'''Jonah '''was a [[Spartan-III Program|SPARTAN-III commando]] of the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Intelligence]] [[Beta-5 Division]] and was one of two members of an elite special operations squad known as [[Headhunters]]. He, along with fellow SPARTAN-III [[Roland (Spartan)|Roland]], lead a semi-successful stealth attack on an unknown remote moon on which the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] were digging for [[Forerunner]] artifacts.

Jonah wore green standard-issue [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor|SPI armor]] with a few modifications, including [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]].<ref>'''Headhunters''', ''motion comic''</ref>

==Biography==
===Childhood===
Jonah was born on the human colony [[Eirene]]. Sometime prior to [[2537]] the colony was attacked by the [[Covenant Empire]]. Although Jonah escaped, his parents, brothers and sisters were all killed. Several years later he was one of the hundreds of war orphans recruited into the [[SPARTAN-III Program]].

=== Induction into the Headhunters ===
Jonah was inducted into a two-man fire team as part of the special operations program known as the "[[Headhunters]]" when he met and exceeded all requirements. He was paired with Roland because their match rating was 97.36%. Only one other team scored higher. <ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Headhunters", ''page 161''</ref>

===The infiltration===
Jonah and Roland were assigned to destroy six of the ten identified Covenant bases located on an remote, [[Unidentified moon (Headhunters)|unidentified moon]], while another Headhunter team would destroy the remaining bases. After locating a base, they gathered intelligence about the enemy forces and then devised a plan to destroy the base camp.

Inside the base, everything went according to the SPARTANs' plan. As Roland placed demolition charges in the base's reactors, Jonah eliminated several targets in the camp barracks by using energy disruptors and [[flashbang grenade]]s to confuse his enemies. Jonah began to taunt his enemies with a [[Sangheili]]'s severed  head and laughed as he watched their anger grow. He flung the severed head at the remaining Covenant and then killed them all.

As Roland confirmed that the charges were in place, he was run through with a strange, red-bladed [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] from behind. Before Roland died, he managed to say the word ''"Clear"''. After briefly fighting the energy sword-wielding Elite, Jonah discovered that the Elite was not traveling alone, and had brought five other Elites.

Jonah realized that he had been caught in a trap and that the Covenant knew about the Headhunters. Jonah then realized why his fallen friend had said ''"Clear"''. Roland had told him with his dying act that the charges were set.

===Death===
[[File:HEvol - Elite SpecOps Sword.png|thumb|Jonah, captured by the Elites.]]
The Elite in charge grabbed Jonah, dislocating his shoulder, using his energy sword to slowly slice a gash into Jonah's faceplate, destroying his eye in the process. Another Elite grabbed Jonah by the neck, but not before Jonah declared that his life for the six Elites' was a fair trade. He then released his finger from the detonator, activating the explosives. Jonah, the Elites, and the Covenant camp were all vaporized.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Headhunters", ''pages 191-192''</ref>

==Personality==
Jonah, as compared to his comrade, Roland, was arrogant, cocky, and carefree. He fed off the heat of battle and even taunted his enemies before he killed them. He often regarded his missions as a sort of game. Roland called Jonah a sociopath because of his enjoyment of killing. Roland jokingly said that the only reason he received the active camo module instead of Jonah was because Jonah would use it to give a [[Unggoy|Grunt]] a wedgie. Jonah agreed with that statement.

This makes Beta Company's start date somewhere between April 2539 and January 2540.}} During his training under [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]], Jonah-B283 was found to be particularly proficient in combat. As such, he was assigned to separate special force units outside the general population of Beta Company, and thus did not participate in [[Operation: TORPEDO]], a mission that resulted in the deaths of almost all of Beta Company.

-==Equipment==
-Jonah-B283 wore standard issue green [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor|SPI armor]] with a few modifications, including [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]], and [[energy shielding]]. During the mission to the unidentified moon, Jonah wielded an [[M7S SMG]], a suppressed [[M6C magnum]], a [[combat knife]], as well as energy disruptors and flashbang grenades.{{Ref/Reuse|motioncomic}}
 ==Personality==
-Jonah, as compared to his comrade Roland, was arrogant, cocky, and carefree. He fed off the heat of battle and taunted his enemies before he killed them, often mutilating their corpses in some fashion. Roland said that the only reason he received the active camo was that Jonah would use it to give a [[Unggoy]] a wedgie. Jonah often regarded his missions as a sort of game, with little regard for the possibility of his death. Roland called his teammate a sociopath because of the joy he took in killing Covenant, a trait the Spartan did not dispute.
