Appearance & Personality: Big and strong would be a good way to describe Terry Morton, who hails from Nantucket, Massachusetts. His quick temper and liking of a drink has seen him in a lot of trouble, something which has prevented him rising above the rank of able seaman. However he is a staunch and stalwart friend once you get to know him.
Background: Terry Morton grew up in the former whaling community of Nantucket and as soon as he could he left his home where he received little but regular beatings for any minor misdemeanour. He feels little love for his mother and nothing whatsoever for his father, in fact when he found out his father had died he celebrated got locked up for fighting with some naval types. He always had an interest in old things, starting off with the scrimshaw carvings his home island was famous for and as he sailed the world this grew into other areas. He gained the name 'Jelly Roll' because of his surname, because he looks like the famous musician and because he could play the piano in a similar Jazz style fairly well.
When his last ship was docking in Cairo last year, a mooring cable snapped and had he not ducked at the right moment, he would have been decapitated. As it was; it only grazed his left shoulder, but it did enough damage to cause considerable damage to his shoulder blade. Rather than return to America to convalesce, he chose to recuperate in Cairo where he has remained for better part of the last year. His injury has frozen his left shoulder slightly as he continues his recovery.
