Jon
Information
A research scientist from Umbrella's Chicago laboratory, Jon currently works at the Arklay Laboratory. After William Birkin was transferred to the research lab under Raccoon City, Jon was reassigned to work with him. He inherited the chief oversight responsibility for B.O.W. research and development. However, although he was an exceptionally gifted scientist, he refused to participate in criminal research and was thus thoroughly disliked by the upper levels of the Umbrella Corporation.
At the time, Jon's noble nature found its chief support from his lover, Ada Wong. She first met Jon after penetrating the Arklay Lab disguised as a researcher. Her mission was to gather all information relating to the T-Virus research. It seems that he believed her all the way to the end, because in August 1998, he sent her a letter in which he admitted to having been infected with the T-Virus and asking her to get the story out to the mass media.
