Jonas Palmer is a resident medical technician of Vault 101 in 2277.
Background
Wholesome, good-humoured, jokey, smart, and kind, Jonas has been James's assistant as well as the Lone Wanderer and James's friend for as long as the Lone Wanderer, who got along with Jonas famously, can remember.[1]
In the late 2260s, Jonas was appointed to be James' assistant by the Overseer, who hoped he would be a voice of reason. Jonas and James forged a friendship very quickly and together they worked at examining and treating patients, as well as conducting routine experiments testing the health of the Vault. For an unknown length of time, James deliberately kept his assistant in the dark about covert experiments aimed at reviving Project Purity. Eventually, Jonas grew suspicious of the physician's activities and by mid-2274, Jonas was willingly aiding James with experiments related to Project Purity.
After James escapes from Vault 101, Jonas is killed by Officer Mack for helping James open the Vault and trying to escape with him.
Relationships
He is the son of Anne Palmer and the grandson of Lucy "Old Lady" Palmer.[1]
