Unfortunately, moments before they were meant to hit the ground, Regret's Carrier jumped into [[slipspace]], generating a massive shockwave and an [[Electromagnetic Pulse|EMP]] that scattered the squad's [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pods]] all around the city. Jonathan's pod was slammed into by [[Michael Crespo]]'s pod, cracking the window of Jonathan‘s pod and sending it into free-fall. Despite this, Jonathan had survived, although he was knocked unconscious.{{Ref/Reuse|ptd}} | ||

Like [[John-117]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]], The Rookie is meant to be a largely undefined character with whom the player can easily identify. As such, his face is never seen and he never speaks. He is thus a true silent protagonist, in contrast to all other playable characters in the ''Halo'' series, who have dialogue at least in cutscenes. It is believed that his initials, J.D., are a reference to "[[Wikipedia:John Doe|John Doe]]," a placeholder name commonly given to a male who is as of yet unidentified. The [[2022]] edition of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' would reveal Rookie's full name to be Jonathan Doherty,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p97}} which is itself likely a play on "John Doe". | Like [[John-117]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]], The Rookie is meant to be a largely undefined character with whom the player can easily identify.
