Mark Jefferson

Personality:   Jefferson is the archetype of a psychopath. Outwardly, Jefferson appears to be a charismatic and charming man, an active and passionate photographer and teacher. He seems to care about his students' work, ensuring that all of his students participate in the "Everyday Heroes" contest with a gentle reminder at the end of their classes so that they have the opportunity to progress in their artistic careers. However, his attitude towards Kate while she asks him for help in "No Time" already portrays him as someone cruel and insensitive. Jefferson appears to be wary of the flirtatious nature of his student Victoria Chase. Despite her efforts to flirt with him, he rejects her; especially when she becomes more explicit in "Chaos Theory". This could be due to the value he places on innocence. In reality, Jefferson is a cold individual who cares very little for others, with a dark obsession with capturing the "innocence" of others. He is obsessed with the idea of "capturing that moment when innocence evolves into corruption", and is willing to kill anyone he considers a hindrance to him or his plans, stopping at nothing to achieve his personal goals. He is willing to manipulate others for his benefit while he ensures that they remain silent. Jefferson seems to have situations planned well in advance, this combined with his high intelligence and cunning that has allowed him to continue what he is doing without getting caught. Mark Jefferson is a tall man of average build in his late 30s. He has brown hair and eyes. As an art teacher, Mark has a modern and relaxed appearance. His attire is elegant and casual; He wears black loafers, blue jeans, and a white shirt with a black blazer over it. He also wears fashionable black and white glasses. Crimes / records: Jefferson was born in Arcadia Bay and at some point in his life, developed an interest in art and photography as a student. He attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago, most likely majoring in photography. It is likely that he graduated with high honors. Eventually, Jefferson's work would become widely recognized during the 1990s and this would lead him to become a well-established photographer, with his most popular work being his black and white shots. His work focuses specifically on black and white portrait photography and shots of female models in sexual positions, although he has a diverse portfolio. His shots have been published on the covers of several fashion magazines and he also has his own book published on how to take the perfect photograph. It appears that Jefferson has very strict opinions about art and photography and is willing to criticize other artists' opinions on specific art styles, for example her early comments about the famous photographer Diane Arbus. He firmly believes in the beauty and innocence that art should maintain, so he believes that true beauty is almost impossible to obtain "without a heartbeat." In the late 2000s, Jefferson took a well-publicized detour into teaching across the country, inevitably ending up in a permanent position at Blackwell Academy. When offered a teaching position at Blackwell Academy in Arcadia Bay, Jefferson accepted this position as an art teacher. This would lead to a huge rise in Blackwell's popularity as large numbers of students from across the country applied for a place on Mr Jefferson's course, including Victoria Chase and Max Caulfield, who were successful. Much of his work is displayed around the Blackwell campus, particularly on the front of the building in large-scale outdoor frames. However, Jefferson used his position as an art teacher to find and seduce suitable models for his illegal photography that takes place in the Dark Room, a bunker in the possession of the Prescott family. It is unknown when exactly Jefferson became involved with the Prescotts. It's very likely that they had some kind of connection before Jefferson returned to Arcadia Bay to teach. It is more likely that they participated in Jefferson's crime photography for quite some time. Upon his return, she was allowed full access to the bunker, the darkroom, and his fortune. In exchange, Jefferson would mentor Nathan and allow him to photograph the models in the darkroom, but in reality, Jefferson was manipulating Nathan.
