Jayson "Jay" Walker (born 10 August 1993) is a British journalist, documentarian and current City Hall Press Secretary.
Personality
Upon Jay's arrival in the United States, he was idealistic, carefree, outgoing and carried a confidence that tipped in to cockiness.
A series of personal and professional setbacks - as well as life-changing events - have seen Jay develop a considerably more cautious and calculating personality, suffering bouts of defeatism and pessimism - but always determined to overcome these barriers for what he considers to be the greater good.
Jay has clung to a personal mission to help bring about societal change in a criminal state through the exposure of wrongdoing and encouragement of systematic reform.
Through documenting and reporting on the lives of others, Jay has unwittingly assimilated aspects of others' personalities in to his own. This is most evident when Jay is backed in to a literal or metaphorical corner - relying on his street knowledge picked up from other parties as to how to adapt and overcome in desperate circumstances.
Background
Before Los Santos
Little is known about Jay Walker's life before leaving the United Kingdom, but he has admitted on more than one occasion to being a social media officer for a mid-tier football club. He once claimed to having "wrote the Tweets" but did not have the authority to post them.
Arrival in San Andreas
Disheartened with his fledgling media career, Walker wrangled what money he could to fly to America's west coast, dreaming of untapped notoriety.
Arriving in a city brimming with Scottish immigrants, Walker stumbled upon the local Weazel News branch with its monotone branding and insidious political leanings. Walker was inspired to create a counter publication - bold, vibrant and eye-catching. JayWalking News was born.
Unsure where to start - and having spent the rest of his money on a cheap Asbo, Walker scanned Twitter and learnt of a car meet at the local Observatory that evening. Taking the opportunity to meet some of the city's citizens and snap a few pictures, Walker edited the first edition of JayWalking in the passenger seat of his car on an entirely legitimate version of Photoshop.
The reception was positive. City citizens were surprised that a relatively small event had received 'news' coverage. Walker had his target audience and delved in to the world of local news stories.
On an otherwise calm and pleasant summer evening, an unusual tweet changed the direction of Jay Walker's life and career. An anonymous account reported that there was "a body" in the trunk of a taxi cab outside of the local depot for Patterson's Cab Company. Walker travelled to the depot and found both a discarded cab crashed in to a bush across from the depot and also a police officer investigating in the depot yard itself. The officer told Walker that he had been responding to the tweet but had found no body. There had however been further reports of a taxi driver "with blue hair" attacking locals with a baseball bat. Against the officer's advice, Walker took it upon himself to find out more. This began the saga of Jay Walker vs Patterson's.
Outside of local reporting, Walker eventually took an interest in documentary filmmaking. Creating a short-lived documentary series titled Jay Walker's Weird Weekends, Walker followed two prominent figures in the City for a number of days, documenting their actions and questioning their backstories. Both completed documentaries were very successful but Walker's plans to create more fell through when the City was abandoned due to encroaching wildfires which combined to create a devastating inferno.
His contacts and business ambitions scattered to the wind, Walker was forced to sell his now-beloved Asbo and find a new place to call home.
Travelling the State
Trying to find a new home, Jay picked up a series of dead-end jobs in other cities. Whilst working as a pool cleaner to fund doomed vlogging ambitions, Jay was once again reunited with Oliver Patterson and the Taxi Bois. Together, trying to rebuild their own statuses, the pair formed an unlikely and dangerous alliance - ultimately leaving Jay indebted to Patterson until the latter mysteriously disappeared to the surprise of the Taxi Bois.
During this time attempting to rebuild his journalism career, Jay inadvertently found himself in the employ of a criminal organisation using a local Weazel News branch as a front. Upon accidentally writing a negative story about a subordinate of his criminal shadow-boss, Jay was stabbed and dumped in the ocean.
Unable to hold down a job long enough to afford a new Asbo, Jay resorted to a rusted Tornado and eventually a Brioso R/A financed by Oliver Patterson - which was immediately destroyed by the financier on a wild test drive and required towing back to the garage.
Los Santos
Early Days
In 2022, Jay arrived in his current home of Los Santos on an extended vacation - paid for by the remains of Patterson's loaned money, as well as a new purple Asbo. He took up running, yoga and endeavoured to build a healthier lifestyle before returning to the world of work. The tranquility was short-lived, however, when Jay realised that he no longer had the money to leave. Forced in to the world of manual labour, Jay took up a grape-picking role at a vineyard just outside of the city. Entrusting with also selling the final produce, Jay attempted to offload his wares at the UwU Cafe. It was there that Momo Curie and Mel Rose convinced Jay to revive JayWalking News and return to the world of journalism.
Enthused, Jay scouted out locations from where he could work, eventually renting a small office in the Darnell Bros textiles factory. Armed with a second-hand laptop, a notepad and a camera, Jay hit the streets looking for local news stories in the same manner he did upon first arriving in San Andreas. He soon encountered a group of recent arrivals known as The Johnnys.
Laws and Royalty
A determination to stay out of the kind of trouble he found previously with the Patterson Cab Company, however, was short-lived. A few days in to the job, Jay recieved an anonymous tip that there would be "fireworks" in the car part of the UwU Cafe late one evening. Jay ascended a nearby construction yard, where he was met by two masked men who forced him to film the upcoming proceedings. They informed Jay that their organisation had infiltrated most businesses in the city - from the street level to the high rises. Their motivations, however, were unclear. Observing the car park, Jay witnessed the explosive deaths of Mick and Daisy Law. The masked men fled the scene, leaving Jay to escape with the footage undetected.
At Pillbox Hospital, Jay met Johnny Kentucky and Johnny Five. Whilst the former was mourning the loss of The Laws, the latter questioned Jay as to his knowledge of the events that took place. Five informed Jay that these masked individuals were a Russian cabal known as The Royals. Following a close call with the masked men in an isolated parking lot, Jay and Five went their separate ways before Jay was picked up by The Royals in a black SUV and forced to play hostage for them during a bank robbery on the Great Ocean Highway.
Jay played down his prior knowledge of The Royals when questioned by the police on the scene, though the footage he possessed of the deaths of Mick and Daisy Law would eventually be handed over to Don Chester after its existence was leaked - presumably by The Royals themselves.
His continued loose associated with The Royals led Jay to be in possession of an illegal firearm for self defence and also alerted Jay to the existence of a Mexican Cartel with ties to Los Santos. This knowledge spooked Jay, and his discomfort was not aided upon having his car forcably stopped on a road near Mirror Park, where he was confronted by unknown masked individuals using voice changers to ensure he would not write about them or cover their existance in any way. Although he could not confirm it at the time, he had just met leading figures of the Cartel.
