Character Profile: Albert Casey Jones began life as a typical street punk living in the slums of New York. As Casey's mother had the good fortune to purchase the apartment building they lived in, Casey began the usual task of fixing it up. After high school graduation, CJ was accepted at NYU, and played for the college hockey team. He was later drafted for a professional team, but after only one year of playing, he was badly injured. Unable to vent his frustrations on the ice, he decided (after watching a couple of news reports) to do something about the neighborhood crime. He grabbed a golf bag and his favorite sports equipment, and headed for the streets.
After meeting the turtles, Casey has had many adventures. It wasn't until after a horrible accident involving a teenager's death that Casey settled down quite a bit. He moved away from the farm house, hoping for the best on the west coast. He never made it. He was mugged and car-jacked by hoodlums at a small desert town diner. With the kindness of Gabrielle the diner's waitress, Casey was soon on his feet. They fell in love.
He stayed at her trailor home and found a job as a grocery sacker (which didn't last too long). Also, Gabrielle was pregnant. The child wasn't Casey's, but he planned to provide for it. During delivery, Gabe hemorraged and died. Casey was left with the little girl he named Shadow. He moved back to New York soon after, and continued helping his mother maintain her apartment building. Unwittingly, she sold the building to April, and the two fell in love all over again.

Technical Information: Casey Jones is considered a major character in the Mirage and Image series. He has also made appearances in the TMNT movies and cartoon. However, at no time did Casey Jones appear in the TMNT Archie Adventure Series.

Note: The views and opinions expressed here are all mine, and should not be taken as actual fact. These statistics are based largely on the TMNT Archie Adventure Series. I do consider all TMNT publications to be equally factual. This includes the Archie, Mirage, Image, Wolf Productions, and even the Pizza Hut sponsored singing Ninja Turtles.
