Major Story Arcs

House of Mystery

Jordan becomes a regular at the House and, given that he is a terrible storyteller, often helps out behind the bar to pay his tab. He occasionally acts in defence of the House and its patrons. He is in the House when it becomes trapped in the Space Between. He accompanies Fig Keele and her father Peter in an attempt to find a way out, and is nearly killed by Peter to provide the blood necessary to create a portal. He survives the attack, and escapes with the rest of the House. He falls in love with Fig, and is briefly her rebound guy after Harry is forcibly removed from the House by the Conception. He kills her brother, Strawberry, after Strawberry attacks Fig. When the Hunter of the Ages kills most of the bar, Jordan is able to place the correct hearts with each person by taste alone. He remains with the House for some time after Fig leaves it, before ultimately drifting away. He writes a movie that is closely based on his life in the House of Mystery, and which, while campy, becomes a cult hit.

Powers and Abilities

Jordan has no known superhuman powers or abilities. As a consequence of the world in which he grew up he is a skilled fighter, and has experience with both bladed weapons and firearms. He is a terrible storyteller.
