JASON MORGAN'S HISTORY

Jason was born as a result of an affair between Alan Quartermaine and his mistress, Susan Moore. Upon her death, Alan and Jason returned to the Quartermaine mansion. Although the child was a constant reminder of Alan's betrayal for Monica, she soon loved him as much as AJ, the son she and Alan share.

Handsome, Jason has been the love object of many of Port Charles' young ladies; Karen, Robin, and Keesha were a few in his younger years. His life was typical until he got into the car with a drunken AJ and suffered brain damage in the resulting accident. It wiped away his memory, his personality, and all feelings for people he had loved. It seemed he no longer had emotions.

Jason dropped the Quartermaine named, began calling himself Jason Morgan, and became a hit man for mobster, Sonny Corinthos. The only person that seemed to reach him on any level was Robin. Carly Roberts had just returned to town and had a sexual liaison with Jason, but his eventual attraction to Robin led them to a romantic involvement despite her HIV status. No matter how much he professed to love her, she couldn't coax him away from his dangerous lifestyle.

Carly interrupted Jason's life, seeking help with her baby. She wanted to keep the paternity a secret and Jason aided her by swearing that Tony Jones was the father. In reality, it was his own brother's child. In the end, Tony kidnapped the child and learned the truth. His revelation unleashed the unwanted attention of the greedy Quartermaine's on their latest heir. When Carly had a breakdown, Robin and Jason took Michael to raise.

Jason tried living a normal life, but it didn't stay that way long. Carly was released and came to stay with them, and the constant bickering between her and Robin drove Robin away. AJ pursued his paternity rights, causing Carly and Jason to consider fleeing the country with the baby, but at the last minute, Carly reneged. She ended up marrying AJ, but a custody case gave Jason shared time. He later relinquished his rights, fearing his job was to perilous for a child.

After divorcing AJ, Carly still had feelings for Jason, but upon seeing him in an intimate moment with Elizabeth Webber, Carly turned her attention to Sonny. She might have ended up with Jason if she had realized he was only offering Liz comfort in the face of Lucky's death. When Lucky turned up alive, Liz chose him over Jason.

Sonny's protest against Jason dating his sister didn't dim his relationship with Courtney. It didn't matter that she was married to AJ, Jason was all about protecting her. In the end, it was his continued role as a hit man that caused them to part. He buried himself in his business and pretended not to care.

Being Sonny's right-hand-man had some advantages, like falling for Sam McCall, Sonny's one-time lover. His profession almost got her killed, but he was the only one who felt the blame. Her continued pursuit softened him, and he saw her through the death of her daughter and finding out that Alexis was her own birth-mother. He was mortified when he stumbled upon Sam having sex with Ric. It was in a drunken stupor, but still devastating. Of course, once again, Liz came to Jason for consolation, and they were intimate. In short time, she discovered she was pregnant, and Jason was left wondering if the baby she is carrying is his or Lucky's. He was with Sam at the time but ended up conflicted about wanting to be with Liz.

When the baby's paternity finally came out in 2007, Jason and Liz agreed to keep it quiet so that the world wouldn't know that mobster Jason Morgan had a vulnerability. He agreed to let Lucky believe he was the father, although it deeply wounded him not to raise his own son. His love for Liz grew and the two went back and forth over whether or not they could be togehter in public. After little Michael Corinthos was shot in 2008, the answer was clear - it was too dangerous for Jason to have a family.

Jason took over the business for Sonny and ran the mob for the remainder of 2008 and into 2009. Ultimately Sonny wanted his power back after trying to go 'legit' for a while. Jason was happy to give it back and went back to being his enforcer. He still longs for Elizabeth but is moving forward in his (loveless) life.
