Fones is a UNSC Orbital Drop Shock Shock Trooper and a member of Second Squad, under the command of Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Stacker. He was assigned to the 7th Battalion, 105th ODST Division, onboard UNSC In Amber Clad in 2552.[1]
Biography[edit]
Battle of Mombasa[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Mombasa
During the Battle of Mombasa, Fones and his squad, led by Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Stacker, were dispatched from the UNSC In Amber Clad to infiltrate the Covenant Syfon-pattern assault carrier Solemn Penance with John-117. Their D77-TC Pelican was shot down over Old Mombasa by a Protos-pattern Scarab. Having survived the crash, Fones reported that O'Brien was killed on impact. He, along with his squad quickly moved out to get better cover, and headed toward Hotel Zanzibar. During a skirmish with camouflaged Sangheili, a Anskum-pattern plasma grenade had landed on Fones' helmet. Fones quickly removed his headgear and hurl it toward the camouflaged Sangheili's position on higher ground. Revealed, the Sangheili took Walpole hostage; Butkus fired an overcharged shot at the Sangheili, disabling his energy shields, allowing a fellow ODST to kill the Sangheili with a headshot.[1] Along with the rest of his squad, Fones defended Hotel Zanzibar, then met up with John-117.[2]
Production notes[edit]
- Fones, though unnamed throughout the cinematic, is named after the Bungie employee Jeremy Fones. He worked on the animations and cinematics for Halo 2, including Another Day at the Beach.[3]
- In the original Halo 2 cinematic, Fones and Stacker shared the same facial model, but Stacker was distinguished by the blood on his left cheek. In the remastered cinematic by Blur Studio, Fones' appearance was given a unique facial model which featured a blonde mohawk.
- In the original Halo 2 cinematic, it was Fones who said, "Cook the bastard" to Butkus, and shot the Sangheili with his battle rifle. In the remastered cinematic, the role was given to Stacker.
