Jordan was short-tempered, quick to assault others, like Ellie, and argue, even with his superiors, notably Mike and Owen. He was willing to use torture, or at least the threat of torture, during interrogations. However, Jordan was also patient, wanting to keep Ellie alive to learn their enemies' whereabouts despite Mike's protests.Not much is known about Jordan's early life, only that he joined the Washington Liberation Front at some point, and befriended Abby Anderson and her former Firefly.
