Garry Fletcher

Garry Fletcher was the founder of Joyriders company.

He used to deliver meat, stealing from his company.

One night in April 2016, a strange boy approached him in the street and asked to help him. The boy's body was controlled by an alien who needed power for his equipment at an abandoned industrial estate off Swallow Avenue. Instead of helping him, Fletcher beat the alien body to death, knowingly causing the death of the boy. Together with his friend Mike he killed the remaining four aliens, took the body-swapping equipment for his own and organised Joyriders company with it, providing clients with bodies to do whatever they liked in them.

When they had a disagreement with Mike, he organised his murder through one of the clients. He then hired Steve Hopley to help him with the company. He personally threatened Steve and each client with murder if they told anyone about the company.

He was paranoid about secrecy and did not keep electronic records. However, his paranoia was inconsistent as he kept all the clients names clearly written in a notebook that could have been stolen.

When Ram Singh woke up in the body of one of the clients, John O'Donnell, Fletcher was cunning enough to recognise the difference and lock Ram up, but was not aware that Steve constantly use the body-swapping machine to fulfil his alcoholism or that it was his tampering with the machine that caused the unexpected awakening. Seeing the body of O'Donnell later from his car, Fletcher ran him over, not knowing that at that very moment Steve swapped Ram and O'Donnell back.

Knowing from O'Donnell that Charlie and Miss Quill are aliens, Fletcher got it into his head that they must know how the body-swapping machine operated. Since he never asked the alien owner of the machine before killing it, he sent Steve and two of his clients, James Banks and Barry Taylor, to convoy Charlie and Miss Quill to the company offices.
