Jonah Church is the aging mayor of Matewan. Raised in a family that was at best avoided by others, Jonah grew up with a strong sense of independence and no allegiances to any particular group, a trait that would serve him well as he rose through the ranks of the Matewan Law Offices. A well-respected member of the community, Jonah has become a master at juggling between the warring factions in Matewan. Although he is in his mid-life, Jonah still tries to serve his community by going out on investigations, maintaining a good public image, and personally training every new member of the Law Offices.
