Jonah Prowse (Jericho character)

Jonah Prowse
Jonah is the leader of a group of survivalists who are based just outside of the town. He has a number of young men, including Mitchell Cafferty, at his command, and access to weapons and the supplies Dale recovered from the abandoned train.

Jonah is revealed to be Emily's father, and they are estranged over his actions that inadvertently led to the death of his son and Emily's brother Chris. He also has some history with Jake, and Gray has strong feelings about his trustworthiness.

Eventually, members of Jonah's group chafe at his reluctance to engage in violent attacks and begin to question his leadership. The final result is Mitchell Cafferty framing Jonah for Gracie's murder. Jonah tries to hide out at Emily's home but is later captured by Gray. Jake was able to save Jonah from brutal execution after learning that Mitchell may have been most likely Gracie's murderer. Jonah is then exiled from Jericho.

Jonah Prowse is portrayed by James Remar.
