PERSONAL HISTORY:

J. Jenks is a full-time lawyer and a part-time criminal. He is known in certain circles as being one of the best document forgers available. He learned the art from his mentor and former partner, who originally worked with the Cullens. J. prefers not to use an office for most of his illegal clients; instead, he uses a run-down place in the ghetto as a contact point. He also conducts legitimate business as Jason Jenks, an attorney with a fancy office in a skyscraper in Seattle, and as Jason Scott, an attorney with a modest practice in the suburbs.

J. started working for Jasper Hale and the rest of the Cullen family in the late 1980s. He doesn‘t know that the Cullens are vampires, but he does know he is dealing with the supernatural, thanks to the fact that Jasper never ages. Because he is paid well — and because Jasper has manipulated his emotions to make sure he fears the Cullens — J. always gives Jasper top priority and does not talk about the Cullens to others.
