(Your characters history goes here.)
Jerome was born in 2252 in The Abbey of the Road and lived there until he was ordained a Priest. His parents raised him to be a morally upstanding person and to always treat others without preconceived judgement. He was taught by the priests how to read and write, and eventually he read almost the entire library they had, his favorite book was Paradise Lost. When he reached the age of ten his father started taking him on hunting trips, and one day Jerome strayed to far from his father and was kidnapped by a gang of raiders. They tortured and beat him, and he lost two of his fingers to their savagery. In all this he prayed the rosary for the five days he was held, until the Abbey's Knights burst down the doors of his captors hideout and made short work of them. Rather than shake his faith or be angered by their deeds, Jerome was saddened by the motivations people would have to stoop so low. He decided to enter into the priesthood at 16 and completed his training at the age of 24.
For a year he participated in a large scale mission in the commonwealth, before the institute tried to wipe them out. The mission is still ongoing, but it is on a much smaller scale and largely an underground movement, especially after aligning themselves with the railroad. After that he was assigned to help the newly incorporated Parish in Rivet City in the DC ruins, the Priest their, Father Clifford, had lost his acolyte and he was assigned to the Parish.
Now Jerome lives in Rivet City and helps administer to the spiritual needs of the ship, as well as the DC wasteland, with regular trips to Megaton and Big Town.
