Michael Jones

## Character Overview

### Background

At some point Michael Jones went from happily married man to divorcee. Not much is known about the break-up, except that it was not amicable. He and his wife started arguing. His wife married another man.moved to New York, and had another child, Emily. Although it's unsure if Emily was born before or after the break-up.

His daughter, Mickey, chose to go with her father. Together, they traveled the country as he tried to find a job and a place to settle down. When the money ran out, they stopped staying at cheap hotels and started camping out. Eventually, fate brought them to Kollok, WA. Mike found a job with Synchroneity as "security". However, Mike was not a security guard. Instead, he enforced the company's will outside their facility. It was a job that called upon him to kill people, which did not sit will with him. Still, he murdered people as Synchroneity dictated, and he developed a drinking habit in order to deal with it.

Michael was eventually approached by another Synchroneity employee, who wanted to expose Synchroneity's activities. Michael agreed to help, in order to right some of the wrongs he had done. However, every time that they came close to getting enough information, Mike's memory was wiped and they would have to start again. He was tailing Rachel Jewell before she disappeared, and once again his memory was stolen.

This took a toll on Mike. He began to think that he might have something to do with the disappearance of young girls that he couldn't remember. When confronted by his daughter about the disappearance of Rachel, a bartender, Nathan Kaiser, overheard the conversation. In order to protect Mickey, he killed Nathan, shooting him. If Synchroneity found out what they were talking about, Mike knew they would come for his daughter.

When Mickey lost the use of her legs, Mike's wife came to Kollok to help their daughter. The situation caused the two of them to become close once again, and they started dating. But the actions of their daughter and her friends put Mike's life in jeopardy. Synchroneity ordered Michael Jones to be killed because he knew too much. While Mike and his ex spent some time at a hotel in Portland, Mickey called him and urged him not to return to town. She implored for both of them to go on the run.

Mickey eventually felt the need to check up on her father as the situation in Kollok got worse. Traveling through the Grotto, she and some friends appeared in Portland. She found her parents at Portland Suites. However, the relationship was not going too well. They had started arguing. Mike started drinking again. Apparently, Mickey's mother thought of their daughter as a freak and "too much like her father". When Mike went missing, Mickey tracked him down at a bar, where he was extremely drunk and causing a disturbance. Mickey convinced him to go back to the hotel. When Mike saw Mickey near Agent Bucket, he panicked. He thought Bucket was a threat, somehow aligned with Synchroneity. Mike shot Bucket, killing him. In return, Lexi Noff disintegrated him.

This, however, was not the end of Michael Jones' story. Mickey, distraught over the loss of her father, convinced Clarence Anah to take the form of her father. Then, she took an ego similar to her father's and placed it within Clarence, repressing Clarence's ego. Surface level, she had brought back her father. In reality, this was another Michael Jones, from another universe, within another man's body. This reunion was short-lived because Mickey and her friends were wanted by the government, and the group was captured. Further, Skye Hawkins was out-of-time and would soon snap back to the time that she belonged. When this happened, Prime split in two. In Prime A, the fake Michael Jones existed. In the new Prime B, Michael Jones never died.

In Prime B, the argument never happened. He didn't start drinking again. Instead, Mike and his ex decided to get back together. His ex and Emily were moving back to Kollok. And they were going to give their relationship another chance.
