Stephen Jefferies

Stephen Jefferies is the original name of a man who became Jake Matthews after visiting the Inn in 2006.

Stephen was a 55-year-old corporate VP. It was initially uncertain how he would fare at Jake's life with no artistic abilities. However, his managerial and business skills enabled him to survive and even prosper, hiring a staff of artists to carry out the work within weeks of inheriting Jake's body, resulting in increased client satisfaction. With the help of an investor, known only by the initials S.A., Stephen managed to turn Jake's one-man operation into a thriving studio.

He is described as being a "shark," with a sharp mind for business. He is also very confident, driven, and forward, making a sexual pass at Jake in Ashlyn's body during their first meeting. Physically, he inherited Jake's 34-year-old body and what Jake describes as 30 extra pounds.
