Chancellor Thelonious Jaha is the father of Wells and the elected leader of The Ark.

Jaha is the leader of the remaining human race now living in the orbiting space station, The Ark. He seems like a strict person who you can trust and someone that can understand you. He seems very organized and a tough person that is hard to deal with if you have a problem with him.

He has a very negative appearance and a look, maybe because of the tensions going around about The Ark dying. He has black fuzzy hair and brown eyes with a dark skin tone similar to his son Wells Jaha.
