―Adam to Eva
Jonas Kahnwald was one of the two main influencers of the Knot, born to Michael and Hannah Kahnwald. As a teenager, he lived a happy life until his father's suicide, which started Jonas' depression. After he and his friends lost Mikkel Nielsen in the Winden Forest, Jonas began searching through his father's past, only to learn that Michael was Mikkel, who had time-travelled to the year 1986. When Jonas attempted to rescue Mikkel from the past, which would prevent his own birth, he was intercepted by Noah and was abandoned by his adult self. He escaped 1986 through a Wormhole to 2052.
In a post-apocalyptic Winden, Jonas faced Elisabeth Doppler and her cult that ruled over the wasteland. He learned about the Apocalypse and how his love interest and aunt Martha Nielsen was killed on the same day. In their captivity, Jonas was aided by Silja Tiedemann to journey through a God Particle to 1921, where he discovered the time-travelling secret society Sic Mundus, led by Jonas' elderly self known as Adam. Adam convinced Jonas to travel to the day before Michael's suicide but, in the end, Jonas was the catalyst in causing the tragedy, making him accept his significant role to play in the overall course of events. When he was slightly older, a time-travelling Jonas and Claudia Tiedemann arrived in the apocalypse, where Jonas attempted to rescue Martha, who was killed by Adam.
After surviving the apocalypse, Jonas grew up with Claudia, Noah and Elisabeth trying to allow a God Particles to be functional. Being loyal to Claudia, Jonas, as an adult, travelled to 2019 to ensure his younger self followed the same path Jonas went on. He attempted to destroy the Knot by closing the wormhole in the Winden Caves, but it was mostly unsuccessful. A few days before the apocalypse in 2020, Jonas reunited with his mother and explained most of the time-travel situation to the parents of his childhood friends. Following his disappointment in Hannah, Jonas tried to prevent Martha's death, only to be convinced by a teenage Noah to allow it to happen and instead travel with his friends to 1888.
Being stranded in 1888, Jonas and his friends joined Sic Mundus, led by Gustav Tannhaus at the time before his murder. While trying to create a time machine, the group was visited by an alternate Martha Nielsen, who revealed the existence of another world. Martha abandoned the group after giving them a piece of the God Particle, which Jonas used as a basis for allowing Sic Mundus to time-travel. Overtime, Jonas accepted his role as Adam and desired to destroy the origin of the Knot and both worlds, becoming the nemesis of Eva. He and his followers ensured certain events occurred in the timeline so that they could lead up to Adam potentially destroying the cycle. He sent his younger self to 2019 as he had already experienced and killed Martha.
Travelling to 2053, Adam made a deal with the alternate Martha that he met in 1888, but he planned to double-cross her in the end. Believing that the origin of the Knot was the Unknown, the son of an alternate Jonas Kahnwald and Martha, Adam had to brutally destroy Martha with the God Particle and to destroy her son, but his actions were in vain. With the help of a time-travelling Claudia, Adam discovered the true origin of the Knot: H.G. Tannhaus in the Origin World attempting to time-travel but instead accidentally created the two worlds and the cycle. Adam, knowing what must be done, used Quantum Entanglement to make a new reality for his younger self to follow, where he was instructed to prevent the creation of the Knot with Martha Nielsen of Eva's World. As his counterpart enacted his mission, Adam confronted Eva and made amends with her, making her accept that the Knot should be destroyed. When the deed was done, Adam and Eva spent their last moments together before being erased from existence.
Jonas has an introverted, quiet personality type. He seems to spend a lot of time alone, lying on his bed or the floor of his father's studio. He looks for clues about his father and why he might have killed himself. He develops PTSD following his death, which seems to happen without warning or explanation. While he did leave a note addressed to hi...
