Biography
In The Maze Runner, Jeff is most prominently present when Ben is going through the Changing at the beginning of the book, when Teresa arrives, and when Thomas, Minho, and Alby are brought back from the Maze alive, as well as any other medical emergency mentioned.
Jeff was present when Teresa woke up, but she kicked him in the groin, climbed out of the window, and met Thomas.
It's unknown whether or not Jeff survived the escape from the Maze or if he made it through the Scorch Trials. But due to the only listed surviving Gladers being Thomas, Minho, Gally, Frypan, Clint, Jackson, Dan, Henry, Hank, Alec, Billy, Carl, and Tim, Jeff must have been killed at some point in the Trials.Film
In the Maze Runner film, Jeff was introduced as one of the Med-jacks in the Glade. He and Clint were the ones who told Thomas that Teresa, who has arrived in the Glade, was awake. When the doors stopped closing, Jeff was heavily featured and met up with Thomas about what to do. He survived the attack, but Clint didn't. The following morning, Gally attempts to sacrifice Thomas and Teresa. Jeff and Winston confronted Gally about it. He was the second person to leave to go with Thomas, following Winston. Jeff is shown to be one of the Gladers that goes into the Maze with Thomas to escape. Shortly after, Jeff is overpowered and killed by Grievers while attempting to save Minho. He is the third to perish in the Griever ambush.
In the Death Cure film, Jeff's name was engraved on the memorial rock along the names of the victims in the war with WCKD.
