Jake Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

Jake Morgendorffer was the only son of emotionally abusive parents. In particular, his overbearing father, nicknamed [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer]], tormented his son mercilessly and ultimately shipped him off to military school the first chance he could. Jake's time in military school would further traumatizetraumatized him, as his parents refused to visit him and all but outright forgot about him until graduation.

AfterwordsAfterwards, Jake enrolled in college and met his future wife [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]]. The two were part of the hippie counter-culture at the time, which was a calming influence to the seething cauldron of repressed rage and hatred for the world around him and for his father, who by that point had died. The two moved into a commune after graduation and got married.

Jake and Helen ultimately had two daughters, [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]]. By this point the family was living in the fictional town of "[[Highland"]], Texas, (home of [[Beavis and ButtheadButt-head]]). The family stayed there for several years before moving to the fictional town of [[Lawndale]]. It has been heavily implied, that the family moving came with Jake's decision to quit his job and start his own freelance advertising consultant firm. The move was designed to give Jake the freedom of being his own boss and to free him from the stress-filled environment in which he used to work in.
