JEREMIAH AMADEUS ARKHAM
Nicknames: Jerry and whatever the patients cook up next
Alias[es]: None
Age: 35
Physical Appearance:
If one were to look at Jeremiah, they would see the face of a man who had once been very handsome, very suave, very attractive. Those who knew him in his college would tell you that Jeremiah had eyes that seemed to bore into your mind and pull out your inner thoughts. He had had a youthful and ambitious glow about him, ready to take on the world, whatever may come. But that slowly faded away as he grew up, and eventually inherited Arkham Asylum from his uncle, Amadeus Arkham, the creator and late director of the Asylum. Jeremiah threw himself into his work, and much like his uncle, became obsessed with the minds of the insane. Jeremiah's skin paled and those once brilliant eyes went gaunt. Deep bags settled under his eyes, and he seems to always have a five O' clock shadow, even if he shaves.
Jeremiah's attire usually consists of bland clothes. Sweater vests over faded colored shirts crisp with bleach, along with tan slacks and a worn pair of leather dress shoes. Because of his dedication to his work, Jeremiah doesn't put much care into what he looks like at work. He usually just throws on a doctor's coat to top off the look and set off about his day. Though, Jeremiah can be cleaned up from time to time, if and when there is some sort of get together in Gotham such as benefit dinners or birthdays for Gotham's elite. However, even in the most expensive suit, those dark circles and the look of a worn brilliance and potential is still stained on his being.
Distinguishing Marks:
Has a birthmark on his upper back that looks like a seahorse.
Played By: Zachary Quinto
Strengths:
Psychiatry: Jeremiah seemed to inherit his uncle's talent for digging into people's minds and seeing the problems behind insanity. He can read people very well and can usually find the cause or reason for a mental disorder. Jeremiah isn't afraid to open up doors, and try to dust out other people's closets. He finds the human mind absolutely fascinating, especially if it has been damaged by madness.
Intelligence: Jeremiah is extremely gifted in the brains department. Having graduated with a degree in Psychotherapy and Evaluation from Oxford and going on to get sis Masters and PhD at Princeton, Jeremiah kind of had to be. He has the excellent ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate every situation, preferring to be a watcher, an observer.
Apathy: Jeremiah is very good at removing and drawing himself from situations and relationships. He doesn't get attached very easily, he can't. It's part of the job. He prefers to keep himself at a distance.
Weaknesses:
His Work: His work is his drug, his lover, and his enemy. Jeremiah, like his uncle before him, is completely obsessed with the criminally insane and the minds that drive them to do the horrendous things they do.[/i
His patients: They fascinate him. If his work is his sordid lover, his patients are the tainted kisses of some false form of intimacy. He loves hearing their stories, no matter how bloody or brutal they may be. He finds the minds of these men and woman to be darkened by something deeper than the mind, deeper than disease. He has devoted the rest of his existence to finding out exactly what that is.
His past: He doesn't like talking about it. At all.
Personality Traits:
Insane? Many people have speculated about the state of mind Jeremiah is in. Could he be turning into the very men and woman he has been studying?
Workaholic. He devotes every fiber of his being to his work at Arkham Asylum.
Sarcastic. Jeremiah is extremely difficult to work with, just ask his peers. He can be somewhat of a douchebag to others, but mostly people just chalk it up to the long hours he spends working.
Secret(s/)Motive(s): Jeremiah really is going steadily insane, and most of his patients know it. They know madness, and they can almost taste his state of mind. No one knows when Jeremiah will crack, but when it does happen, what will happen to Arkham?
