Life

Induction into the Headhunters

Jonah was inducted into the two-man, special operations group known as "Headhunters" when he met all of the necessary requirements and beyond. He was paired up with Ronald because their match rating was approximately 97%.

The Infiltration Mission

Jonah and Roland were assigned to infiltrate, along with one other Headhunter group, several Covenant bases located on an unknown, remote moon. Jonah was tasked with infiltrating the base under cover of semi-active camouflage and then planting explosives on four reactors. Other than a few minor bumps, the team made it to the base undetected. Inside the base, everything went off without a hitch. After Jonah had placed the charges, he continued to help eliminate the remaining targets, all of whom were still confused by Roland's energy disruptors and flashbangs. One final group of Covenant made their way to Jonah's location. Neither group fired at each other, but Jonah took out his tactical knife and knelt down next to an Elite's body and cut offs its head. Jonah's cocky and arrogant nature showed itself, as he began taunting his enemies with the severed head and laughed as he watched their anger grow. He flung the severed head at the remaining Covenant and proceeded to kill them all.

Outside, they eliminated stragglers. As they confirmed the chargers were in place, Roland was run through with an energy sword from behind. His dying word was "Clear". After a small scuffle with the Energy Sword-wielding Elite, Jonah became increasingly confused. He had never encountered an Elite that "waited." But before long, it was revealed that this Elite was not traveling alone, and had brought five other Elites. It became apparent to Jonah that this was all a trap, and that the Covenant knew about the Headhunters. Jonah realized why his fallen friend had said "Clear". Roland had primed the explosives as his dying act. Jonah proceeded to mock the Elites before eventually using his final energy disruptor to disrupt the Elites' energy shields, ensuring his final action would have the ultimate impact on his foes.

Death

The Elite in charge proceeded to grab Jonah after he used his energy disruptor, using his energy sword to slowly slice a gash into Jonah's face. The Elites that surrounded Jonah grabbed him and began ripping him limb from limb, but not before he could release his finger from the detonator, destroying everything in the surrounding area.

Personality

Jonah, as compared to his comrade, Roland, is arrogant, cocky, carefree, and what some may call immature. He feeds off the heat of battle and is known for taunting his enemies before killing them. He is known for taking his missions as some sort of fun game, and is called a sociopath by Roland because of his enjoyment of killing.
