In his early life, | In his early life, Mark Jones lived in [[Elysium City]], on the planet of [[Eridanus II]]. He was large for his age at the time, approximately a foot above his school peers. John had all the genetic markers set in [[Dr. Halsey]]'s original study- he was as close to a perfect subject for the SPARTAN-II program as science could determine. He was a specimen of perfect physical proportion and stunning intellect. [[Dr. Halsey]] and [[Lieutenant]] [[Jacob Keyes]] went to his colony world to study him or "view" him, and were quite amazed by his reflexes and luck when Dr. Halsey flipped a quarter and he almost seemed to know which side it would land on.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' pages 21-26</ref> John and quite a few other children his age were covertly kidnapped from their homes, and replaced with [[Flash Clones]] which later died of natural causes.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Page 270</ref> | ||
