Trivia
- In her Foreshadowing Quests silhouette and other media, Doctor Slone wears hoop earrings; a detail not present on the Outfit itself, and that is likely the remnant of an early design for the character.
- This is proven further by a placeholder image for the Chapter 2: Season 7 Battle Pass.

Lore
Doctor Slone was a member of the Imagined Order's Inner Circle, taking orders from Geno.[10] She used to be the main operator of The Bridge and is a brilliant inventor.
She was the central antagonist of Fortnite: Battle Royale, serving as the final antagonist of Chapter 2: Season 7, the secondary antagonist of Chapter 2: Season 8, the overarching antagonist of Chapter 3: Season 1, the main antagonist of Chapter 3: Season 2 and the main protagonist of Chapter 4: Season 3.
Personality
Slone is an extremely intelligent and cunning individual. Before the Imagined Order was disbanded, she showed extreme loyalty to it, doing everything she possibly could to carry out any of the IO's plans, even if her core personality doesn't fully align with them.[11] She is shown to be an excellent tactician, preparing for many case scenarios and generally trying to hoard as much intel as possible.[12] She also shows immense cunning and ruthlessness, unafraid to have her field agents rough up the IO's other forces if it means she gets one of her plans done.[13] Additionally, she easily recognizes the expendability of Loopers and uses them as sacrificial lambs on at least one occasion. However, despite her ruthless nature, Jones claims that Slone "isn't a monster",[11] and that she wasn't always like this,[14] and wanted to make things better."[15] making a case that there is some good in her that her employment doesn't necessarily allow her to show. After spending an indefinite amount of time in the Jungle recovering from her post-Collision injuries, she appears to have given up on the IO[4], showing that her loyalty was extreme but not flawless. Her personality and way of acting appears to have changed as though she is still cold towards others, her actions are now to benefit the Island.
Appearance
Slone is a black woman with black hair in an afro hairstyle. In her casual clothes; she wears yellow eyeglasses, a plaid white/black shirt, one yellow and one black tie, black pants and blue boots. Her battlesuit is similar to those of the IO Guards with dark bronze armorplates rather than gray ones.

Timeline
Before Chapter 1
Geno recruits Slone into the Imagined Order's Island Management Team.[22] She joins the inner circle and recruits John Jones.[23] After years of work, Jones wants to retire but Slone doesn't let him, because he was too important for the IO and threatened him saying that if he leaves his family will lose their protection.[24]
Chapter 2: Season 5
She orders Agent Jones to not let anyone escape The Loop in the cinematic trailer,[25] and doesn't appear for the rest of the season afterwards.
Zero Crisis Finale
She is again talking to Jones about how IO is evacuating, and Jones should save himself.[26] Jones disagrees, cuts ties with IO, and enlists the help of The Foundation to stop The Zero Point from imploding.
Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point
Slone works with The Batman Who Laughs and Lex Luthor to plant her anchor device in The Zero Point to use its power remotely.[27] They open Sideways Rifts in Metropolis to allow Lex and co. to enter in the Loop.
Chapter 2: Season 7
When The Last Reality arrived to the island, they used The Mothership to rip The Spire out of the ground and attempted to absorb the energy of The Zero Point. They failed, however, and the Zero Point was pushed down into the Bridge, unleashing a shockwave that destroyed The Spire, forming The Aftermath. With The Zero Point now recontained by the Imagined Order, Slone led the fight against The Last Reality as they invaded the island to take the Zero Point for themselves. Shortly after, the IO started crawling with "moles", thus she recruited The Looper to help her.[28] She guided the Looper through various missions, and revealed that she was developing a weapon that can destroy The Mothership.[29] She tells The Looper to active the Countermeasure Device, which is planned to destroy The Mothership.[30] In the process, she found that Maven was the mole they have been looking for,[31] and sent The Looper to confront her, in which they eliminated her.[32]
Operation: Sky Fire
Slone places the Loopers on Corny Complex to get Abducted by The Mothership. Once inside, Slone hacks the Alien Jetpack to interact with them. She guides them throughout The Mothership, and when she is about to detonate the bombs, The Cube rises from water and she weaponizes the jetpacks. The Cube turns dormant, she tells them that she will cannot bring them to Apollo because she cant let The Cube return.[33] She then detonates the bombs and cuts the connection.
Chapter 2: Season 8
After Surface Hub IO-F4 gets destroyed, Slone moves to IO Convoy with a group of IO Guards. They start their journey from Compact Cars and move throughout Apollo. On October 26th, They finally arrive at **REDACTED**, where they open the bunker located there and reveal the IO Staging Facility. They have gathered the alien ship materials from the flatbed truck inside the facility.
The End
It was revealed that Doctor Slone had captured Agent Jones and had him incarcerated inside of The Bridge. She was seemingly planning on executing him for betraying the Imagined Order, but before she could, The Foundation arrives, killing her IO Guards and saving Agent Jones. Slone thought he had died during the Zero Crisis Finale when he had sealed himself inside of The Zero Point, resulting in the formation of The Spire.[34] The Foundation then unmasks himself, mocking Slone and saying that "he got over it". Slone angrily pulls out a Pistol and started firing at The Foundation. However, The Foundation blocks all of her shots, and locks her inside of the room.
Chapter 3: Season 1
Despite losing control of The Loop, Slone survives the events of The End. The IO sends drills to reach the surface of the newly flipped island. Slone is the first to reach Artemis as Snow Stealth Slone and after her, Mole Teams reach the surface one by one, along with IO Guards.
Chapter 3: Season 2
Slone and the IO launch the war against The Seven, where they execute an all-out attack on Artemis, deploying their Airships and Titan Tanks.
Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War #1-4
Slone and Gunnar guard an IO Outpost against The Resistance, blowing it up purposely to cut their losses. They later ambush Agent Jones, The Foundation, The Imagined and Spider-Man at The Bridge, but they manage to escape into Reality: 616 using The Zero Point.
Collision / Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War #5
Slone pilots a Tank as she is stationed below The Collider and fights against The Seven's forces. She calls Gunnar to find Doctor Doom and get his help, mocking that he probably has a doctorate in only one Reality. As Jones, The Foundation and a group of Loopers get close, she orders her men to not leave until they are dead. She asks Jones for his last words and gets in her tank, only to be crushed by the Mecha Strike Commander.
Chapter 4: Season 1
Slone survived all this time as an unseen character, gravely injured in her tank before being caught by The Zero Point, which took her to Asteria, where she would end up trapped in the Jungle beneath the Island. However, she was later saved by Relik who helped her recover from her injuries.[35] She then began to study the jungle and the ruins of the ancient civilization that inhabited it. While locked up in the Jungle she recorded several audio logs of her findings.
Chapter 4: Season 3
Slone is finally freed from the jungle after the surface of Asteria collapsed; she continues to study The Ancients civilization as Innovator Slone and claims to have a plan for The Apparatus and the Island.[36] She no longer wears the IO insignia and indicates in dialogue with Gunnar that she is done with the IO.[4]
Chapter 4: Season 4
Upon the arrival of the Eclipse, Slone gained intel on a Time Machine in possession the faction's leader Kado Thorne hidden deep in his most protected vault.[37] During which she puts together a heist crew with the help of Nolan Chance and Antonia, gathering the help of The Looper, Piper Pace, Fish Thicc, Mae, and Khaby Lame leading up to the Time Machine heist. Later she reunited with Jones after drifting in space for a while, able to recruit him in despite being reluctant in doing so due to events in the past.[38]
Chapter 4: Season OG
After the heist crew's success in stealing the Time Machine Slone was able to begin the next phase of her plan, involving Jones traveling to the past for an extraction.[39] During which she sent him an Audio Recorder as a reminder on his mission and what will happen to the present while Jones is in in the past. The contents of which are constantly changing due to changes in the past causing a butterfly effect into the present.[40]
Chapter 5: Season 1
It's currently unknown what happened to Slone after The Big Bang event. But it would appear that she is still physically active as Jones has contacted The Underground to find her.[41]

Welcome to the operation! | |
The aliens are about to start their biggest abduction yet. | |
What they don't know is that we've attached explosives to all their targets. | |
You're going to ride along with the bombs and make sure they do their jobs. | |
Okay, here we go. Hold tight! | |
I'll be in touch once you're all on board. | |
They didn't arm you... | |
And troops are everywhere. | |
They might be onto us. | |
I found the abduction chamber housing the bombs. | |
Once this patrol passes, I'll get you out of here. | |
Okay, go! We don't have much time. | |
I'm gonna find you a path around the patrols. | |
Watch out for each other. | |
If you get seen, we're done. | |
When you get to the security door, stand by. | |
Enemy craft ahead, but they're passing by. | |
I'll open the door once it's clear. | |
Okay, they're gone. Give me a moment. | |
Come on... come on... | |
I got it. Let's go! | |
If you get seen, get across the bridge as quickly as you can. | |
You've been spotten! Keep moving! | |
Hostiles ahead! | |
Watch out! | |
I've sealed them in. | |
Okay, give me a second to think... | |
There's a transport tube up ahead. That may work. | |
There! that transport tube will get you past their patrols. | |
These aren't intended for organics. | |
Let's hope that's not an issue. | |
We seem to be safe... | |
For now... | |
Stay alert. | |
There should be another transport tube ahead. | |
Looks like I'll have to reverse the airflow. | |
Give me a moment. | |
Okay, hold on. | |
Just need to... | |
Okay, and then... | |
And done. Get in the tubes. | |
This will take you right to the abduction chamber. | |
Oh, good. The bombs are in place. | |
I'll get things ready on my end. | |
You keep those backpacks near the bombs. | |
Okay, I'm gonna start the arming sequence. | |
Wait, what's happening? | |
The signal was cut off! | |
I'll figure this out. | |
Just stay alive! | |
This...is impossible. | |
We thought it was gone for good! | |
Last time it nearly destroyed the Island! | |
Okay. We need to hit this thing hard and fast! | |
I need to weaponize your packs. | |
Brace yourselves! | |
Get to the windows! | |
We have to arm those bombs NOW! | |
Arming sequence is good. | |
Almost there... | |
And we're done! | |
You played your part. | |
Now I have to play mine. | |
We are fighting a war in which we're hopelessly outgunned. | |
I won't bring you home. | |
Not if there is a chance that... thing... can make it back to the Island. | |
Over... and out. |

But I'm glad you're here... | |
I finally get a chance to finish what I started. | |

DR. SLONE: It's Slone. Day number... (exhausted sigh) Still in the jungle. | |
I think you know that it takes a little more than dropping a tank on me to take me out. | |
I'll have to thank my "rescuer". Hope he doesn't expect a fruit basket. | |
I have a plan, but I'll need to move fast. | |
The key to all of this is the people who left this jungle behind. | |
DR. SLONE: We have a new wrinkle here. These ruins are impossible to date using traditional methods. I don't like it. | |
And... of course... No sign of catastrophic damage. It's as if the residents just ...vanished. | |
But before they did, they left a message... | |
And... I know, I know, but... I think I'm the one intended to find it. | |
DR. SLONE: I've found what looks like an ancient, busted machine. | |
It's a telescope, or... some kind of stellar projector? I'll need to run scans. | |
If this thing can do what I believe it can... it will be key to my plans for the Island. | |
DR. SLONE: I officially declare my physical recovery complete. | |
I'm a little creaky, but I've got a mission. That's all I need | |
DR. SLONE: My investigations into The Apparatus have been interrupted by a small army of "explorers." | |
This could work to my benefit. I've made contact as a possible expert for their team. | |
If I can convince them to excavate the site, I can get The Apparatus working. | |
DR. SLONE: I've been told, by someone you and I both trust, that we need to get off this island. As soon as we can. | |
Is that what the previous residents did? Find some... true home among the stars? | |
These glyphs are a clue to where we need to go next. If I can solve them. | |
DR. SLONE: Attempts to match details from the glyphs with the movements of astronomical objects has been... difficult. | |
The glyphs appear to be predicting an incoming eclipse. | |
All readings indicate that's impossible. | |
But me standing here. Alive. That's an impossibility too. | |
And if these glyphs are truly the unheard voice of the past... | |
Then you know... I have to listen... | |
DR. SLONE: You're the last one I want to call in on this. | |
You know me too well, for one. You'll be... infuriating | |
But you're the only one I trust to handle this. | |
(sigh) I can't believe I'm saying this... but I need your help. | |
Let's hope your aim hasn't improved. | |
DR. SLONE: (exhausted) I don't know how... I survived. | |
Some stranger, he... found me. In what's left of my tank, deep under the Island. | |
His technology kept me alive. He says it... it belongs to those who used to live here. | |
When I recover... I need to learn everything about this jungle. Its people. | |
I need a plan. A mission. I won't... falter here. I won't surrender. |

DR. SLONE: From what I can tell, The... apparatus uses kinetic ore prisms to manipulate light. | |
If my instincts are right, I need to get it working. Now. | |
DR. SLONE: I've scoured the villages of the people who lived here. Their inventions, their writings. | |
They used refined kinetic ore to create amazing technologies. | |
They were scientists. Visionaries. And now all we have of them is relics. | |
DR. SLONE: The glyphs are the only clues I have for the intended use of the Apparatus. | |
It's not enough. Yet. | |
The explorers are pushing on with excavation. I need to figure out how to power this thing. | |
DR. SLONE: Energy debris from the Rift Gate collapse has complicated my long-range cosmic scans... | |
...but I am picking up something. A signal I've seen before. | |
A very old signal. One I think I recognise. | |
DR. SLONE: Analysis continues on the incoming signal. | |
It's not a natural cosmic phenomenon. And it's coming our way... with intent. | |
There's no way the people who left this place could've known about this... eons ago. | |
... unless it's happened before. | |
The Eclipse is the key. It has to be. |

DR. SLONE: Jones. Slone here. | |
You know when and where you are, and that means you know what you have to do. | |
... and what will happen on this side when you're done. | |
Tomorrow, you take the time machine back... and tonight I'm recording this. | |
It occurs to me that I've never sent a message through time so... | |
You might want to check back. | |
Everything you do will ripple forward to this very moment... | |
This might not even be the first time I've recorded this message. | |
Do the job, Jones. It has to be done. | |
DR. SLONE: Jones. Slone here. | |
I feel like I've done this before so let's assume I have... unless this is Deja-Vu. | |
Alright. Short version. You're back here for a reason. You're smart enough to figure it out. | |
And it's not to change the future, by the way; drop that fantasy right now. | |
This is an extraction, and you're leading the way. | |
You cannot hesitate in your duty, Jones. | |
The world you're leaving is one of many. | |
And there are more worlds than even you can imagine. | |
Keep it that way. Do the job. | |
DR. SLONE: Jones. Slone here. | |
This... is not my first message, is it? You must be making progress. | |
Or you're screwing everything up. | |
If you somehow end up back in the now I will destroy this Reality out of spite. | |
Not that that would stop you from somehow bumbling back into my orbit. | |
There's a reason why it's always you and me, time and time again. | |
One of these times, we're gonna get it right. | |
And I'm pretty sure this is it. | |
DR. SLONE: Jones. Slone here. | |
I've definitely left this message many times before so... get right to it, huh? | |
This is the first time in... countless lifetimes that I don't know what happens next. | |
We're both heading off into the unknown. | |
I guess.. this is goodbye for this me and that you. | |
But we'll meet again. | |
Reality's not done with us yet. | |
Keep the campfires burning, Jones... | |
Wherever and whenever you go. |
