J.D. is a loner who immediately attracts the eyes of his soon-to-be girlfriend, Veronica Sawyer. His first interaction at school is a fight between him, Ram Sweeney, and Kurt Kelly, where he forms this bad boy persona. Veronica later finds out that he is a rather sweet and loving individual, but this is merely a mask for a much more sinister personality. In truth, J.D. has a twisted and manipulative mind that feels the need to purge the world of its evil, starting with the student body.
