Jonas

"I am not worth five people."

— Jonas replying to Sadie's pleas for him to evacuate the city

Jonas was a butcher in Old Mombasa during 2552. He was massive in size, but calm and friendly in nature.

Biography

During the Covenant invasion on Earth, he was calmly giving away his food to the crowd escaping from the city. He had decided to stay in the city, as he realistically had no way to escape as he was too heavy to walk long distances, or would take too many seats on a bus, train or boat. He claimed that he could take up to five seats in public transport vehicles. Sadie Endesha tried to convince him to leave the city, but he insisted that Sadie escaped first, or went to find her father and then come back for him with a forklift. His eventual fate is unknown, but he was likely killed as he had no way to escape the city.
