I'm not a villain!

Special Agent Jon "No H" Schloder is a G.H.O.S.T. operative to his core. A true company man, perhaps even more so than his sister, Karen Croft, he has a passion for what he does that routinely bleeds into single-mindedness. He presents himself as a cool, hard, unflappable tough-guy, ready with a tortured turn of phrase for any occasion. But he is often so doggedly determined to follow a train of thought that he misses the obvious... and it doesn't help that there's a natural childishness to his dreams of derring-do that can further blind him to clues he should be picking up.

However, despite his... well, everything, it all comes from a genuinely earnest place: he truly believes that G.H.O.S.T. is a force for good, and strives to protect those who can't otherwise fight for themselves.

“	Better study hard. There's a test. A tough test. It's called... life.	”
—Agent Schloder, "Classified"

When young Jon Schloder turned six years old, no one showed up to his birthday party. Years later, after he had begun serving, his squad was narrowly saved in the "Knee-Slapper Valley Incident" thanks to playground chatter.

While on a nighttime patrol, Schloder came across a teenager in the forest. He demanded the citizen identify himself, only for the young man to be grabbed and carried away by a Cybertronian drone. Believing it to be a Decepticon in disguise, Schloder took it upon himself to bring the offending robot in. The next morning, he used the secret elevator to the Witwicky ranger station to recruit Dot Malto for the mission. He ordered the ranger to drive him back to her home so he could question her family about anything they may have seen, despite her protests. When they arrived, only her husband Alex was present, but a sound led him to their barn, where he found Alex's X12 limited edition. Impressed, he instead decided Alex would be his escort while investigating the Decepticon, sending Dot away for her G.H.O.S.T. training. However, as they drove, he fell victim to several seemingly targeted malfunctions by the vehicle. When a call came in that the rogue Decepticon had been spotted in G.H.O.S.T. HQ, he relieved Alex of duty and flagged down a passing old woman for a ride back to base. By the time he got there, however, the intruder was long gone. Classified

The cassette bots swiped Agent Schloder's badge as a prank, leading them to be pursued by Optimus and Megatron. Decoy Schloder helped oversee preparations at the G.H.O.S.T.-Autobot Alliance ceremony, including writing the teleprompter cues for Optimus and Megatron, only be forced to take cover when Skywarp and Nova Storm attacked. In the aftermath, Schloder informed the local news of their anonymous tip line for Decepticon sightings, threatening those who would dare prank call them. Age of Evolution, Part 1

Some time later at G.H.O.S.T. headquarters, Schloder was surprised to sees Agent Croft in a security room, wondering what she was doing. Agent Croft asked Schloder why they hadn't captured any Decepticons despite the quota being low that month. Scholder responded that they hadn't received any destress calls, to which Agent Croft ordered her little brother to go out and find any Decepticons. Scholder ordered G.H.O.S.T. agents to search for more Decepticons. Later at G.H.O.S.T. base the lights and cameras suddenly started to go off. Scholder asked Agent Bagheri what was happening, Agent Bagheri informing him that a cyber attacker had infiltrated the base. All of a sudden the Decepticon's cells opened, and the prisoners escaped. Agent Scholder ordered G.H.O.S.T. Agents to contain them. Agent Bagheri informed Scholder that she found the source of the cyber attacker, and it was coming from the van the cadets were driving in (which was really Hashtag in disguise). Scholder believed that Hashtag was a Decepticon infiltrator. He ordered Bagheri to see if she could take control of the van and drive it to the detention center, but she couldn't. Later, when Hashtag again hacked into G.H.O.S.T. files, Bagheri couldn't stop her from accessing the system with only a video of a puppy showing on screen. Scholder realized he was in trouble with Croft. Hashtag: Oops
