Jedediah

"'My friends! Have you ever peered into the void and seen something not unlike yourself, but different, but the same? A world you nearly recognize, but is hopelessly foreign? That is the sign, the sign that our world and another are hopelessly interwoven with threads made of mirrors reflecting on themselves!' - Jedediah"Jedediah Alexander Jedediah was a prophet and the leader of a doomsday cult. Jedediah preached that reality would one day be shattered by an apocalyptic figure that he referred to as "The Unbuckler." According to Jedediah, he and his flock would be able to piece reality back together using standard, readily available binding equipment (i.e. staplers, paperclips, rubber bands, etc.)

Jedediah perished after traveling through an unstable portal into the "That's Awesome" dimension.

Appearance
Jedediah is tall and lanky. He wears all red, sports a goatee, and speaks in a heavy southern drawl.

Personality
His behavior is wild and erratic, with Maryn referring to him as "unhinged." He is prone to launching into seemingly nonsensical monologues at any given opportunity. Although he at first appears to be little more than a raving madman, over the course of Season 16 his prophecies are slowly proven disturbingly accurate.

The Focus Group
We're first introduced to Jedediah when he and his followers are brought in to serve as a focus group for the next episode of Down to Film. After espousing his philosophy, he slowly begins to absorb members of the crew into his cult. Once Maryn reveals that she accidentally caused her and her crew to travel to an alternate universe, a horrified Jedediah declares that she is the Unbuckler, and runs away with the rest of his flock.

The Return
Jedediah's second and final appearance comes in S16E04, "OT Phone Home," where it is revealed that he has secretly been living in the station's air vents since episode 2. Jedediah reveals himself to the crew, seemingly having gone completely insane, babbling like a maniac. After a near-indecipherable monologue, he runs into a portal created by Maryn, disappearing. We find out later that he died almost immediately after crossing to the other side.

Facts and Trivia

 * Jedidiah was originally modeled after Charles Manson in terms of his mannerisms and personality. In earlier drafts of the script, he was a much more sinister character than the version that made it to the final draft.
