Early Life
FP grew up in Riverdale, attending Riverdale High School along side Hermione Lodge, and presumably others, such as Fred Andrews, Penelope Blossom and Alice Cooper. FP later had two kids, Jughead and Jellybean Jones. When the kids were younger, the family use to make frequent trips to the Twilight Drive-In, however they often couldn't afford tickets for everyone, so the kids would hide in the trunk until they parked. His past with Fred Andrews, extends far past high school, as FP once worked at Andrews Construction, but he was fired for stealing materials from a job site. Eventually, for reasons unknown, his family seems to have fell apart, Jughead started living in the projection booth of the drive-in, and the whereabouts of his daughter, Jellybean, and her mother are currently unknown.

Season 1
FP Jones is the leader of a gang of dangerous criminals in the south side of Riverdale. They're called the Southside Serpents. They were hired by Hermione Lodge's husband Hiram Lodge to decrease the value of the Twilight Drive-In by causing a huge crime wave there so that Lodge Industries could get the property at a price that was low. They're known to be drug dealers and petty thieves according to Sheriff Keller's son Kevin Keller.

In The Last Picture Show, FP and Hermione had a heated exchange of words behind a dumpster at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe. Unbeknownst to either of them, their interaction was captured by Cheryl Blossom on her phone. It wasn't long before the two arranged another meeting, this time behind the Twilight Drive-In, on the south side of town. Hermione handed him a brown paper bag, inside were several stacks of cash, however, FP wasn't satisfied with the amount, yet with Hiram Lodge in prison, he was left with no choice but to deal through Hermione. The next morning, he approached Jughead as he tagged his named and his signature crown on the projection booth with spray paint, he told his son that the booth would be torn down too, and taken to the junkyard, and them with it. He asked where Jughead would now be staying as the booth is no longer an option, to which Jughead replied, he'll figure it out. FP and Jughead were known to be estranged.

In Heart of Darkness, FP sends Hermione Lodge a box with a deadly snake inside as a warning to her that she had to give him the amount that he wanted.
