Jorge is a G03LM working for MERC. He and Church are recurring bosses and supporting antagonists in MADNESS: Project Nexus.
Appearance
He is a MERC G03LM suited in a grey jacket, black boots, fingerless gloves, an ammo backpack, a ballistic vest with the phrase "SIZE MATTERS" written on it, and a dual-filter gas mask with blue eyepieces stylized like shutter shades.
Personality
Unlike his G03LM brethren, he and Church lack a polite demeanor, instead resorting to calling their opponents losers and bragging about their constant comebacks, pain tolerance and "fighting ethic". Jorge doesn't seem to feel ashamed of losing to Sanford and Deimos, as he and his partner keep coming back over and over, each time with different tactics. Despite their so called "fighting ethic", they still call in for reinforcements whenever one of the duo falls in combat, contrary to their "fair fight" policy, showing they aren't as honorable as they say.
Abilities
He specializes in the use of heavy firearms, in contrast to his partner Church's expertise in melee/hand to hand combat, making the G03LM duo similar to their rivals, Sanford and Deimos. He possesses major combat prowess compared to other G03LMs, being capable of quickly shoving off attackers and withstanding more damage.
MADNESS: Project Nexus
Jorge and Church are first encountered at the end of The Boom Factory, where they are deployed as a last ditch effort to stop Sanford and Deimos from seizing the explosives to blow up the Sheriff's Station Fortress' gate. During this encounter he is seen wielding an anti-tank rifle he uses to snipe at Sanford and Deimos from the top of the platform the G03LM duo stands on when they enter the room. The anti-rank rifle can also phase through walls so if you try to hide under the platform Jorge is on you will still get hit
They are encountered again in The Scenic Route where he and Church make a surprise appearance by breaking the ceiling of the sewers Sanford and Deimos are passing through, initiating a fight, with the MERC G03LMs being aided by other MERCs. This time, Jorge is armed with a flamethrower, wields a riot shield and is seen wearing extra metal plates on his mask and body armor.
The duo are encountered a third time in Flood Control where the G03LM duo surprise Sanford and Deimos as they make their way through the Mining Sector's flooded levels. This time around, Church and Jorge challenge Sanford and Deimos to a fair two versus two because "they are bored". During this boss fight, Jorge is armed with a Sludge Hose that fires sludge similar to that of the Swamp Zeds. This time he's seen wearing a diving suit underneath his usual combat gear connected to a pair of oxygen tanks on his back, replacing his ammo backpack. Despite bragging about wanting a fair fight, MERC reinforcements will storm the arena once one of the brothers falls.
His final appearance is in The Rush. Once more revived, he and Church are now armored like Tower Guards, with Jorge wielding a hi-tech minigun that uses Dissonant Reality as ammo, given the purple lights of the weapon. However before the fight can begin they are crushed to death by Mag Agent: Gestalt. During the credits, Church and Jorge are shown being revived yet again by MERC with a celebration cake.

Trivia
- He is the first Madness Combat character to have a Hispanic name.
- According to Jorge's voice actor, Jonas Boda, Jorge's name is intended to be pronounced as it would in Spanish. However, due to his lack of intelligence, he insists on pronouncing incorrectly. [1]
- Judging by a mail sent by a MERC Laborer to the Nexus Core in The Boom Factory, Church and Jorge were part of a trade or request between the two factions at some point in time before Hank and co. started their mission to take down Project Nexus.
- Based on a poster found in the G03LM shower/changing room-looking location in the science tower, Church & Jorge are not permitted to be on the property due to disrespecting the G03LM locker room equipment. According to Krinkels, both Jorge and Church were seen as 'defective' due to their behavior, which is most likely the reason why they were transferred to the MERC faction.[2]
- Jorge has the most amount of voice lines out of any character, with a whopping 7 minutes worth. Ironically, Church only has 30 seconds worth, which is below average.
- In addition to this, Jorge isn't as vocal as his partner, and only speaks during dialogue (where voicelines are forced) or rarely otherwise.
- One of his possible voice lines is "I warned you about those stairs, bro!", which is a reference to the webcomic Homestuck, specifically it's companion piece Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, where Hella Jeff tells Sweet Bro to be careful of stairs, followed by Sweet Bro tumbling down an infinite flight of stairs.
- Jorge will sometimes mutter the victory fanfare theme from the Final Fantasy franchise when an opponent's corpus is broken.[3]
- As told by Deimosart (The-Swain told him so), Both Church And Jorge are based off Bebop and Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise
- When Church or Jorge destroy our health cube while near each other, they high-five each other and taunt (and they also high-five other random G0L3Ms if you summon them in Playground mode).
- Jorge was originally coined as G0L3M for the bandit faction, but later became part of MERC, he also originally wore a Mohawk on his head. MPN's official channel has a two minute video of Krinkels drawing his 3d model of it:
- He's one of the only enemies with infinite ammo
