Biography
3D Universe
In 1986, Torrent is first seen at one of Juan Cortez's parties, alongside two women.
Torrent, alongside Kent Paul, Dick, Percy and Willy, later hired Tommy Vercetti to do some work for them, including the task of bringing Mercedes Cortez to them and buying some drugs for themselves, called "Love Juice".
Later, a psycho fan of Love Fist tries to kill the band for unknown reason, however in both missions, the band was saved by Tommy Vercetti.
According to his bandmate Percy, Torrent practices bestiality and has previously had sex with sheep, though the truth behind this is unknown, as it may simply be an example of the band members taunting each other.
Torrent is a member of the Epsilon Program, and writes a testimonial on their website about how the cult helped him overcome a drug addiction.
HD Universe
It is said on the TV show Fame or Shame that Jezz left Love Fist and launched a solo career (in HD Universe canon) and produced a 1991 record named "This is a Power Ballad" which was number one in Germany for nineteen weeks. The song itself is sung on the show by contestant William Angio. Torrent is one of the honoured celebrities on the Vinewood Walk of Fame.
