At some point, Jeff decided to become a police officer, while Aaron went the opposite way, getting involved in the criminal world under the moniker of Prowler, a famous criminal-for-hire. As the Prowler became notorious, Jeff started an investigation on the criminal. At some point he also met and married Rio Morales, with whom he had a son Miles Morales.
