Biography
Jones was one of the Marines stationed on the Pillar of Autumn and was evacuated with the other personnel on board. 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.[2] Once recovered, he followed his sniper training and climbed to some cover in the form of rocks.
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 (possibly because he didn't know the Covenant rankings), Jones chose to kill the lesser ranked Elite first.[3] His first shot decapitated Ado 'Mortumee, but his second, aimed at Noga 'Putumee, missed due to the Field Master's seeking cover. The Covenant commander responded by calling down Banshees to locate the human and kill him.[4] But the marine manages to hide, and apparently he had enough suplies to make it back to Alpha base. Jones' subsequent fate is unknown. Most likely he and his fellow ODSTs who survived the battles of Installation 04 were killed in the detonation of the Pillar of Autumn's fusion drive core, destroying the Halo.
