Jesse Murphy

From Activating Evolution

Unique Ability: Sound manipulation Detail: Generates destructive sound waves from his voice. Control index: 66%

Jesse Murphy grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his mother and younger sister. Jesse's father maintained little contact with the family beyond short stays to avoid law enforcement or transition to his next temporary home. In conjunction with Jesse's mother's inability to stay employed consistently due to her limited English skills, Jesse was forced to spend most of his childhood fending for himself, much to his frustration.

By the age of sixteen Jesse left home permanently, finding work as a runner in the Las Vegas casino circuit. Over the next two years, his interactions with gambling syndicates led to a reputation as a consistent performer and interaction with a number of major Las Vegas gangs. Surveillance footage obtained from the Corinthian Casino's security feed shows the subject appearing frequently near big-win situations and being directed into contact with the winners, many of whom were reported missing soon afterward. Toward the end of Jesse's times in Las Vegas, gang informants reported that Jesse had begun to display an increasingly violent thirst for power and vengeance for real and imagined slights.

Company agents finally secured Jesse immediately after a brutal massacre of both civilians and gang members near the Best Dogs Diner Los Angeles. Intelligence developed during the operation has led the Company to believe the same incident to be where Jesse met his first and only significant accomplice: Knox.

Aggressive stress testing has revealed the subject's deep-seated anger toward authority, stemming from his childhood frustration with his parents and their own difficulties assimilating with culture. The resulting repressed anger was severely aggravated by the subject's chronic lack of socialization during adolescent development, in turn resulting in patterns of deeply habitualized violence. While a definite link has not yet been established between the peaking of the subject's anti-social behaviors and the manifesting of his highly destructive ability, further rounds of testing are being designed.

An additional trait that should be noted is the subject's classic ritualization of vengeance and revenge motifs. This portion of the subject's personality was abruptly focused by his capture at the hands of agent Noah Bennet and The Haitian in Los Angeles. The Company has significant psychological and physical evidence including extensive voice recordings that the subject has developed a deeply pathological and malignant fixation with Agent Bennet.
