The Grishaverse

Jordan (Jordie) Rietveld was the older brother of Kaz Brekker. Jordie grew up on a farm in southern Kerch with his father and younger brother.

Appearance

Jordie looked very similar to his brother, both of them having dark hair and brown eyes.[1]

Personality

His major flaw was a mixture of ambition and arrogance. After Kaz asked why Jordie did not plan to go to school with him in Ketterdam, he explained that he was "too old and too smart" for it. This sentiment is carried into his later actions as Jordie was overly confident in his business skills and was quick to jump into investments that turned out to be scams.

Despite his failings elsewhere, Jordie is remembered in Kaz's mind as being a wonderful older brother. He is shown to be kind and caring towards Kaz by entertaining him around the city, buying nice food and gifts, and constantly reassuring him they would be alright when things went wrong.

History

The two siblings moved to Ketterdam after their father died in a plow accident. Hoping to one day become a successful merchant, Jordie searched for jobs in Ketterdam's financial district, eventually finding work as a runner for Jacob Hertzoon, a man who claimed to be a small-time merchant. After being led into a false business venture, Jordie was conned out of all the remaining money from the sale of his family's farm, which left the brothers living in poverty on the streets. Not long after that, they contracted the deadly plague going around Ketterdam. Jordie succumbed to the disease, but Kaz survived.
