![]() Role in Dark Tower Series Wizard and Glass Īs might be expected, Jonas is rather reticent about his past, though it is plain that he is a man of considerable experience. He recruited Roy for his expertise in thieving, and used him to assassinate the Chairman of the Ritzy Coalworker's Guild. It was not, long after this he recruited Clay Reynolds and not long after Roy Depape and they became guns for hire. Exiled he wandered Mid-World and many others through the special doors as he calls them, at one point he became a captive in Garlan where he received a back full of criss-crossed whip scars.
