Biography

Jones was one of the Marines stationed on the Pillar of Autumn and was aboard it when it crashed. Under the command of First Lieutenant Melissa McKay, Jones joined a convoy that was ferrying supplies to Alpha Base. However, Covenant ground forces under the command of Noga 'Putumee soon attacked the convoy using Wraiths, Banshees, and Ghosts. Jones was in the fourth Warthog with Sergeant Corly when the vehicle was hit by a plasma mortar round from a Wraith. Corly was killed but Jones was thrown free.[1] Once recovered, he climbed atop a hill from which to ply his trade.

Targets soon presented themselves in the forms of two Elites, one being Minor Domo Elite Ado 'Mortumee and the other the Zealot Noga 'Putumee himself. For unknown reasons Jones chose to kill the lesser ranked Elite first.[2] His shot severed 'Mortumee's head but his second at 'Putumee missed. The Covenant commander responded by calling down Banshees to locate the human and kill him.[3]

Jones' subsequent fate is unknown. Nonetheless his death is assured for those few UNSC Marines which survived the battles upon Installation 04 were killed in the detonation of the Pillar of Autumn's fusion drive core.
