BIOGRAPHY[]

The being who would later be known as Jonah was born tens of hundreds of years ago. After his birth ,Jonah gained godly powers of immortality and energy.

One day, after the foundation of PRIDE, he had assembled all the members of the organisation without the knowledge of the members' children and they ,in exchange ,repeatedly revive him what causes him to gain more and more longevity.

PERSONALITY[]

Jonah is a man shrouded by large mystery; he is such a dark individual, which shares a dislike to discuss about his past or true identity. Despite this, Jonah proves himself to be an extremely powerful individual, giving orders to the PRIDE members and controls them in very strong hand ,which means that he is a truly tyrannical individual.

Jonah is not a sadist or a psychopath, but he is truly an over-confident and arrogant ,additionally, he is destructive ,agressive and assertive individual with very headstrong exhibits.

The thing about his headstrong exhibits means that Jonah would never give up on his goals and would not hestiate to kill any enemy or anyone which stand in his path to achieve his goals, which means that he is not only murderous but keeps to hide his goals and motives from others as he leaves those two things shrouded by real mystery.

Jonah is well known to be a master manipulator; a man which would always trick and manipulate others into doing whatever he asks for either to do whatever he wants, as he uses his powerful powers to fright them, and it means that he is a truly formidable individual.

Further than that, Jonah really proves himself to be an egotist as he would never give up on the thing which always keep him alive; his immortality. The deal that he made with the PRIDE members gives him a reason not always to live but also to use his manipulations on them in order to remind them who they deal with, with the addition of not showing full care or even compassion either thinking about the PRIDE members's children, and it is always seems that Jonah is endowed with wonderful skills of business and deal making.

Yet, Jonah always attempt to present a really friendly ,patient ,colorful and calm demeanor, but despite this, towards the end of his ongoing showdown with the Runaways team, it is able to see his true colors; he is revealed to be a truly sinister ,nasty, violent, ruthless, radical and savage individual from presumably the most diabolical kind even if he is not considered or shown as a sadistic psychopath.
