== Biography ==
Eric is first seen greeting Eric King and Clarice when they arrive at Camp Slayer via helicopter, leading them through the base and into the briefing room. There, he witnesses Eric's debriefing about the satellite Caelus program. He then joins the team when they head to the LZ, which turned out to be huts inhabited by heroine selling shepherds. There, they are attacked by a team of Iraqis before sinkholes open up and swallow both military teams, causing them to fall into the sand caverns below. After falling into the chasms, he will meet up with Nick, Clarice and Merwin. Clarice gets dragged away and Merwin can either be killed or Jason and Nick take them with him. Either way, they reach the chasm when Eric and Rachel tried to hide from Dar, but Rachel fell into the chasm. 
Reaching the temple, Jason and Nick formed a defense perimeter, later encountering Dar. He and Nick get split up and eventually finds Nick with Salim and a vampire corpse. While Eric examines the body, Jason is attacked by a vampiric Joey, who ends up falling into the chasm below and the protagonists find a radio. If Merwin is still alive by this point, he will fix the radio. They are then attacked by Dar and the gunfight draws the vampires attention. The group retreat to the temple where they are met up with Rachel. They retreat deeper into the catacombs and meet up with Dar and Salim, forming a temporary truce. In the sacrificial chamber, the group are attacked and Jason is dragged away by a vampire although he manages to kill it. Jason meets Salim and the two explore the catacombs until reaching a giant green pit, which they descend into with the use of an elevator. 
Reaching the bottom, the duo stumble upon the lair of the vampires and will meet up with the other protagonists, if they are still alive, and enter the Star Chamber. They learn the true nature of the vampires and proceed to blow up the mother lode. Upon destroying the cocoon vault, the survivors manage to escape to the surface although Jason can possibly be killed upon attempting to do so. On the surface, an eclipse starts and the survivors fall back into one of the huts, taking a stand against the vampires and possibly the Ancient One if he wasn't killed in the vampire lair. Here, Jason, along with any other protagonists still alive, can possibly be killed by the creatures. Once the eclipse is over, Jason will then be rescued by air support and taken back to Camp Slayer for interrogation. 
== Personality ==
Jason is shown to be commanding, relentless in his goals and determined to succeed. He is very loyal to the military, refusing to leave Merwin behind when given the option. Jason initially hated the Iraqis but can possibly become friends with Salim depending on their relationship status.
== Trivia ==
