- "Damn it!"
- — "Snaky" Jones, after Noga 'Putumee avoided his sniper shot.
Lance Corporal "Snaky" Jones was a UNSC Marine and ODST. As a sharpshooter with the Helljumpers, he bore a Sniper Rifle in combat. He was fond of candy bars.[1]
Biography
Jones was one of the Marines stationed aboard 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 discovered that his helmet (with his team mic) was missing, therefore he followed his sniper training and climbed to some cover and an elevated firing position 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. For unknown reasons (possibly because he didn't know the Covenant rankings or knew that Field Masters have stronger shields than that of blue armored Sangheili), 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 and kill the human. It is unknown if Jones was killed immediately following this, when the ring exploded, or if he somehow survived.[4]
Trivia
- It is unknown why Snaky was assigned to gun a Warthog turret when he was a sharpshooter, and would be a more valuable asset riding shotgun.
- It is possible Snaky was the same Marine as Jones, as both have many things in common, such as the rank of Lance Corporal, both being ODSTs, and both being sharpshooters.
