Biography
Most of what is known about Jill in the series has been revealed by Chuck, and prior to Sarah Walker, Jill was the love of his life. It was revealed in "Chuck Versus the Alma Mater" they met through their mutual friend Bryce Larkin (Matthew Bomer) at Stanford in 1999, and after growing closer as friends, eventually began to date. In 2003, Chuck was expelled after being framed for cheating on a test by Larkin. A flashback in "Chuck Versus the Ex" shows he returned to Stanford briefly in an effort to explain the situation, but Jill told Chuck it was over between them. She also didn't contradict her roommate when the latter said Jill had begun seeing Bryce.
She graduated from Stanford with high grades, and her school performance attracted Fulcrum's attention while she was still attending school. They began exerting pressure on her, until it was too late for her to escape from their influence. According to Chris Fedak, Jill was recruited into Fulcrum by her Uncle Bernie. In "Chuck Versus the First Kill", Bernie is revealed to be her father's best friend. After Chuck was expelled through the actions of Larkin, she was ordered by Fulcrum to break off her relationship with Chuck. The best way she knew how was to tell him she had started seeing Bryce. During the course of her recruitment, she also received espionage and firearms training.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
