JEREMIAH VALESKA: Intro
Sooo... about looking like Joker:
-An important thing to note is that even though Jeremiah looks like the Joker, he is not the Joker. He did not do anything that Joker did in the comics.
Short Bio (Too long didn't read):
-Jeremiah Valeska was born in Haley’s Circus with his twin Jerome. After leaving the circus “for his own safety” as a kid, Jeremiah spends most of his life following that incident in hiding from his twin brother. Until he is found by Jerome and he transforms from the reserved person he was into something a lot more sinister.
Long Bio:
-Jeremiah grew up in Haley's Circus with his twin brother Jerome. The two of them were abused by their uncle but Jerome took the brunt of it. Often protecting his twin.
-During their time in the circus together, Jerome did a few questionable things and took out his frustrations on Jeremiah. However, Jeremiah started lying about the extent of what Jerome had been doing to him for his mother's attention. He still lies about his childhood as well as getting it mixed up and confused. The insanity spray messed with his memory and he's having a difficult time remembering what is true and what is false.
-At some point in his childhood, probably somewhere between 10-12. Jeremiah told his mother that he was in true danger and that Jerome would kill him. Believing him, his mother sent Jeremiah away to an orphanage to be re-homed in Gotham. Jeremiah was adopted by a rich family and sent away to a private school. There he got the best education possible in Gotham city and graduated early.
-Jeremiah grew more and more paranoid as he lived his life. Fearing that his twin brother would one day track him down and kill him. Jeremiah began using the alias "Xander Wilde" and became a genius engineer. Earning millions for his work.
-What did he do with all that money? Still living his life in fear of Jerome, Jeremiah built a giant underground labyrinth to live in and lived with his proxy and personal assistant Ecco, who went outside for him. For years, Jeremiah was a hermit who did not see the light of day.
-Until Jerome came for him again. Long story short, Jerome managed to get him on a stage in front of a live audience and he began telling everyone, including Jeremiah, that he was as crazy as he was. All he wanted was for Jeremiah to admit it and he refused to.
-When he was rescued and Jerome was no longer a danger to him. He returned home to find a present waiting for him in his study. Addressed to him from a dear friend. Unaware it was a trick, he opened the box and was sprayed by a gas that Jerome had the Scarecrow make for him. It was meant for Jeremiah to go completely insane and as soon as he was sprayed with it, he let out a manic laugh.
-Jeremiah has been continuing to act like Xander Wilde as he starts to change into a new person. Someone without the fear and anxiety he's always felt all his life. He's become more fearless and now ventures outside the safety of his Bunker and onto the wild and dangerous streets of Gotham. Slowly concocting a dangerous plan to out do his twin brother, Jerome.
-Ever since Jeremiah was sprayed, he's started to confuse reality from fiction. Slowly his mind has begun to pull what should be a linear thread of reality into knots and twists. He can't tell lies from truth, especially when it comes to the wild tales he spun at the circus.
