Jerry Archer character Bio.

History: Born in New York City, Jerry is the illegitimate child of police officer Michael Archer and Mrs. Zelanzy, Jerry had a tough upbringing. His mother was distraught by the pregnancy and soon left and abandoned Jerry shortly after she gave birth leaving him in the care of his father. However, his father become broken hearted by the separation and was a terrible parent. He was neglectful, rarely bonded with his son, and a couple of times, even beat him. But despite this, Jerry still revered his father as a great man, possibly to help him cope with his stressful life. A couple of times in his life, he met his mother and his younger half brother. But she kept his true identity a secret from her family. Growing up in the rough side of the Bronx, Jerry learned how to fight and use a pistol at a young age to help protect himself from bullies and other criminals on the streets. When he was eighteen, he joined the US Army and served in the 101st Airborne Division. During a conflict in the Middle East, he won a Silver Star award for dragging a fellow soldier to safety. He left the army at 20 and returned to New York and became a police officer. He was a very good cop and achieved great success. He also met the his beautiful future wife, Jennifer and shortly after they were married, she gave birth to a daughter. But soon, things took a turn for the worst. Three years after his daughter's birth, he helped the NYPD successfully raid a weapons cache disguised a commercial fishing vessel in New York Harbor. A few days later, he came home and found his wife raped and murdered. What was worse, he was framed for the murder and spent over a year in prison and lost custody of his daughter. He escaped thanks to the help of a sympathetic corrections officer but ended wondering around the United States, depressed and on the run from the US Marshals. He also became an alcoholic and drug addict. But one day, he received an anonymous tip saying that his wife had been murdered by the infamous Wolf Syndicate, a dangerous international Russian Mafia Criminal organization. Against the wishes of his friends, Jerry gathered as much money as he could, grabbed his trusty P226, and went on a search to find the Wolf Syndicate. While searching in London investigating the Russian mafia's activities, he came across his half-brother Owen, a reluctant yet faithful London police officer, and a mysterious but beautiful vixen named Jessica. He also made enemies with notorious criminal Tony Caulfield. He is currently traveling around investigating the Russian mafia all while trying to escape Caulfield and trying to clear his name. Last time he was seen, London. His current location though is Munich, Germany.

Personal quote:
"To be honest, the best I've heard about this Wolf Syndicate only comes from rumors. Supposedly it was formed in 1992 by a bunch of former Russian KGB agents and other Russian military echelons after the fall of the cold war. They're the biggest Russian mafia in the world. And they're very dangerous but they just made the biggest mistake, they pissed me off!"
On Jessica- "There's something about this vixen. She's beautiful, hell part of me wants to fuck her. But she knows more than she's telling me."
"The Russians want me dead, Jackson wants me dead, and now some crazy cougar named Caulfield wants me dead. My life keeps getting better!"
