==Biography==
Jonathan is an estate agent in London, who is engaging to the schoolteacher Mina Murray. One day, he is tasked to visit Count Dracula in Transylvania and discuss buying a house. In Transylvania, despite the villagers' warnings about Dracula, Jonathan dismisses them all and continues his journey. Once at Dracula's castle, he is welcomed by the Count, although the latter's weird behavior whenever there's blood on Hutter, alongside some strangeness surrounding the Count (lacking reflections in mirrors, able to go through doors like a bat, etc.) worry him. One night, Jonathan sees Dracula crawling on the wall and realizes that the latter is a vampire, and that he himself is a prisoner of the Count.
Jonathan tries to escape and succeeds, but faints from the fall and is nursed back to health by the villagers nearby, and recovered from the trauma thanks to the help of Mina, who goes to Budapest to help him. However, when they return, they learn that Lucy has died of mysterious circumstances, revealed to be Dracula's attacks. Lucy then returns as a vampire, forcing Professor Abraham Van Helsing to kill her.
Mina then does research about the Count's plans and tells them to Jonathan and her friends, the other protagonists. Then she and Jonathan joins Professor Abraham Van Helsing to destroy Dracula, but the Count manages to bewitches Mina and turns her into a vampire. As the story progresses, Mina slowly succumbs to vampirism, forcing the main group to find and kill Dracula to free her, otherwise she will end up just like Lucy. Taking advantage of Mina's psychic connection with Dracula, Van Helsing and the group manage to track the vampire's castle and defeat his minions. They then kills Dracula, freeing Mina from vampirism, but Quincey is killed in the process.
Later on, Mina gives birth to a son, who she and Jonathan name Quincey after their deceased friend.
