The thunder will change you forever, but everyone you love will fall at the end of the world.
- Ezekiel
Jeremiah is a very bright view on a dark future. The post-apocalyptic world that Jeremiah and Kurdy are native to is not at all populated with depressed and sinister characters, but rather with a lot of hoping and enthusiastic people. Jeremiah himself at first hasn't quite a clue what he wants to achive, just a very vague idea to find out about what happened to his father, and with his involvement into Thunder Mountain the story evolves. Very much like the show JMS got famous for, Babylon 5, Jeremiah has a very distinct direction that reveals itself while the story progresses. Although the show's setup might be clear after the first season, the destiny of Jeremiah himself is yet to be discovered.
Jeremiah himself is a prototypical anti-hero. Perry acts him as very self-assure lone runner with a certain heroish touch. His obsession is to find Valhalla Sector/his father.
When Kurdy tries to steal some fish from him, Jeremiah defines his own stereotype: He first beats him and ties him to a tree, but eventually talks to him and gives him some of the food. He really get's into this tough-guy-who-doesn't-wanna-save-the-world-but-just-has-to-thing. Later on, he also shows responsibility and some sort of odd humor, and in the end the audience grows to like him.
