Early Life[]
Jefferson Davis was born in 1974 in New York City to unnamed parents, and was born five years after his older brother, Aaron. Jefferson was close with his brother, and the two spent their youth walking around New York trying to find unique sounds to make their samplers. Around 2001, Jefferson became a police officer, and according to Yuri Watanabe, was investigating Wilson Fisk and his operations by the events of the game. During the 2000s, Jefferson would meet a woman named Rio Morales, and the two later married and moved to Brooklyn despite her roots being in Harlem. The two would have a son together named Miles, who would spent his early years taking apart the family's television set.
While chaperoning a field trip with his son at the Empire State Building, Jefferson witnessed the vigilante Spider-Man battle his foe the Vulture. He proceeded to evacuate all of the students, but when Miles wanted to help Spider-Man, Davis worried for his son's safety, but also realized that Miles was a "born hero". Jefferson would often take time out of his schedule to spend time with Miles, such as taking him to numerous museums, making scavengers hunts with Rio, and playing basketball with Aaron. Around this time, Jefferson started to investigate the "Prowler", a mysterious criminal for hire, and he later later learned that it was Aaron via a confession. Hurt by his brother's actions, Jefferson cut all ties with Aaron, and refused to allow his brother to approach his son at all.
