Jeremy Whalen

Jeremy Whalen is a minor character in ECKVA. He was a former employee of Clear Lakes Communications, working at the Clear Lakes 44 affiliate station as a network technician. He later sued them, claiming to have suffered multiple instances of mental and physical trauma.

History
Jeremy Whalen was a network technician that worked at the Clear Lakes 44 station. While working there, he alleged to have experienced a hostile work environment and unlawful business practices. In the final months of CLC's operation, he attempted to sue them for the hostile work environment, claiming that it led to multiple instances of mental and physical trauma, although no details were ever released about this. Fred Mendez, his lawyer, spoke to the press and said that he believed they had a very strong case, as CLC had knowingly allowed Clear Lakes 44 to engage in unlawful practices.

However, despite Fred's confidence, the case was ultimately thrown out of court after Jeremy's poor mental state was corroborated by multiple witnesses. Fred, speaking with the press, called the decision an absolute disgrace, as Jeremy's declining health was directly caused by CLC's poor work environment. He then confirmed that the two intended to keep fighting until the case was made clear. The case was thrown out of court a year after CLC was purchased and absorbed by ECKVA Network.

As of now, his fate is unknown.

Theories
Some have theorized that Jeremy Whalen is intended to be Birdwatcher. The two have some similarities; both presumably worked at Clear Lakes 44 at some point in their history, and both experienced mental and physical trauma. Although it is not known what Jeremy had, it is seen in CL44 that Birdwatcher has some sort of a sleeping disorder and cannot put weight on one of his legs. Birdwatcher is also at the periphery of an investigation that was being performed, although what the investigation was has never been specified.
