Jerry Gryante

"Our lucky boy"

"Enrolled with C&C together with Roldy Greenett"

Story

Jerry Gryante is or better was a prodigy of the wealthy Gryante family an their respective business back on earth, specializing in medical and agricultural "creative" solutions. One of the advertised goals of the Gryante Corporation indeed was to find novel food supplies. These include "new" crops like insect and mushroom farms, which might be harvested on small asteroids and even earth itself. However, the portfolio of the Gryante Corporation soon evolved beyond that field and now also encompasses basic medical and chemical products. Even if the official channels still emphasis the beneficial character of the corporation, rumors did not stop that Gryante also deals in some shady business as well.

Jerry Gryante is the youngest of three children. His father Thomas Gryante currently leads the Gryante Corporation in third generation after inheriting the mantle of CEO from Jerry's grandfather. Thomas indeed was and still is a very strict man, putting great expectations on his children and "encouraging" them to "live up to the name". Both Jerry's sibling Olivia and John were able to live up to this high standard, Jerry not so much.

Jerry always preferred a spoiled and lavish lifestyle, keeping his escapades hidden from his family for the longest times. Parties and gambling were his favorite hobbies. This combined with his admittedly snobbish attitude did not exactly grant him a lot of real friendships. This he would encounter the hard way, when his father finally got wind of his allures and disowned him in front of his own family.

This is when Jerry vowed to "life up to the name" in his own way. However reality hit him hard, as his former circle of friends where all to eager to abandon the now poor Gryante heir. He lived from day to day for some time, using his gambling abilities to keep him aloof. This reality check striped him of some his former snobby attitude (you can't convince people, when you talk down to them). At least that is, what Gryante thinks of himself.

He recently Roldy Greenett after one of his gambling rounds in a bar. He first encountered him during one of his former "friends" birthday parties as an entertainer. They drank together and Greenett told him, he would hire for C&C. More as a joke Jerry applied for C&C as well: They both filed the application on this very night in the bar. To his surprise, he was accepted as a new employee of C&C. Jerry realized, this was the first time he was employed in a business not owned by one of his family members. Seeing this as a sign he enrolled with C&C. Perhaps this is a way to won up to the family name?

Jerry Gryante is about 1,73m in height with short brown hair and brown eyes. His clothes normally composes of things he can afford, which means they are functional but have seen better times as Jerry himself.

Jerry has a knack for improvisation and always trusts his gut feelings. And he is sure that even his situation seems dire for now, cats always land on their feed, right. He just needs a little bit of luck. And his social skills will surely help him to win a few new real friends. Who would not want to be friends with Jerry, right?

Even if Jerry does not admit it, he does not have any deep insight into the Gryante family business. However, he heard from his siblings and father of some "medical transactions" regarding the Corporation. Something not in the books, but that is all he knows...

Jerry would never admit it, but his father gave him the opportunity to amend for his "transgressions". However in his pride Jerry denied this opportunity due to his fathers manipulative ways (or more to his own pride to be honest) ...
