Jenkins, also known as 'the griefer', was the main antagonist in the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft". He has since only appeared once, in a crowd scene in "Britney's New Look". He presumably had no life until he was defeated.
Background
Jenkins is depicted as a stereotypical nerd who spends his time playing an online MMORPG called World of Warcraft. He has played to an such extent that even the game's developers and Game Managers can't kill him, as he has reached a level deemed impossible. He had once been made fun of in the game, so Jenkins decided to get revenge on people by killing any player he encountered.
After a couple of unsuccessful attacks against him, the boys finally manage to defeat him using the Sword of a
Appearance
Jenkins appears to be extremely overweight. This is supported by his excessive consumption of junk food and energy drinks. He is mostly bald with matted, unkept brown hair on the sides of his head. He wears a gray t-shirt with black trim and black sleeves. He has acne on his face, wears round framed glasses, and occasionally will have bits of food crumbs on his stomach. He also wears a wrist brace, most likely due to carpal tunnel syndrome, which would probably be brought on by his hand posture, poor health, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
His World of Warcraft character is mostly naked, having only yellow shorts, brown and green gloves, and tall purple and gold boots to wear. He wields a dagger and also wears an orange helmet. According to users who have played World of Warcraft, Jenkins' character wears the following in-game items:
- Skinning Knife
- Arcanist Boots
- Embossed Plate Helmet
- Tracker's Glove
