FICTIONAL BIOGRAPHY

Headline text
Griffin O'Connor is a Jumper. Griffin and his parents originally lived in the United Kingdom, until he made his first jump at the age of five. After several suspicious events involving Paladins, they were forced to move from place to place, every time Griffin broke the rules.

While living in San Diego, California, at the age of nine, he reflexively jumped away from a bully after karate class, and his parents were soon tracked down and killed by Paladins. To reduce the depth of the police investigation, they planted cocaine at the crime scene, to create the impression of them being involved in drug-related crimes.

After surviving the Paladin attack on his home, he lived for several years with Sam, the man who found him at the Empty Quarter, and his partner Consuelo; shortly after revealing his ability to them, they were killed by the Paladins.

Eventually, Griffin was able to build a semi-permanent shelter (which he called the Hole), the predecessor to the Lair, underground. This, too, was found by the Paladins after years of living in it.

It is not clear how Griffin met Roland, as there is a gap of at least several years between the end of Jumper: Griffin's Story and the film, but the two met at least once, in Prague. During their encounter there, Griffin got a large scar on his neck during the fight with Roland,which we notice in Jumper,when Griffin shows the scar to David, as an example of how dangerous Roland is. It is known, however, that he was able to build the Lair and collect a small arsenal during that period of time.

JUMPER Main article: Jumper (film)

We first witness Griffin briefly in the film,when David jumps at a bar in London,we then see him again at the pub where Millie works in Ann Arbor. The next time we see him is when he is in Rome,where David has taken Millie for a romantic trip. We find out that Griffin has been tracking David for quite some time (presumably ever since he first realised David was a Jumper,back in the bar in London),he warns David of his jumping attracting the attention of Paladins,whom appear in the colosseum,we realise Griffin's jumping talent and the hunter's ability to sense jumps,Griffin kills both Paladin's,which result in David being arrested by the police. Back at Griffin's lair,Griffin explains to David about the Paladins and tells him that he hunts and kills them,as revenge for the death of his parents when he was 5. Griffin tells David to leave him,before making a seris of jumps,David following him in pursuit, until Griffin eventually agrees to work with him.

Later on in the film,David brings Millie to Griffin's lair,where he fins Griffin outside the lair,after arming up, when Griffin notices that David brought Millie with him to the lair, Griffin is furious and explains to David that the Paladins have a machine, allowing them to reopen and traverse the short-lived "jump scar" wake left by a Jumper's teleportation-David has led Roland right to Griffin's lair. A battle ensues between both Paladins and Griffin and David, Griffin manages to force the Paldins back where they came from,Millie's apartment, with a flame thrower, although Millie is captured through the jump scar before it closes, and is held hostage by the Paladins. Griffin plots to teleport a bomb into the apartment to finish off the Paladins, David attempts to prevent Griffin from doing so, as he wants to save Millie, which leads to a fight between the both of them, resulting in Griffin getting trapped in a downed pylon in the midst of a firefight in Chechnya, leaving his fate unknown.
