Family[]
Director Shepard's father, Colonel Jasper Shepard, was an official working at Starfleet Command who was suspected of taking a bribe. While under investigation Colonel Shepard died, officially by suicide. However, circumstantial evidence exists that suggests that either Colonel Shepard faked his suicide. Or, in fact, that he was murdered, due to the "thumb tap" as Ziva called it on Colonel Shepard's hand, discovered after his death. Jennifer's mother is believed to be unknown named but alive and in Los Angeles, California. It may be apparent that she had a sister named Heather as well.
Personality[]
Strong, determined, and fiesty, Jenny proved that she was often a force to be reckoned with during her tenure as SI Director. Her constant desire to be in the loop about everything led to her being disliked by other agencies. Jenny Shepard used her position for her personal wars and did not understand the necessity of bodyguards as she often abandoned them. Jenny had also admitted to Tony that she went too fast in her career and wished she had slowed down.
