Riverdale Character Guide

Forsythe Pendleton Jones III known as Jughead is the son of F.P. and Gladys Jones, half-brother of Charles Smith, older brother of Jellybean Jones and the boyfriend of Betty Cooper.
Jughead was a sophomore at Riverdale High School, but after the arrest of his father, F. P. Jones, the leader of the Southside Serpents, he was placed into foster care and had to transfer to Southside High. While attending the gang and drug-infested high school, he re-opened the school newspaper, The Red and Black, where he was an editor, alongside new recruit, Toni Topaz, the newspaper's photographer, with Robert Phillips, their adviser until his arrest. However, with the closing of Southside High, Jughead has returned to Riverdale High.
He is a close friend of Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper. He is also a member of the Southside Serpents, which he joined following his father's arrest, despite being advised against it.
