| '''Fones''' was a [[UNSC]] [[ODST|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 ODST Battalion|7th Battalion]], [[105th ODST Division]] in [[2552]].{{Ref/Game|Id=beach|H2MMP|Another Day at the Beach}}

| | <b>Jones</b> was a [[UNSC]] [[Marine]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] stationed at [[Earth]] in [[2552]]. He was probably part of the [[7th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division]]. |
| | During the [[First Battle of Earth]], his squad was dispatched from the [[UNSC In Amber Clad]] to relieve the ground forces. Shortly after deployment, their [[Pelican]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a [[Scarab]] walker. He survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a Covenant patrol. When the squad was pinned down by a [[Jackal]] sniper, Jones, being the squad's own sniper, neutralized the Jackal with his "welcome-to-Earth gift basket." An Elite then snuck up on the squad and took Jones hostage, but his squadmates managed to kill the Elite and save him. His squad then met up with the [[Master Chief]] and helped him to take out the Scarab. |

| During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Fones belonged to "Second Squad", serving aboard the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}. He was deployed to the [[Battle of Mombasa]] on [[2552#October|October 2552]], under the command of [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]].{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}

| Fones and his squad were aboard a [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]] when it was shot down by a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}} walker on approach to an area in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. After their Pelican made a rough landing outside of an [[Hotel Zanzibar|abandoned beachside hotel]] in [[Old Mombasa]], Fones reported that [[O'Brien (ODST)|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 {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} had landed on Fones's helmet. Using quick reflexes, the [[ODST]] was able to remove his headgear and hurl it toward the camouflaged Sangheili's position on higher ground. There, Sergeant Stacker and his team saw the charging soldier, only after it had held [[Walpole]] as a prisoner. [[Butkus]] opened fire with an overcharged [[plasma pistol]] at the Sangheili, as Stacker shot the Sangheili in the head with his [[BR55 battle rifle]].{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}

| *In the original ''Halo 2'' cinematic by Bungie, 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 by Bungie, it was Fones who said, "Cook the bastard" to Butkus, and shot the Sangheili with his battle rifle. In the remastered cinematic by Blur Studio, the role was given to Stacker.
