| '''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}}

| {{Main|Battle of Mombasa}}
| |
| 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}}

| ==Production notes==
| | <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]]. |
| *Fones, though unnamed throughout the cinematic, is named after Jeremy Fones, one of the animators in [[Bungie]] and worked on ''Another Day at the Beach''.{{Ref/Marketing|H2|Halo 2: Killtacular}}
| |
| *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.

| | During the [[First Battle of Earth]], his squad was dispatched from the [[UNSC In Amber Clad]] from [[Cairo]] Station 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, as the squad's own sniper, neutralized the Jackal with his "welcome-to-Earth gift basket", causing the majority of the other Covenant to flee the area. A [[Active Camouflage|camouflaged]] [[Elite]] then snuck up on the squad and took Jones hostage with an [[Energy Sword]]. One of his squad-mates, wielding an overcharged plasma pistol from a [[Grunt]], killed the alien, along with [[Pete Stacker|Stacker]] using his Battle Rifle, and freed him. His subsequent fate is unknown, although it is possible that he was killed by the destruction of Mombasa at the hands of the [[Prophet of Regret]], or that he escaped with the rest of his squad. |

| ==List of appearances== | | ==Trivia== |
| *''[[Halo 2]]'' {{1st}} | | *Jones is named after the [[Bungie]] employee: [[Jason Jones]]. He worked as the Project Lead for ''[[Halo 2]]''. |
| *''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''
| | *Jones has a lot in common with "Snaky", including both soldiers being ODSTs, both being Marine snipers, and both being Lance Corporals. It is possible they are the same character. |
