SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
Bio:
Jeroen Thornedike, a Dutch heroin addict, horse pornography fan, was destined to become the next Doctor and a member of The Authority.
Jeroen was "a multimedia millionaire by twelve, a dot-com billionaire by twenty, and staring into space in a psychiatric home by the age of twenty-one". He eventually gave away all his money and tried to have an ordinary life until the original Doctor died and Jeroen inherited his abilities. Jeroen refused to accept the responsibility and instead spent his days shooting heroin and playing Sonic the Hedgehog.
Jeroen was first contacted to join The Authority by Jenny Sparks and Swift, but refused to join and teleported them away. After contacting him a second time, Sparks shot herself in the head, forcing Jeroen to use his powers to revive her. He joined the Authority soon afterwards.
During the "Earth Inferno" storyline Jeroen married a rock star and overdosed on heroin while on his honeymoon. He fell into a bizarre trance, unable to help while many disasters hit around the world. He recovered with the help of past Doctors, leaving his scheming wife with an altered, hideous rear end. Later, he
agreed to relinquish his powers to a previous Doctor, the Renegade Doctor. This was in an attempt to stop the Earth from trying to wipe out humanity.
In the "Transfer of Power" storyline, Jeroen was replaced by The Surgeon, a French alchemist who was given control over the Doctor's powers. He was carried around in The Surgeon's pockets, in the form of a doll, and used to scrub out stains from the man's underpants. The Surgeon was never accepted by the collective consciousness of the previous Doctors, because he brought in contractors to the area where the former Doctors met. Said invaders bulldozed ancient shrines and shot at and or killed the entities found there. The Surgeon even supervised "Religimon," an entity designed to be a new corproate religion. The Surgeon died when The Midnighter shot him in the head. Jeroen instantly recovered his powers.
Thornedike died in The Authority: Revolution from a drug overdose given to him by Rose Tattoo on orders from Henry Bendix, who then captured his soul to point him to the next Doctor, Habib Ben Hassan. He was later freed by Jenny Quantum.
The Church of Transcendence
The Doctor briefly had his own religion, after he transformed the Church of Transcendence into the Church of the Shaman. However, he gave it up after his enemies started killing his followers to strike at him.
Hedonism
Jeroen was often criticized by the media and his teammates for not living up to the responsibility of a world-saving superhero. He had several high-profile marriages with celebrity musicians as well as a notorious drug habit.
Tragically, it was this very attitude that got Jeroen killed. He was given a toxic kiss by Rose Tattoo mid-coitus and his spiritual essence was briefly captured by Henry Bendix before being allowed into the Garden of Ancestral Memory.
