==Biography== | {{Quote|Let me give [[Kig-yar Sniper|him]] my "Welcome to [[Earth]]" gift basket.|Lance Corporal Jones}} | ||
'''[[Lance Corporal]] Jones''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] sharpshooter and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] stationed at [[Earth]] in [[2552]]. He was under the command of [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker]], and was probably part of the [[7th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Battalion]] of the [[105th Marine Expeditionary Unit (SOC)|105th Marine Expeditionary Unit]] as well. <ref>'''[[Another Day at the Beach]]'''</ref> | |||
==Character Biography== | |||
During the first day of the [[Battle of Earth]], his squad was dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} from ''[[Cairo Station]]'' to relieve the UNSC's ground forces and to board the Covenant assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]''. Shortly after deployment, their [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican dropship]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] walker. He survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] patrol. | |||
When the squad was pinned down by a [[Kig-yar]] sniper, Jones, as the squad's own sniper, neutralized the Jackal with his "[[SRS99C-S2 AMB Sniper Rifle|welcome-to-Earth gift basket]]", causing the majority of the other Covenant troops to flee the area. A [[Active Camouflage|camouflaged]] [[Sangheili]] then sneaked up on the squad and took Jones hostage by holding an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] held at the sniper's throat. One of Jones' squadmates, [[Butkis]], wielding an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]], along with Gunnery Sergeant Stacker using his [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], killed the alien and freed Jones. His subsequent fate is unknown, although it is possible that he returned to the ''In Amber Clad'' with the rest of his squad and accompanied [[John-117]] to [[Installation 05]], participating in the [[Battle of Installation 05|battle]] there. It is also possible that he was killed by the [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] explosion created as the assault carrier fled New Mombasa, or that he was killed in the combat that followed. | |||
== | ==Personality== | ||
Like all ODSTs, Jones is very tough and professional. He is an excellent marksman, and is not afraid of enemy snipers. He also has a notable sense of humor, even in combat, as evidenced by his desire to provide the Jackal a "Welcome to Earth" 'gift basket'. When he is being held hostage by an Elite, he orders the team to kill the Elite instead of saving him. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Jones is probably named after [[Jason Jones]], one of the co-founders of [[Bungie]], who also worked as the Project Lead for ''[[Halo 2]]''. | |||
*Jones has much in common with "Snaky", including both soldiers being ODSTs, both being Marine snipers, and both being lance corporals. It is unknown how "Snaky" could have escaped [[Installation 04]], although he could have escaped along with [[Sergeant Stacker]] and [[Chips Dubbo]] | |||
