Template:Human Character Infobox
Lance Corporal Jones was a UNSC Marine sharpshooter and Orbital Drop Shock Trooper stationed at Earth in 2552. He was under the command of Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, and was probably part of the 7th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Battalion of the 105th as well.
Character Biography
During the first days of the Battle of Earth, his squad was dispatched from the UNSC In Amber Clad from Cairo Station to relieve the ground forces. Shortly after deployment, their Pelican was shot down over Old Mombasa by a Scarab walker. He survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a Covenant patrol.
When the squad was pinned down by a Jackal sniper, Jones, as the squad's own sniper, neutralized the Jackal with his "welcome-to-Earth gift basket", causing the majority of the other Covenant to flee the area. A camouflaged Elite then sneaked up on the squad and took Jones hostage with an Energy Sword held at his throat. One of his squad-mates, wielding an overcharged plasma pistol taken dropped by a Grunt, killed the alien, along with Stacker using his Battle Rifle, and freed him. His subsequent fate is unknown, although it is possible that he returned to the In Amber Clad with the rest of his squad and accompanied assisting John-117 to Delta Halo, and later at the Battle of Voi and the Battle of Installation 00.
Personality
Like all ODSTs, Jones is extremely tough and professional. He is an excellent marksman, and isn't afraid of enemy snipers. He also has a humorous side even in combat, stating he would give his "Welcome to Earth gift basket", and casually shoots down a Jackal. When he is being held hostage by an Elite, he orders the team to kill the Elite instead of saving him.
Trivia
- Jones is probably named after the Bungie employee: Jason Jones. He worked as the Project Lead for Halo 2.
- Jones has much in common with "Snaky", including both soldiers being ODSTs, both being Marine snipers, and both being Lance Corporals. It is possible they are the same character, although it is unknown how "Snaky" would of escaped Halo, so it is highly unlikely that they are both the same character.
- He also shares his name and rank with a character from the British sitcom "Dad's Army".
