Jeffrey Ridgway Sr.



Jeffrey Ridgway Sr., also known as Jeff Ridgway, (November 15, 1962 - ) or prominently known as Psycho Dad, is the main antagonist of the Psycho Series and The Devil Inside series. He also appears to be the main antagonist in the 2018 graphic novel, Psycho Kid vs Psycho Dad until it was revealed to be Tom Abraham who was responsible for his revival.

Jeff Sr. was Jesse and Jeffrey Ridgway Jr.'s father. After Jesse begins pursuing a passion in gaming, Jeff Sr. is perceived as a cunning, ruthless psychopath, who resorts to destroying various household and gaming objects while in a furious mood. Through these violent means, he tries to mold Jesse into his own image, as a hard-working son, enlisted under a proper line of work. However, his psychopathic nature has taken a toll on Jesse's mental state, and therefore served as a negative influence in his life. When Jesse undergoes a mental breakdown, due to Jeff Sr's oppressive ways, he is killed by his son with his own revolver, before he leaves to Switzerland.

However, despite his death, his persona as "Psycho Dad" (the name inherited to him by Jesse) was still alive, and post-mortem, he controlled his Master Realm self. When he was resurrected by Devil, he vowed vengeance against Jesse for his murder.

He is portrayed by his real-life counterpart, Jeffrey Ridgway Sr..
