Biography[]
September Jones was a former Miss Universe contestant who was stripped of her crown after having sexual relations with all five judges. She went on to become a weather girl, and then a news reporter for Weyland Broadcasting. Jones was filming a prison riot that broke out at Terminal Island Penitentiary on Terminal Island. When later brought to R. H. Weyland, who, coincidentally, was also the owner of the penitentiary, due to the public relations nightmare that her footage caused, she brought up the sensational ratings that it had received upon broadcast. She went on to say that people were very tired of fake violence, and struck a deal with the man to have prisoners fight to the death in a makeshift arena as a television program called Death Match. As an executive producer, Jones secretly meddled with the game by denying prisoners access to certain weapons via a control panel, in order to manipulate the excitement of the spectacle.
Outraged at the rule that a prisoner can submit and evade death, it wasn't long at all before Jones began searching for another fatal game that would be more reliably a ratings booster. When the film's hero, Carl "Luke" Lucas, was brought to the prison for a botched bank job, for which he was just the getaway driver, but tragically wound up killing a police officer regardless, Jones caught a glimpse of his unsanctioned driving skills on the premises, which inspired her to form Death Race.
Warden Parks implored her not to use Lucas in the game, fearing that it would allow the man's former employer turned enemy to know exactly where he was and sent his henchmen to kill him, but Jones couldn't care any less. Jones first tried to persuade Lucas to participate with the promise of his own cell, real food and (implied) sexual favors, courtesy of herself, but when that didn't work, she arranged it so that the passive and weak "Lists", a recently acquainted friend of the hero, would be killed in the hands of a brute named Bill "Big Bill" in Death Match. Wishing to save his friend, Lucas had no choice but to comply.
Lucas managed to perform well in several races, but one of them led to him being badly burned and horribly disfigured. Jones demanded that he keep racing, however, threatening to have Katrina Banks, his girlfriend, gang-raped or killed if he didn't. At the start of the next race, Jones kicked things off the announcement at the ground level as per usual. This time, however, Lucas quickly spun his car around and drove straight into Jones, killing her instantly, and avenged all the people she had killed.
