Mr. Jones

MR. JONES:  Appears in all books. He represents the “Merlin” character assigned to guard and educate the boys on the world's true history. Originally, he tried to unlock the secrets of The Great Synergy on his own, but now he understands that it is his duty to help protect the Earth from Darkbrands by putting a knight and dragon together. He is eccentric and zany, yet he cares for the boys very much. He is deliberate with his thinking and excels at strategy, sometimes focusing on the result of a plan more than the means to execute it.

Talisman: Mr. Jones has repurposed a shard from the destroyed The Magic Mirror of Shalott into his eye glasses, which allows him to see into portals and monitor the activity in The Void. He uses this advantage to record information into one of the red books that detail the unknown histories and happenings of the Earth realm.

Associated spells:  Transportation Incantation. It is a human spell that allows him to teleport a small group of individuals to another area. The only limitations are that he must either have direct knowledge of the place or have exact coordinates to it. He also has time restrictions on how long he can maintain the spell, though they have yet to be exceeded.

Trivia: Mr. Jones is a hypothetical amalgamation of Brett Salter's grandfather, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Emmett "Doc" Brown from the Back to the Future trilogy.

Mr. Jones's first name is currently unknown to anyone. Perhaps, even himself.
