The Taxi Ride

Jarod Thompson- After his daughter, Lola, died during the peak collapse of '86, Jarod became a serial killer while using his occupation as a taxi driver as a cover and a way to lure his victims. He has no political disposition; his only motive is a twisted sense of vengeance. He seeks to kill both Sonya, to whom he sends death threats to almost everyday since the tragedy, and members of the Black Brigades, especially Robert Winters, their leader, as he is the one who recruited his daughter into the organization. Jarod also murders people unrelated to his daughter's death, possibly as a way to vent his anger, and has little remorse for murdering any of the teens you play as. When about to burn alive the player, he reveals that he has in fact done much worse than that on his previous murders. He himself is being hunted by Stan and Mitch as they know his plan to murder Sonya and wants to protect her. The taxi driver has an extremely short temper, despite his attempts to appear calm and composed. Anytime his daughter, the border, the peak collapse, or the Brigades are mentioned, he loses his temper and his cold anger rises. When his cold anger is too overwhelming, he doesn't hesitate to kill the teenager you play as. He is an experienced killer and disposes of the bodies flawlessly. He doesn't care about hell or the police, and makes sure he will get his revenge no matter the obstacle. He smokes dozens of cigarettes daily to avoid falling asleep. He gets sad when drunk, and still gives advice to hitchhikers to survive on the road. His way to cope with his loss is revenge, as well as trauma dumping on random teenagers. Jarod has pale skin, with huge eyebags, black short hair and black eyes. He always wears his black fedora, accompanied by a black jacket on top of a white shirt and red dino-patterned tie. He has slim jeans and is rather skinny and tall. His pale face shows a crooked nose, and a short beard. The left side of his face seems to be more or less paralyzed, as his left eye wanders outwards and that side of his mouth barely moves when he talks. He may have suffered a stroke or other health conditions. Seeking revenge for his daughter, he is also being chased by Stan and Mitch after they suspect of his plan to murder Sonya, he tracks Brigades everywhere, discovering each and every secret hideouts and meeting places.
