Don't try anything clever. If you double-cross me, I will throw you in a hole so deep you won't know which way is up.
― Moya Jones.

Moya Jones was a member of the DARPA who was involved in a collaboration with the First Sons and later worked with Cole MacGrath in Empire City.[1][2]

Biography

Collaboration with the First Sons

When the DARPA collaborated with the First Sons by funding the Ray Sphere, Moya Jones worked directly with Kessler and, as an alliance with the DARPA and the First Sons, during the Ray Sphere development.[2]

Moya and Kessler

Moya with Kessler before the Blast.

Moya had Kessler show her one of the test subjects David Warner and explained the Ray Sphere's effect on him each time he was exposed to it even though she is disgusted by Kessler's tests. Though Moya and the DARPA were unaware of Kessler's true intentions for the Ray Sphere, he used the Ray Sphere to create the Blast. Subsequently, Moya and several soldiers attempted to arrest Kessler for causing the Blast. However, Kessler killed the soldiers and told Moya that the Ray Sphere was with the NSA agent John White. Moya then made it her main focus to obtain the Ray Sphere for the the DARPA by finding John.[1][2]

Working with Cole

Cole-Meets-Moya

Moya and Cole's first confrontation.

After the Quarantine was put in place after the Blast, Moya worked to track down John White. After Cole MacGrath attempted to break through Quaratine, the door shut and he ended up trapped in a decontamination unit. Being a powerful Conduit, Moya saw him as an opportunity to get the Ray Sphere. Moya revealed herself to Cole, lied that John White was her husband, and lost contact with him after the Blast despite her connections.[1]

Moya shortly made an agreement with Cole: if he can find the Ray Sphere and John, she will clear Cole's name and free him from the Quarantine. She then taped Cole's phone and has him return to Empire City. Moya has Cole carry out various missions such as collecting John's Dead Drops, tracking down contacts like Brandon Carey, and twarting many of the Reaper and Dust Men's operations.[1]

Secrets Revealed

Cole: "What do you want me to tell Moya?"
John: "Who the hell's Moya?"
Cole: "Uh, your wife?"
John: "You're getting played. I've never been married, and don't know anyone named Moya."
—Cole discovering Moya was lying.[1]

However, after establishing contact with John, Cole discovered that Moya did not know John at all and was not married to him. When Cole told Moya this, she admitted that she lied to him but justified her actions by identifying the Ray Sphere as a "weapon of ultimate destruction" that must be locked away for the protection of humanity. She feared if she told Cole the truth, he would refuse or break off the deal, hence she lied. Moya continued to insist that Cole obligate to their deal and return the Ray Sphere to her and the DARPA; however, he instead allies himself with John and resolved to destroy it.[1]

Attack on Empire City

I warned you that if I lost control, they'd escalate things. You shouldn't have reneged on our deal.
― Moya to Cole as the military prepare a ground invasion.

As Cole's search for the Ray Sphere drew to a close, Moya called Cole and told him that several military planes were clearing the streets of Empire City to prepare for a ground invasion. Shortly after Moya's severed ties with Cole, the DARPA had captured Alden Tate and sent him to an experiment facility. Moya had her men sedate Alden for an autopsy. Though not fully sedated, Moya then ordered her men to continue the experiment. Moya also gathered several volunteer test subjects at Steel Harbor who were replaced by a mysterious man because of "blood abnormality."[2]

Moya and sasha

Moya has Sasha's tar extracted at Steel Harbor.

Cole and the police continued to defend the city and its citizens, as Moya prepared to lead a military operation to capture Cole, feeling that he was too powerful to remain a free man. However, believing Sasha would be a threat to the operation because of her love for Cole. Moya had Sasha imprisoned and extracted the psychotropic black tar that flowed through her in the hope it could be used against Cole. As Moya's troops invaded Empire City and as Cole fought them off, a DARPA agent called Cole and told him how serious she was about the operation. Subsequently, Moya sent several soldiers to save Cole from David Warner, who tried to kill Cole believing he was Kessler in disguise.[2]

Eventually, Cole and David fought in a building where Moya called Cole on the phone and warned him to escape before the building is bombed by the military to kill David. Later at Steel Harbor, Moya told the military general that without Cole, the DARPA and the military cannot replicate the Ray Sphere effect. Moya then suggested they move Cole far away from Empire City as David was still trying to kill him. As their attempts to capture Cole failed, Moya claimed they should change their methods to capture him. Shortly thereafter Moya and the military were able to track down Cole, utilizing Sasha's tar, Moya was able to capture Cole.[2]

MoyaDies

Moya drowns

At Steel Harbor on a military ship, Moya tried to convince Cole to work for the military. He refused and Moya decided that a device should be implemented into his skull to allow them to have total control over Cole. However, it was also at this time that Warden Harms, Zeke, and the police attempted to save Cole. He soon escaped with Sasha's aid after she broke from her cell. Moya, however, was able to stealthily attack Sasha from behind with a pipe. Sasha retaliates, though Moya is aided by several troops.[2]

As the ship they were on began to sink because of the fight outside with Cole, David, the military, the Conduits, the military general threatened to shut down Moya's operation because of her recent actions. Moya then killed the general with a gun and ran to see the carnage outside. As Cole kills David, Moya warned him that in a phone call that there could be a bounty on him. However, as the ship sunk, Moya was suddenly trapped. Though Cole tried to save her, Moya told him to leave before he is killed by the water. With this, Moya died drowning in the ship.[2]

Trivia

  • Although being a major plot character in inFAMOUS, she never truly made an appearance—the closest being in a cut-scene. All other interactions with her are through Cole's phone. She is, however, a central character and co-antagonist of the DC comics.
  • When Zeke dug up information on Moya, he mentions that she is part of the DEFENDER Program, but nothing much is known about it.
  • Shortly after the debut promo of inFamous: Second Son, Moya was rumored to be the leader of DUP. However, it was instead revealed to be Brooke Augustine, who has several similarities to Moya.
  • Moya as a character has been positively received by critics and fans alike.
  • Moya, along with Alden Tate, are the only central characters from inFamous to be killed in the DC comics.
  • While talking to Cole about how the revelation that Conduits exist will change the world, she compares it to when the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan in World War II. This is similar to how Nick Fury summed up the events of 2006's arc Marvel:Civil War, as he presumed heroes would no longer be welcome in the world and would be in hiding, so it would be the direct opposite of Civil War.
