Jary started out as the school bully, but eventually grew out of it. He had a hard time growing up, but with the help of his friends, he's starting to heal.

• Battle Couple - With Scout.
• Estrogen Brigade Bait - His muscular build is almost always mentioned by the author.
• Final First Hug - Jary and his grandmother embrace for the first time after he's bailed out of prison. In the next chapter, he skips town and falls to his supposed death. He never returns to Haven, and we don't even know if he's contacted his grandparents and told them that he's still alive.

• Spotlight-Stealing Squad - If the number of tropes here is any indication, he's definitely the most developed character.
