he didn't know where Gotham was. Maybe Anville would be just as good, if he could find the right crew...
He's psychotic, has no real care for his safety or the safety of others. Seriousness isn't something he enjoys, often channeling his dark feelings into laughter, causing his iconic laugh to ring around the room whenever something bad happens. Full of ambition and drive, he'll do whatever he needs to, to accomplish his goals and make sure he gets the credit for it.
