Michael Jones is an American actor, voice actor, Internet and YouTube personality who is known for his work with Rooster Teeth's gameplay division Achievement Hunter. He is the fourth main host at Achievement Hunter since 2012. He is most well known as a member of the Rooster Teeth team and a core part of Achievement Hunter who became the host of the hit series Rage Quit. He does Let's Play videos for Achievement Hunter for games such as Saints Row and Minecraft. He is good friends with Gavin Free and Ray Narvaez, Jr.
What if I told you....There were theories around this guy? Not real ones, all in good fun! What is Mr. Rage Quit going to do? Sue me? Ha, no. I have nothing against the guy really, but there some interesting shit about the guy that got me thinking. So stick around seriously, you'll get interested.
The Origin of Mogar: Exactly where did Michael got the name Mogar from? Let's turn back the pendulum, shall we? OK, once upon a time there was a TV show on Cartoon Network called The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. There was one episode where Billy's dad appeared as a KISS impersonator kind of guy! Mogar is the Metal-Rock Persona of Harold, also known as Billy's father from the T.V. show Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy in the episode "Battle of the Bands". He lurks in the audience of a Battle of the Bands concert (apparently in a similar attire to that of a KISS band member) and swoops out to attack the winning band. After a loud battle cry, Mogar flies toward the enemy before realizing the physical improbability and crashing down, wrecking the stage. And now years into the future and present is Mogar with a bear cowl, no shirt, pants, and not the same from the show on Cartoon Network. Possibly Michael 'Rage Quit' Jones is a fan of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy? Who knew! I could be wrong.
Michael Fits Antihero to a T: Michael Jones actually fits the parts of a jerkass with a heart of gold and a vigilante antihero. For instance; he voices Sun Wukong! He's a half human, half monkey being--He starts off a mischievous rapscallion but for some reason he turns out to be one of the good guys. Michael voiced Sting in Fairy Tail who starts off as a jerkass as well as the other members of Sabertooth but Fairy Tail defeats them and they become good people. And Mogar (yup, him!) who starts off a berserker bear vigilante that works for the Mad King however once finding out about the Mad King's intentions, he joins alongside Vav and X Ray! Ironic isn't it? I guess he knows how to play golden hearted jerkasses, antiheroes that start off as the bad side and the good side when finding out the main villain's intentions as the vigilante joins the good side but still has reasons.
Nice Guy: As quoted by Regomania, they said: "God knows how much respect I have for this man. Some people might think of him as a raging, angry a**hole. But in truth he's possibly the most compassionate, kindest, jolliest and sweetest people i've ever come across." True! He's very nice when away from games, When he is gaming, he goes crazy. He is aware of how loud everyone finds him and tries to record Rage Quit when most people have left the office as a courtesy. He also says he does not like doing the whole Rage Quit thing in front of kids, particularly as he knows they shouldn't be watching it. Compare his attitude in Let's Play Minecraft episode 3 (when Achievement City debuts) to his attitude in anything else. It's almost surprising to see how nice he's being, since there's no competition going on and he's being grateful to Gavin as opposed to being pissed off at him as usual. In his "King Michael" episode of Let's Play Minecraft, he's very much The Good King and a genuine Nice Guy throughout the episode, as he's the GM instead of a competitor. He still showed frustration when people defied him, but this happened rarely since pleasing the king usually got them tangible rewards. It helps that he was deliberately trying to distance himself from the Mad King image that Ryan has going. Compare his attitude with Gavin in the Surgeon Simulator 2013 videos. It's evident that Michael scales up his anger greatly on-camera for Rage Quit, as he treats Gavin like he does in real life during the latter, though still expressing frustration when Gavin does screw up. See guys, he's just in character, no reason to hate him!
