Jersey Morelli

Jersey Morelli is an 18-year-old computer hacker living in his mother's apartment in New York City, New York in the United States on Earth.

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. His father, Jason Morelli, is a Corporal in the ONI Signal Corps on an extended tour of duty posted in deep space. His mother, Bonita, works as a waitress at a hotel and is often away from home.

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.

Jersey was last heard from in I Love Bees when he revealed to Durga that he had contacted the draft board. It is unknown if he fought in the Human-Covenant war, completed his basic training or even joined the UNSC Marine Corps before the cessation of hostilities in 2553.
