Nicholas Jones

Nicholas Jones is a character of the Beyond the Blue series and member of the original group. His sister in law being a member of the scientist group, he and his family came with her to protect themselves from the alien threat. His wife also found her place among the group and provided useful information, while Nicholas stepped up and made himself useful by going on supply runs. After they left the bunker, both he and his wife stayed close to their son, Gregory, trying to shield him from the world around him.

Pre-Apocalypse
Prior to the apocalypse,  Nicholas was an expert driver in most vehicles, from vans to motrocycles, and as such he volunteered to go on supply runs. When the met the Davis family, Nicholas acknowledged Jason's skills and made him his assistant, making the supply trips easier. From the first moment, William put him in charge of the supply trips

Anne's Death
Nicholas and Anne fought all the time over Nicholas going on supply runs, but it was something Nicholas wanted done since it was the best he could do to make himself useful to the group. When Anne died, Nicholas wasn't around when she was bitten, nor when she turned and the others waited for him to put her down but in vain. Nicholas had decided to stay for the night. Michael went out to get him but wasn't fast enough, Anne died before Nicholas made it back, and couldn't say goodbye to his wife. Gregory was by his mother's side all the time, and after her death he got mad at his father for not being there. Nicholas then abandoned the supply runs for a while to look after his son

Death
Nicholas died shortly after, and although Christine was supposed to be his new guardian, her deteriorating health made her decide to give George and Karen a chance to raise him, since she didn't want Greg to lose another parent after a while
