Jarrod is a member of a secret society that call themselves “Brotherhood of Fallen Angels”, a group of renegade shamans and voodooists who practice voodoo and dark arts to bring harm to those who oppose their views of the world. Jarrod is a voodooist whose specialty is summoning insects. He can transform them into various weapons like broadswords, knives, lances, and more. He stores his insects within a void inside his body, so he can use them whenever he wants. He also not above using Voodoo dolls to torture his victims that stand his or his brotherhood’s way. Jarrod can be seen as a condescending person, always looking down those who he deems to be weak. He also values his insects over his comrades, often saying that they are his kin. His wicked views also clashes with Locke and Concordia, so they often have bloody skirmishes each time they meet. However, interesting enough, he doesn’t consider them to be a threat, only an annoyance. Their true enemies are the Witches from the Nightmare Covenant with the super-strength Anri as his rival. The two of them have a strong grudge against each other. Long ago, Anri used be his friend. But, the differences between the two secret societies began to clash, sparking years of hatred and prejudice. He can easily hold his own against her, but Anri always wins. Jarrod is very loyal to his master, King as he took him under his wing when his family was mercilessly eaten by his locusts. King taught him how to better channel his powers. In years’ time, Jarrod became the second-in-command of the Brotherhood.

Finally, I get to draw one of the villains in Destiny Core! YAY! As I drew this character, I thought about what kind of powers to give this guy. At first, he was only going to use his insect horde to fight for him, but I wanted to mix it up by morphing them into actual weapons to fight against Locke. Anri is not the only rival he has to face. The inspiration of the flying locusts came from The Pain (MGS3), although he uses bees in the game. Jarrod can also spew killer bees from his mouth to seek out his prey and explode upon impact. He was originally supposed to have purple hair and wear an all-blue attire, but it got changed during the final designs. The relationship between Jarrod and Anri will be explored in the story, since they used to be platonic friends.
