Nothing is revealed about Jericho's life and activities before he became an Honorary Titan. He is introduced when [[Beast Boy]] is sent to him to present him with a Titan communicator so he could call for help if threatened by the [[Brotherhood of Evil]]. Unbeknownst to the Titans at that time, however, the [[Brain]] had - thanks to [[Madame Rouge]] - gained access to one of the com devices and was now using it to track down any of the Honorary Titans, thus foiling [[Robin]]'s plan to form a unified global network against the Brotherhood.

Personality
Almost nothing is truly revealed about Jericho's personality, but we can conclude that he is an innocent, caring and kind-hearted pacifist who doesn't particularly enjoy fighting and violence.
Appearance
Close-up of Jericho.
Jericho has lime green eyes and blonde hair, with two locks framing his face. Note that they are not side burns in this adaptaion. His outfit consists of a long-sleeved white shirt underneath a purple tunic with a gold belt, black pants and purple boots. There are also golden braces connected to the ends of his sleeves and the tops of his boots.
Powers
Jericho has the unique ability to possess any living being he can make eye contact with. Immediately after eye contact is made, Jericho phases into the body of the person he is possessing, giving him complete control. It is easy to tell when he takes control of someone as their eyes will turn the same color as his own. Jericho is

also able to access the knowledge and memories of those under his influence. An obvious weakness to this ability is that Jericho does not always know the personality and traits of the person he is possessing. An example of this comes from the time he possessed Cinderblock. Before the episode Titans Together, there was no indication at all that Cinderblock could speak. When Jericho possessed

Cinderblock, he spoke through Cinderblock, which startled Private H.I.V.E, blowing the Titans' cover. Note that while Jericho himself is mute, he could speak whilst in Cinderblock's form as Cinderblock's body had functional vocal chords, when his own body did not. Another weakness is that he can't possess anyone if he is not in direct eye-to-eye contact or if his vision is obscured, his power is rendered useless. It is hinted that he has some ability in melee combat, having knocked Private H.I.V.E. to the ground without having to possess anybody. It is also possible that he uses his guitar as a weapon.
Jericho as he appeared in the New Teen Titans comics.
In the mainstream comic series, Jericho is Slade's son. A relationship to Slade in the animated series,however, is never mentioned or explored. The reason that Jericho can't speak is because a childhood incident damaged his vocal cords. This same incident led to Slade losing his right eye.
In the comics, Jericho was possessed by the essence of Trigon and turned on the Titans, forcing Slade to kill him.
In the comics Jericho fell in love with fellow Teen Titan member Kole. After coming back from a mission in outer space with some of the other members, he found out about Kole 's death during the first Crisis, which affected him greatly. He also had a short relationship with Raven.
Jericho's love of music is also shown in the comics, as he spent a lot of his free time playing the guitar, including performing at some places.
Jericho was brought back to life in the current version of the Teen Titans comics with a new body, but is still mute.
In the Teen Titans Go! comic "Pieces of Me", Jericho uses his powers to put Raven's scattered Emoticlones back together. The fusion process he applies could be an extent of his regular power or, more likely, the Emoticlone mind works differently then usual hosts.
