Jasper Adeola

Jasper was born in 1973. When the family went to see the Regimental Horses, Tanya jumped in a puddle of horse wee shouting "Puddle, puddle!". This event caused him to start calling Tanya "Puddle".

Later on in his life, Tanya looked in on Vivian and Jasper to make sure they hadn't gone in the night. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo) According to Tanya, he used to say that people don't set out to be monsters; "they start by getting a little taste for it and then they like it, so they taste some more. And then before you know it..." (TV: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart)
