{{quote|Damn it!|"Snaky" Jones, after [[Noga 'Putumee]] avoided his sniper shot.}}

''Lance Corporal "Snaky" Jones''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[ODST]]. As a sharpshooter with the [[Helljumpers]], he bore a [[Sniper Rifle]] in combat. He was fond of candy bars.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 159</ref>

==Biography==
Jones was one of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] stationed aboard the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]] and was evacuated with the other personnel on board. Under the command of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]], Jones joined a convoy that was ferrying supplies to [[Alpha Base]]. However, [[Covenant]] ground forces under the command of [[Noga 'Putumee]] soon attacked the convoy using [[Wraiths]], [[Banshees]] and [[Ghosts]]. Jones was in the fourth [[Warthog]] with [[Sergeant]] [[Corly]] when the vehicle was hit by a Plasma Mortar round from a [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]. Corly was killed but Jones was thrown free.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 156</ref> Once recovered, he discovered that his helmet (with his team mic) was missing, therefore he followed his sniper training and climbed to some cover and an elevated firing position in the form of rocks.

Targets soon presented themselves in the forms of two [[Elites]], one being [[Minor Domo Elite]] [[Ado 'Mortumee]] and the other the [[Zealot]] [[Noga 'Putumee]]. For unknown reasons (possibly because he didn't know the Covenant rankings or knew that Field Masters have stronger shields than that of blue armored Sangheili), Jones chose to kill the lesser ranked [[Elite]] first.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 159</ref> His first shot decapitated [[Ado 'Mortumee]], but his second, aimed at [[Noga 'Putumee]], missed due to the Field Master's seeking cover. The [[Covenant]] commander responded by calling down [[Banshees]] to locate  and kill the [[human]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 159</ref> But the marine manages to hide and apparently had enough supplies (candy bars) to make it back to Alpha base (but it is unknown if he made it or not).
Jones' subsequent fate is unknown.


==Trivia==
*He may have somehow survived the destruction of Installation 04, as there is an ODST sniper named Jones who holds the rank of Lance Corporal as well in the Another Day At The Beach video for Halo 2.
*Another fact supporting the above theory is that [[Sgt. Stacker]] is in Jones' squad in the video, and he somehow survived the first Halo ring as well, although nobody quite knows how.
*Jones may have escaped the ring with [[Sgt. Stacker]] and or [[Chips Dubbo]].
