About
Jay was a 34 year old businessman living in Los Angeles, California. He had two children Archer, 12 and Emery, 10 with his wife Tatiana Harvey-Adakai, 32. After he graduated from high school in Arizona he immediately left for college with his trust fund at 18 and never returned home until his eventual death in 2016, when his parents laid him to rest in the Adakai crypt. During his adulthood he didn't have much to do with his family, so much so that his wife and children had never met the family that raised him or the place he was brought up in. His reasons for staying away were because he wanted to escape the expectation of being a werewolf royal when all he wanted to do was be normal.

Early life
Jay was born into a very wealthy and privileged family in Holbrook, Arizona. He is a direct descendant of Paul Adakai - whom was one of the first wolves to ever shift making his lineage royal - extremely so. His father Billy Adakai was the  'Alpha of Navajo' responsible for the highest kill count of vampires on American soil to this day. His mother was a more modest waitress, Sun Adakai who was a full blooded human. He has two younger brothers Ashley and Emmy.

Before Jay was even born many of the Navajo's believed that the first born son of Billy Adakai - the  'Alpha of Navajo' would be the heavily prophesied Dhampyre that would have the ability to either destroy or empower the entire werewolf population. Although this was disproven after he was born, still he couldn't escape the scrutiny and apprehension everyone held for him by not entirely believing him. This fact alone put a heavy burden over not only Billy but Jay himself, which was heavily reflected when he came into adolescence. He was under a lot of pressure to perform and not step out of line whenever he was in the public eye; and being a royal that made it particularly difficult. So before Jay had even begun high school he had mentally aged years beyond what he should have been.

During high school Jay was an all rounded achiever, he excelled in his academics, was extremely popular and had the attention of many female admirers however his talents really showed their colours when he was doing any and all things physical. He was such a remarkable player at both football and basketball that he received many scholarships and offers to play varsity at some of the most prestigious colleges in America. Jay saw college as an opportunity to leave his crazed life of werewolf politics, responsibilities and royalty behind and focus on a life that he wanted, and that was just a simple, normal human (or as close as he can have it) life.

In 2005 Jay had successfully achieved his dream after he had graduated college and fell into a regular lifestyle, job and environment. He was working at a publishing firm in Los Angeles making great money and was engaged to his college girlfriend, Tatiana Harvey. Although he trusted her implicitly he still couldn't build up the nerve to tell her about what he really is and what being an Adakai even meant. Even after they had married and were about to have their first child together, he still couldn't do it. He was so deathly afraid that not only would she be disgusted with what she married but that she would leave him indefinitely taking his baby - whom would need his father more then his mother when it grew up. But despite the situation growing more dire by the second he just decided that he would cross the bridge when it came to it.

When his oldest son, Archer turned one in 2007 and his wife was pregnant again, Jay was so fearful of his past coming back into his life that one holidays he took a few days off - in secret and went back home to Holbrook. There he announced that he was renouncing his name, claim to the throne, all royal titles and even his coat to his family; as expected his father and brothers did not take the news all that well however to his surprise his mother was fully supportive of his choice even if she did not agree with it. None of the Adakai's understood why he would do such a thing but they never stopped him from making that decision.

In 2016, with Jay a wolf no longer he began to suspect that he was being followed by a vampire clan. He had prior knowledge as to vampire/werewolf conflicts, and though stripped of his wolf form he still harboured some supernatural abilities. He eventually had figured out the group who was tailing him, only then did Jay ever regret retiring his wolf form as the realisation that he's never really going to be free of this life hit him. Upon returning home that night he had prepared his wife and children to relocate back to Holbrook under his families protection, to chew his pride and beg his father to take him back into the packs fold. He promised to himself that he would finally let his wife know about him and his past however after returning back from work to collect his family he was violently slaughtered by a vampire in his secret, second apartment.
