If you strip away his bubbly demeanor and constant humor, he ''is'' sort of a mass-murdering sociopath with absolutely no care, pity, or empathy and is an adroit liar with absolutely no guilt or remorse for all but one of the actions he performs in the course of the story. In fact, it's been suggested that Jericho is [[GenreSavvy perfectly aware of this]], which is exactly why he's constantly trying to hold onto his bubbly demeanor and constant humor, all in an attempt to hide this essential fact. He even says that his CodeOfHonor was created purely to prevent Jericho's more monstrous side from coming out.

Whereas most narrators of this type only occasionally snark in the narrative, Jericho's narration style is literally founded upon it. Granted, Jericho resides on the part of this trope with focuses more on the entertaining stream-of-consciousnesses thoughts, which usually ends with Jericho making some truly ludicrous analogies or similes or just indulging his own ''thoughts'' mock him.dementedly hilarious thoughts. Without breaking the fourth wall, he is constantly making fun of the [[GenreSavvy story he's in]] and the world and characters therein to the point that Jericho's narration is easily described as being like a "[[BlackComedy maliciously]] [[CloudCuckooLander demented]] [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Douglas Adams]]". The fact is, the story and plot of ''Fanfic/{{Jericho}}'' would be a dead-baby depressing slog of [[TrueArtIsAngsty angst]] were it not for Jericho being the narrator; with him, the story is a ludicrously amusing and optimistic romp through a terribly [[DarkerAndEdgier grimdark]] adventure as told by a likeable [[TheSociopath sociopath]].
