Jersey Morelli
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Human Character Infobox Jersey Morelli is an 18-year-old civilian living in his mother's apartment in New York City, New York on Earth.
Family
His father, Jason Morelli is a Corporal in the ONI Signal Corps. His mother, Bonita, works as a waitress at a hotel and is often away from home.
Background
Jersey has a laid-back, easy-going personality. He enjoys listening to 20th century jazz music, particularly the pieces his father likes. He lives in the same building as Janissary James, and they share the same friends.
Durga
In the year 2552, Jersey's home computer was invaded by a confused fragment of Melissa, a top-class AI from the spy ship Apocalypso. He named the fragment Durga, thinking that it suited her. Durga could only 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 chatters of people around her, building a picture of her life.
Although he first used her as a tool to spy on Jan, 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 parent.
Trivia
- Early in production, Jersey's name was once Singh.[1]
