Jersey had a laid-back, easy-going personality. He enjoyed listening to 20th century Jazz Music, particularly the pieces his father likes. He lived in the same building as [[Janissary James]], and they shared some of the same friends. His father, [[Jason Morelli]], was a [[Corporal]] in the [[ONI]] Signal Corps on an extended tour of duty posted in deep space. His mother, [[Bonita Morelli]], worked as a waitress at a hotel and was often away from home. When he was a child his father brought home a vacsuit after an accident had left him stranded in space for more than ten hours. The young Jersey would put on the vacsuit and run around the tenement pretending he was an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]].

He named the fragment [[Durga]], thinking that it suited her. The only thing Durga could remember that she liked to find things out, so Jersey asked her to get info on Jan. The [[AI]] compiled extensive audio files from the [[chatter]]s of people around her, building a picture of her life.

Although he first used her as a tool to spy on Jan James, he came to appreciate her company. She was someone he could speak to honestly, without fear of betrayal, and he grew to love her as a surrogate sister figure.
