BiographyEdit

Perfect Dark ZeroEdit

Jonathan is first introduced at the end of Mission 7 when he saves Joanna from Chandra Sekhar. He explains that he and his squad was sent there to save her, download Zeigler's program and destroy Trinity Base. After they're extracted from the base, he remarks on how good Joanna's combat skills are and how they "made a good team back there". He then introduces Joanna to Daniel Carrington via hologram, who in turn convinces her to team up with the Carrington Institute - for the time being.

Later on while in Peru, Jonathan and his squad are captured by dataDyne and are brought to Africa for interrigation and execution. After Joanna saves them, he and his squad provide support for her through out the rest of the mission.

In the begining of Mission 12, Jonathan is in a hovercraft that is blown up by dataDyne jetpack troops. He survives the explosion, but due to his injuries, he is unable to provide adiquet support for Joanna. Joanna then escorts him to the bridge where Carrington and several Institute members are stationed.

At the end of the game, Jonathan - despite his injuries - leads a squad to the Colessuem where Joanna was last. When the arena Joanna and Zhang Li were fighting in collaspes, Jonathan signals his squad to not fire upon Joanna. Jonathan staggers forward to help Joanna as she collaspes due to her own injuries. He helps her up as Carrington arrives to talk to her. As the game ends, Jonathan can be seen wrapping his arm around Joanna's shoulders.

Perfect DarkEdit

Jonathan is sent to Area 51 by the Carrington Institute to spy on the NSA. Carrington's "friends" - the Maian delegation - are shot down in Nevada and the equipment, bodies and survivors are recovered by the NSA and taken to Area 51 for studies. Jonathan manages to get a video out to the CI, who send Joanna Dark to assist him in the rescue of any survivors.

Joanna meets up with Jonathan who helps get her further into the facility by providing her with explosives. Joanna manages to rescue the comatose Maian Elvis and hides him in a safe place. She locates a Maian medkit and meets up with Jonathan again; they fight their way back to Elvis and revive him. Together, they manage to get to Elvis' flying saucer and escape Area 51.

Later, as the Skedar storm the Carrington Institute headquarters, Jonathan covers Jo as she breaks her way into Carrington's safe and destroys the sensitive data stored within. This only happens if Joanna escapes from Area 51 on the hoverbike.

His fate is unknown, as he is not seen later in the game and it's possible for him to die in the Carrington Institute without a mission fail, and even if he doesn't, he does not head for the dropship.
