Jersey Devil

Andrew "Jersey Devil" Fischer (PL 10): Contrary to common perception that he hails from New Jersey, Andrew grew up in Philadelphia.  An African American boy, he grew up in a ghetto in Philly where, while he ran with a gang in his early teenage years, he has always had an affinity for reading, and aspired to be a writer.  Those plans changed when, at age 16, he underwent a radical and excruciatingly painful transformation.  His body had changed to that of a short, furry beast with bat-like wings, wicked claws, cloven-hoofed feet and a long thin tail.  The emergence of elites in the world was a relatively new phenomenon, so most people reacted with horror in response to Andrew's new form.  Persecuted by strangers as well as those he once knew as friends, he began to lash out, nearly killing a member of the gang he once ran with.  Things may have turned out badly for Andrew had he not received a visit from an elite that was gaining popularity throughout the world: Paragon.  During a visit to the US, Paragon met with Andrew, and asked the boy if he would join him in a televised speech he was giving.  Paragon used Andrew as an example for those that would persecute elites based on how they looked.  Andrew soon became quite famous, getting roles in a few more-or-less forgettable horror and fantasy movies before he eventually was asked to join the new American Freedom team in 2011.  He has become a very popular member, especially with the younger crowd, but many people still feel some unease when around him in person.  His autobiography, "The Devil Inside," is due for release early next year.
