PROFILE: JEFFREY BRISBANE

Full name: Jeffrey Brisbane Nickname: J-Man First appeared in “The Case of the Crazy Kidnapping”. DOB: December 12, 1981; Sydney, Australia.  (age 15 when first appeared) Occupation: Student. Habits: - Likes: Table tennis, playing the guitar, magic. Dislikes: Snakes. Favorite saying: "Fear can take you prisoner, hope will set you free."

Appearance:
Green eyes, usually has spiked hair, wears leather jackets sometimes, strong and broadly built, usually in a happy mood, not much of a joker and serious with times, open & loyal. Has Australian accent.

Abilities:
Opposed to his lack of knowledge of chemistry Jeffrey has many other abilities. Among other things he is quite a skilled guitar player (even though he never made it as a pro). He is also good with computers and fluent in several foreign languages due to visits to his father on his tours (Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, German, and French). Because of this he also learned some slights of hand that come in handy very much during crime solving with Shirley (example: pick-pocketing). Being Australian he is also able to throw a boomerang. To round off his busy schedule he also plays professional table tennis in a club.

Feelings:
As soon as Jeffrey met Shirley he developed feelings for her that, until now at least where unanswered, except for the few meaningful glares he got but didn’t notice. He feels it is hard to find out what she really thinks, but has no intentions to give up finding out. He doesn’t see Bo as a threat because of that. He is still a friend. That’s due to his outward orientation and loyalty to friends. For a long time he felt guilty about what happened to Mark during the ‘accident’ caused by The Color Brigade. 

Whenever Jeffrey  is confronted with injustice, violence, or sadness, his initial response is anger. But he usually resolves the conflict by staying calming and outsmarting the opposition.

MGM's Comments:
Jeffrey is a mix of all the things I like. He is friendly, knows magic, and has a mother that works in the chemistry sector. And since I know about these things and like them, it is easy to write about Jeffrey. It is odd though, that the picture with this file isn't permanent. It doesn't matter how hard I try, but I can't make an image that holds on him. His hair color, for example, is something I'm still not sure of.

Furthermore, Jeffrey is a direct product of my idea to write a series (inspired by HA's terrific work). The moment the first story popped into my head, Jeffrey came with it. His name came from the Australian show 'Ocean Girl', in which Jeffrey Walker (good actor) plays the role of Brett Bates. That might be part of the reason why Jeffrey is Australian.
