Jedediah Crane was born in 1831 in modern day Arkansas. He grew up in the era of the Oregon Trail, dreaming of one day traveling this route himself further west. Instead he found himself still stuck in the same spot in the mid 1860's as the Wild West era took off, and began working as a gun for hire and bounty hunter. During this time he had an encounter with a cryptid in the area, Bones, which shifted his limited worldview to try and encompass things beyond his understanding.

During a raid in 1867 he was bitten and turned into a vampire. With the vampire that turned him killed in the ensuing fight and nowhere else to go, Jedediah found himself going back to talk with Bones, the only non-human person he had met before. It was quickly clear it didn't speak english, but there at least was an established understanding between the non-humans that helped Jedediah to cope with his new situation.

After spending years on the fringes of human society Jedediah decided it was time to find somewhere new, and in 1895 began traveling east to the Appalachian mountains. Here he lived in the forest and amongst the mining towns in the area, until he heard of the Appalachian trail that was being built in the area. He began traveling up and down the eastern coast along this trail, meeting strangers from all over and learning their stories. Through this he stayed connected with human society, though still from a distance.

While living along the Appalachian trail he began to hear stories of Carlos Spectre and Spectrecorps forming through the 90's, and while curious, didn't give much thought to it until meeting a trail partner named Honeybee. After spending months traveling together and having a heart-to-heart, he decided it was time to stop hiding and at least make an attempt to reconnect with society. And considering SC is known for working with the occult, he figures that's a good place to start. After getting in contact with an American branch of SC and a life-changing plane ride across the ocean, Jedediah Crane is now an employee of SC.

Jedediah Crane started life as a prideful, cocky, yet incredibly cowardly man. He wouldn't hesitate to turn on a friend for cash or a better deal in life, and would abandon a fight if it at least meant escaping with his own life. This mindset quickly turned with him being thrown so suddenly into the world of the occult, and having to come to terms with understanding things he never imagined before.

Eventually this shift in personality to someone more understanding and empathetic towards others grew further with his travels along the Appalachian mountain range, meeting people from all walks of life and learning their stories, and funding friends amongst strangers. Given decades of traveling with others, sharing food and other supplies, keeping watch and making sure they were safe, and strangers doing the same for him, he learned to care deeply about others, even people he only knew for a few days. While still reserved, he tries his best to learn from others and hear their stories, and not cast judgement on strangers quite as easily.
