Jay is actually the specialest goddamn snowflake and is a Promethean. Specifically, he's a Galateid, a muse created from the corpse of a beautiful youth.
He's beautiful and amorous and desires companionship, but being a Promethean, he repulses people with Disquiet -- mortals start feeling that there's something fundamentally wrong with him and are driven away. He's lucky that his aura of Disquiet never enraged someone to the point of attempting to kill him, but he's pretty much doomed to loneliness.
He was created by a Frankenstein who desired companionship, love and a little beauty in his life and stalked and killed a 19-year-old young man to turn into one of his kind. (During the making, Jay's creator discovered that his target was a trans man, but decided to just roll with it.)
Jay's fairly bitter, lonely and death-obsessed and this is so very little different from canon that it's actually funny.
