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 Morelli]], works as a waitress at a hotel and is often away from home. When he was a child his father brought home a vacsuit after an accident had left him stranded in space for more than ten hours. The young Jersey would put on the vacsuit and run around the tenement pretending he was an ODST.

In the year [[2552]], Jersey's home computer was invaded by a confused fragment of [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], a top-class [[AI]] from the spy ship [[Apocalypso]]. He named the fragment [[Durga]], thinking that it suited her. The only thing Durga could 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 [[chatter]]s of people around her, building a picture of her life.

Although he first used her as a tool to spy on [[Janissary James|Jan James]], 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. She became increasingly important to him after he confronted his mother about her affair, resulting in a strained relationship between them.

It was through Jersey that Durga recruited the members of what would come to be known as "[[Team Jersey]]." This team, comprised of Jersey, Durga, Jan, [[Kamal Zaman]] and [[Rani Sobeck]], infiltrated [[Chawla Base]] in [[Boston]] in order to deactivate the [[Deep-Space Artifact|mysterious artifact]] being held there. The artifact was found to be in a room filled with argon, and since Jersey was the only one with experience in a vacsuit he was selected as the one to enter the room and turn off the artifact. Although he was successful he was jumped by the technicians inside and had to be rescued by Jan.
