Agent Jones is one half of a pair of government agents investigating supernatural cases. He appears in The Quest for Beasts episode Legacy, which aired on March 14, 2000-as well as making a cameo in the final episode-and in which he is voiced by the late Tony Jay.
Biography[]
Jones's background is unknown; he began working with the government presumably in the 1980s and this is where he met his partner Agent Smith. Together, the two investigate unexplained activities. They would later be hired by The Beast Hunter to help him track down Daniel and his friends.
Appearance and personality[]
Jones is a white man of slender build with strawberry-blond hair and a thin mustache. Like Smith, he dresses in a black and white suit and wraparound sunglasses. While he is a villain, it would appear that Jones is the more calculative of the pair. He is also malevolent, mysterious and sardonic.
Appearances[]
Legacy
Jones and Smith are first seen attending a meeting with The Beast Hunter-under the pseudonym Mr. Bill East. When he explains to them about Daniel and his friends, the two agents decide to investigate.
The three villains travel to the jungles of Cambodia, where the gang are based and start to spy on them. After following them, they finally catch up to the gang and The Beast Hunter reveals himself. He tells the gang that to catch them, he hired the two agents, "as they're trained to follow orders."
The three villains pursue our heroes through the jungle and corner them at Angkor Wat, where Jones and Smith hold them at gunpoint.
As they are about to shoot, Daniel uses his powers of communication with animals to summon a gang of temple monkeys, who pelt the villains with fruit, leading Jones to mutter, "Filthy monkeys!"
The two villains advance on the group, ready to finish them off, but Sonya fights them with a sword, and cuts their clothes to pieces, leaving the two men standing in their tightie whities. The Beast Hunter cries "Pathetic!" before flying off.
Later, Jones and Smith are dragged away in embarrassment by the police, leading Smith to comment, "This is not the high point of my career." After that, it's unknown what happened to them, but in can be assumed that they were sent to prison and later sent back to the USA.
Fight to The End
Jones and Smith have a cameo in Sonya's vision at the end, practicing martial arts with Daniel, implying that they have both reformed.
