  We model the broad-band spectral energy distribution of the innermost
"core-jet" region of the redshift z=1.187 quasar PKS 1127-145. We propose a
scenario where the high energy photons are produced via the Compton scattering
of thermal IR radiation by the relativistic particles in a parsec-scale jet.
The high energy spectrum, together with the observed radio variability and
superluminal expansion, suggest that PKS 1127-145 may be a blazar, despite the
fact that its optical/UV component is likely dominated by thermal radiation
from an accretion disk. The relation of PKS 1127-145 to MeV - blazars is
discussed.
